"Emaline (Shelved First Attempt)" lyrics

Now, I wish it was
Last September
We could lose ourselves in crowds every day
'Cause Emaline don't walk in time
She's not the same, that's all you can say

When I've heard enough, I tell myself
That we've learned our lesson, but I
Don't wanna walk away from Emaline

They're talking now
Does she know what they're saying?
She's got the air
To float above it
I'm sinking in the "Someone should pay"

She's dear to me
And so expensive
Now, I'm not talking 'bout money
But money talks
And I hate to listen
But lately it's been screaming in my ear

When I've heard enough, I tell myself
That we've learned our lesson, but I
Don't wanna walk away from Emaline

It only took me one look to understand Emaline
Sometimes I don't know what she's saying
Sometimes I do
Sometimes I don't know what she's saying
But I know, I know
Now I know what she wants to believe
Now, I wish it was
Last September

Don't let me walk away from Emaline
For stupid reasons
Now I'm talking 'bout money
When money talks
I hate to listen
But lately it's been screaming in my ear

What advice!
Girls need attention
Well, are you different than all mine?
For all it's worth
She's got attention
From people like you who see black and white

Now I've heard enough, I'll tell you what
I really shouldn't sit here and whine
And I'll take you down to see my Emaline

I wish it was
