"Emmy" lyrics

Emmy's in her bedroom with her long black hair
Getting all dressed up said she's going somewhere
Matty's in the kitchen with some shit to say
While she tries to explain we don't want the same thing

Winter's round the corner this time of year
Brings back memories of those no longer here
Matty, be light, she can't stay by your side
But he'll watch from door in case if she changes her mind

She's growing up
But don't you think too much
You'll learn to walk before you run
Don't have to jump the gun
You're in a rush
Drifting out of touch
I was thinking you were all for me

Sick of living this way but you just cant change
Holding on to what you can before it slips away
Mama I don't want this blood on my hands
Or to walk in the shadows on my own again

The lines on your face sure ain't going away
I'll be sitting there wishing you were here some day
No it don't add up once I've thought it through
I'll spend most my life without you

She's growing up
But don't you think too much
You'll learn to walk before you run
Don't have to jump the gun
You're in a rush
Drifting into dusk
I was thinking you were all for me

Emmy Lou
Don't wanna lose you too
See the writing on the wall
All you have to do is call now
And ku ku
It happened all too soon
I'm forever coming back home to you
