Emily Lyrics

I don't wanna walk into this with my eyes closed

But her smile has me feeling kinda wistful

Like I lost too many years to care

I love the way she dresses like the world is falling backwards

And the only way to live is to be reckless

Like she's compelling you to smile if you dare

Money on the outside

Hardy on the in

When she kissed me I cried

And she answered with a grin

Middle of the dancefloor

Smiling through the tears

She's the one I adore

Now she's the only thing I fear

I found my self esteem round the back of my friend's house

Drinking tinnies till the neighbours call the boys round

Walking home as the sun appears

Windows splitting up the party into boxes

Made a front row for the scene of my first kiss

Gave a bow as the night broke out into cheers

Money on the outside

Hardy on the in

When she kissed me I cried

And she answered with a grin

Middle of the dancefloor

Smiling through the tears

She's the one I adore

Now she's the only thing I fear

Tripping over my words

Never quite sure

How to be the type of

Person she'll endure

I hope she treats me softly

And when she lets me down

I hope that she'll think fondly of the creature that she found

Heart attacks from holding hands

And waiting for her texts to land

Playing pool as best I can

With rolled up sleeves and farmer's tans

The longest summer I ever had

Thin white sheets and broken fans

Seeing each night through the lens

Of being drunk in love

If I never had a happy life

At least I can say that I tried

To throw myself into the kinds

Of situations that inspire

The songs I sing at 25

That capture hope with all my might

I gave them to the open sky

And love without ever asking why

Oh why

Money on the outside

Hardy on the in

When she kissed me I cried

And she answered with a grin

Middle of the dancefloor

Smiling through the tears

She's the one I adore

Now she's the only thing I fear

Tripping over my words

Never quite sure

How to be the type of

Person she'll endure

I hope she treats me softly

And when she lets me down

I hope that she'll think fondly of the creature that she found
