lioness (emily) Lyrics

Emily had the very worst winter in memory

Got fired from the gym

Her boss' boss said her years of hard work and training meant nothing to him

Emily has the worst ex-boyfriend on record

He said he had to leave her in December

Because of bipolar symptoms or something

We still don't really know

Emily, though she lost her entire client list

Emily, handles challenge like a lioness

And though she's been slammed with bummer after bummer

She's gonna build something this summer

Emily has more endurance than I've ever witnessed

She says she wants to try and get into fitness, but hey

Already runs every day, by herself or with her friends

Emily has her own apartment on Dupont

She's gonna have people over a lot

But still do the self-care thing, 'cause she's building the life she wants

Emily, life handed you a test

Emily, handles challenge like a lioness

And though she's been slammed with bummer after bummer

She's gonna build something this summer

Hey, I feel so close when we complain

Hey, we need each other every day

Hey, you turn off my anxious machine

Hey, is this what "best friends" means?

Emily, life could have made you a mess

Emily, handles challenge like a lioness

And though she's been slammed with bummer after bummer after bummer after bummer

She's gonna build something this summer
