Emily Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Emily, yeah
All you ask of me to do
All you want is me for you
Emily, yeah
There's no stopping you just yet
You remember to forget
You remember to forget
[Chorus]
Well, Emily, don't you know
That it's hard for me? Yeah
Emily, don't you know
That it's hard for me? Yeah
To rest when you lied
To make you feel good inside
[Post-Chorus]
Na, na, na, na, na-na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na
[Verse 2]
Emily, yeah
Will you really see this through?
What's a Monday like for you?
Emily, yeah
You're so spiteful and so mean
With your afternoon routine
With your afternoon routine
[Verse 3]
Emily, you can work this out
But it'll hurt you, child
It'll hurt you, child
Emily, said, "Honey, shut your mouth"
You better work this out
Or it'll hurt you, child
You better work this out
Or it'll hurt you, child
[Chorus]
Because oh, honey, don't you know
That it's hard for me? Yeah
Emily, don't you know
That it's hard for me? Yeah
To rest when you lied
Oh, to make you feel good inside
[Bridge]
La, la, la, la, la-la

La, la, la, la
La, la, la
[Outro]
Emily, yeah
I can't ask of more of you
It takes more than one, it's true
How's that broken heart for you?
How's that working out?

What have the artists said about the song?
“Emily” is like a letter or a conversation. It was one of those strange moments where I literally sat down and knew what I wanted to do. I listened to a lot of Fleetwood Mac and wanted to do a Lindsey Buckingham-style guitar part, something really muted and acoustic and but very simple. I think the...
