“Emily” is the 23rd song featured on Living with Ghosts. This track, along with “The Five Of Us Are Dying,” is a rough mix, meaning it was recorded so the band could see how it sounded, but was ultimately scrapped.
[Verse 1]
It was the worst thing
That I'd ever done
It was a headshot
You know, you gave me the gun
Oh, please, just hide me now
I won't tell a soul
It was the worst part
You did to this little girl
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, please, don't leave me now
Baby, please, don't go away
[Chorus]
Emily, you're far from home
And, Emily, we'll figure
If I could figure it out
We'll both now be free
Emily, come home
[Verse 2]
It was the last time
I saw her alive
Sometimes, you do things
You need to do to survive
Oh, please, don't leave me now
I'll miss you so much
Oh, please, don't go away
I'm needing your touch
[Pre-Chorus]
But please don't leave me now
Baby, please don't go away
[Chorus]
Emily, you're far from home
And, Emily, we'll figure
If I could figure it out
We'll both now be free
Emily, come home
[Bridge]
Come home, come home, come home
[Chorus]
Now, Emily, you're far from home
And, Emily, we'll figure
If I could figure it out
We'll both now be free
And, Emily, come home
Now, Emily, come home
Now, Emily, come home
Now, Emily, come home
[Gerard talking]
"I'd like to hear that, see if the tempo is good, ya know?
Yeah, I wanna listen to it."

Emily is a fictional character created for the purposes of this song. It is possible she is a metaphor for something, or maybe a person in her own.
Alternatively, she could be Emily from Faulker’s book, A Rose For Emily. My Chem previously wrote a track about this tale, titled “To The End.”
