“Georgia” is a standout fan favorite from Emily’s The Seven EP written about no one in particular. In an NPR interview with Michael Feinstein, Emily explains how “Georgia” came about:
“When I write songs, I kind of just mouth melodies. I record myself. I hear back my nonsense and I try to make sens...
[Verse 1]
I was not ready the day you gave me your heart
I was still falling apart
But since that moment
I can't stop hearing your name
Wondering about you, always..
[Hook]
Come back Georgia, come back
Come back Georgia, come back
I just need another chance

Come back Georgia, come back
Come back Georgia, come back

[Verse 2]

[Hook]
Come back Georgia come back
Come back Georgia come back
I just need another chance

Come back Georgia come back

[Hook]
Come back Georgia come back
Come back Georgia come back
I just need another chance
Chance to make it better
Come back Georgia come back
Come back Georgia come back
I just need another chance
Chance to make it better
Come back Georgia come back
Come back Georgia come back
I just need another chance
Chance to make it better
Come back Georgia come back
