Hey Emily
written by Kevin Basko


Drive down main street sympathy lines keeping time
Emily’s a board game life with a solitaire mind
7:14 on the clock to make it stop she’s got to be
Another pillowcase for the angry face to let it free
I don’t know why Emily does but she keeps pushing through
I don’t know why Emily does but she prays for them too
Screams mad like children on a jungle gym
She’s got a war at hand and a storm always in
11:26 on the clock to make it stop she’s got it fine
But she’s peaceful and she loves to love all the time
Hey Emily why you see so clearly girl showing the world to love
Hey Emily why you see right through me girl sharing all your love
Hey Emily why don’t you don’t seem to see what your made of girl
Showing the world to love
I don’t know how Emily makes the best of her time
Emily lives a life so strong I wish it was mine
