Ben Folds Five - Emaline lyrics

Now, I wish it was last September

We could lose ourselves in crowds everyday

'Cause Emaline, don't walk in time,

She's not the same that's all you can say.

(*When I've heard enough, I tell myself)

That we've learnt our lesson, but I,

Don't wanna walk away from Emaline.

They're talking now.

Does she know what they're saying?

She's got the air, to float above it.

I'm sinking in the "Someone Should Pay".

She's dear to me, and so expensive.

Now I'm not talking 'bout money.

Money talks,

I hate to listen,

But lately it's been screaming in my ear.

When I've heard enough, I tell myself-

That we've learnt our lesson, but I,

Don't wanna walk away from Emaline.

It only took me one look to understand Emaline,

sometime I don't know what she's saying.

Sometimes I do,

Sometimes I don't,

know what she's saying

But I know,

I know,

I know what she wants to believe

It wish it was last September

Don't let me walk away from Emaline.

For stupid reasons,

Now I'm talking 'bout money

Money talks,

I hate to listen,

But lately it's been screaming in my ear

Yeah, what advice! Girls need attention.

Or are you diffrent than all mine?

For all it's worth, she's got attention

From people like you who see Black and White

Now I've heard enough, I'll tell you what

Really shouldn't sit here and whine,

I'll take you down to see my Emaline.
