Ben Folds - Emaline lyrics

I wish it was last September

Where we could lose ourselves in crowds every day

'Cause Emaline, she'll walk in time

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

But when I've heard enough, I tell myself

That we've learned our lesson but I

Don't wanna walk away from Emaline

They're talking now

Does she know what theyre saying?

She's got the air, to float above it

I'm sinking into someone should pay.

She's dear to me, and so expensive

I'm not talking 'bout money,

But money talks, I hate to listen

But lately it's been screaming in my ear

And when I've heard enough I tell myself

That we've learned our lesson but I

Don't wanna walk away from Emaline

It only took me one look to understand Emaline

Sometimes 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

I 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

Want advice? Girls need attention.

Or are you different from all mine?

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

From people like you see black and white

I've heard enough, I tell myself

I really shouldn't sit here and whine

I'll take you down to see my Emaline.
