Emerson Drive - Lemonade lyrics

(Hillary Lindsey/Blair Daly/Troy Verges)

Called in sick to the coffee shop

Said let's go someplace the weather is hot

Buy two plane tickets and call the yellow cab

Drank all our money in beach side bars

Took pictures of each other smoking cheap cigars

Stole a blanket from the hotel room and slept on the sand

We held the world like a glass of lemonade

It tasted sweet, oh man, we had it made

(Chorus:)

Didn't we laugh, weren't we brave?

Wasn't it cool, acting like fools

With nothing in our way

Picture in a frame, deep blue sky

You and I, stuck in time, like we would never fade

Baby, why'd we have to change?

Did we get older, too grown up

To do anything, just because

Just because we just don't give a damn?

Oh, when did we get so serious

What happened to that part of us

Baby can you help me, I just don't understand

We held the world like a glass of lemonade

Tasted sweet, oh man, we had it made

(Chorus)

Look at us in that photograph, so beautifully naive

I want it back

(Chorus)

Let's call in sick, leave this town

Don't matter where we go, let's just go now

I'm thirsty for a glass of lemonade
