Beyond the cost of diesel fuel
|
and the tearing down of my old high school
|
I still think about her
|
The nation's rising deficit
|
and my fatal crave for cigarettes
|
They all make me think about her
|
|
Chorus:
|
My life's one big catastrophe
|
so don't expect too much from me
|
I'm just hanging on, surviving Emily
|
|
My T-shirt that she always wore
|
Her make-up in the bathroom drawer
|
I can't get away from her
|
Her perfume on my pillow case
|
When I close my eyes, I always see her face
|
Sometimes I wish I were blind
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Emily can you hear me
|
I'm callin' out your name
|
Rescue me from these lonely days and sleepless nights
|
They're driving me insane
|
|
I tried to stop this endless search
|
Even started going back to church
|
But I still feel the same
|
and my friends all say I'm doing fine
|
It's just gonna take a little time
|
Yeah, nothing's changed
|
|
My life's one big catastrophe
|
So don't expect too much from me
|
I'm just hanging on
|
Surviving
|
Just hanging on
|
Surviving
|
I'm barely hanging on
|
Surviving Emily
|
