Intro: Verse: I wish it was last September When 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 But when I've heard enough I tell myself That we've learned our lesson But I don't want to walk away from Emaline Verse: They're talking now Does she know what they're saying? She's got the air to float above it I'm sinking in this, someone should pay Verse: She's dear to me and so expensive Now I'm not talking 'bout money When money talks, I hate to listen But lately it's been screaming in my ear But when I've heard enough I tell myself That we've learned our lesson But I don't want to walk away from Emaline Bridge: 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 PIANO Solo: I wish it was last September Don't let me walk away from Emaline Verse: For stupid reasons Now I'm talking 'bout money When money talks, I hate to listen But lately it's been scream - ing in my ear Verse: Oh one advice, girls need attention Or are you different than all mine? For what it's worth, she's got attention For people like you see black and white Now I've heard enough, I'll tell you what Really should - n't sit here and whine I'll take you down to see my Emaline OUTRO Solo: repeat outro
