Emaline - Ben Folds Five

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 learned 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

When 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 learned our lesson, and 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

I wish it was last September

Don’t let me walk away from Emaline

For stupid reasons

Now I’m talking 'bout money

When money talks

I hate to listen

But lately it’s been screaming in my ear

Oh, what advice!

Girls need attention

Or are you different 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 meet my Emaline

I wish it was
