Emily, emily i can't, emily 
I can't leave 
So i climb, so i climb on your 
So i climb on your fire escape 
In the rush of stealing what was mine 
I stumbled on the notion of time lost 
Emily emily i can't, emily 
I can't leave 

Forgive me, not today 
Forgive me stay in your sleep 
Forgive me, not today 
Forgive me stay 
In the last hours of light 
Your patient pantomime 
Heals the stories that i tell 
To myself/and no one else 
No whisper on my mind 
No tired arms that bind 
Can steal you away/from me this time 

Emily, emily i can't, emily 
I can't leave 
So i ride, so i ride on your 
So i ride/on you hobby horse 

Finde this a better way 
With brides dressed in white 
With dreams of starting over right 
A kindred soul i'm leaving 
A past that i must fight 
Discover my freedloms/up in lights 
The kiss that is america 
The babes dressed in blue 
My wish of starting over/lies with you 
Forgive me...
