Emily (feat. The Staves)

When your heart controls you

And strangles up your mind

There's a haze above you

And a glaze over your eyes

It's the place you flee to

When you want to run and hide

Sit by yourself

Losing track of time

Emily, won't you let me in?

Unlock the door, maybe I can be your friend

All those years of heartache would've turned me into stone

I can see why you might wanna be left on your own

Maybe when you're older it won't cut you like a knife

But it's not my place to tell you how to live your life

Emily, won't you let me in?

Unlock the door, maybe I can be your friend

Yours is a leaf worth turning over

But I'm not trying to be your lover

Just another shoulder to cry on

Emily, won't you let me in?

Unlock the door, maybe I can be your friend

Oh, Emily, won't you let me in?

Put down your gun, don't you let this be the end
