Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Emily
I'd turn mountains into valleys if it would bring you home
And I'd sell all of my possessions just to know you weren't alone
But I can't go
Where you gone
[Verse 2]
We were both born in the summertime
Of 1991
In the same old Appalachian town known for
Nothin' and no one
[Verse 3]
Our Mommas knew each other way back when, though I wouldn't say
That they were friends, so how could
They ever really know?
[Verse 4]
That Emily
I'd turn mountains into valleys if it would bring you home
And I'd sell all of my possessions just to know you weren't alone
But I can't go
Where you gone
[Verse 5]
I know it wasn't always roses
Sometimes love can feel like hate
But I'd take each slight a thousand times for a second
Away from all this pain
[Verse 6]
And that angry year, it slowly passed, them sullen stares
Between our classes, I don't know
If you ever really cared
[Verse 7]
Oh, Emily
I'd turn mountains into valleys if it would bring you home
And I'd sell all of my possessions just to know you weren't alone
But I can't go
Where you gone
[Verse 8]
And I can't go back
To that memory
I go crazy
Thinking of you far away
From me
[Verse 9]
So Instead I like to picture you
Out at Surfer's Paradise
Waist-deep in the water with the sun
Reflected in those blue eyes
[Verse 10]
And I can't say every way we've changed, since the day
You went away, I just know
Never be the same
[Verse 11]
Oh, Emily
I'd turn mountains into valleys if it would bring you home
And I'd sell all of my possessions just to know you weren't alone
But I can't go, Emily
[Verse 12]
I'd turn mountains into valleys if it would bring you home
And I'd sell all of my possessions just to know you weren't alone
But I can't go
Where you gone
