Emerald

Yes, she's wearing a t-shirt of a band that I don't know

So I pretend that I'm their number one fan, but she's talking about a song I haven't heard

Oh damn, this isn't going as planned, I grab my drink with a shaking hand

I pretend it's all going fine

But I'm really just thinking if I get another drink, will my card decline?

I don't smoke 'cause I'm broke and I'm scared

That my lungs will break and never be repaired

But tonight I'm a smoker- If that makes you move closer

I gotta win you over, but I'm so not sober

How do I make myself

One you cannot live without, someone you dream about

How do I make myself

One you cannot live without, someone you dream about

I don't know

But I have got to know soon

'Cause I am so into you

You've got that emerald shining through

And I've had brown and I've had blue

But they were different to you

'Cause you've got that emerald shining

You've got that emerald shining through

Now she's talking about a movie that she saw last month

And it just so happens to be my favourite one

So I say how did you find it? Said she didn't like it

Oh my, well hey, neither did I

I'll lie – just so I can fit that shape

Even though it just might be a big mistake

How do I make you like me? It isn't very likely, but

I'll do what it takes

See, I don't smoke 'cause I'm broke and I'm scared

That my lungs will break and never be repaired

But tonight I'm a smoker- If that makes you move closer

I gotta win you over, but I'm so totally sober

How do I make myself -

One you cannot live without, somebody that you dream about

How do I make myself -

One you cannot live without, someone you dream about

I don't know

But I have got to know soon

'Cause I am so into you

You've got that emerald shining through

And I've had brown and I've had blue

But they were different to you

You've got that emerald shining

You've got that emerald shining through

Now I'm about to go berserk

When is this plan gonna work?

I don't think I'll ever understand

I try so hard, I don't succeed

I smoke so much and I can barely breath and now

I need another plan

To make you like me

What is this other plan?

How do I make you like me?

What is this other plan?

How do I make you like me?

I don't know

But I've gotta know soon

'Cause I'm so into you

You've got that emerald shining through

I don't know

But I have got to know soon

'Cause I'm so into you

You've got that emerald shining through

And I've had brown and I've had blue

But they were nothing like you

'Cause you've got that emerald shining

You've got that emerald shining through
