Ben Folds Five
Emaline
[Verse 1]
Now, I wish it was
Last September
When 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

[Chorus]
When I've heard enough, I tell myself
That we've learned our lesson, but I
Don't wanna walk away from Emaline

[Verse 2]
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."

[Verse 3]
She's dear to me
And so expensive
I'm not talking 'bout money
But money talks
I hate to listen
But lately it's been screaming in my ear
[Chorus]
And when I've heard enough, I tell myself
That we've learned our lesson, but I
Don't wanna walk away from Emaline

[Bridge]
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
Now, I wish it was
Last September

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
Yeah, 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
[Chorus]
Now I've heard enough, I'll tell you what
Really shouldn't sit here and whine
I'll take you down to see my Emaline

[Outro]
I wish it was
