Herrick & Hooley
Emma (Tribute to Emma Greer)
[Verse 1 - Mallory Merk]
Man this a little bit serious
Remember when they didn't believe in us
Thinking 'bout you up in heavens hands
Open arms until you land
Leaving my heart heavy like some lead
Writing this shit with a heavy hand
Sendin' you texts, I'm just checking in
Stuck on your laugh I can't hear again
Everything 'bout you is heaven sent
Chief Keef remind me where it began
Played that shit once, I knew we was friends
Brought you right back where we let you in
Up at the game and we held your hand
You know what it means to us down on land
You will [?] shine till the top of the stairs
[Chorus - Mallory Merk]
Maybe it was your time to fly
Just feel that my tears never dry
[Refrain - Emma Greer]
"Hi this is like my first like real formal YouTube video so bare with me, I don't really know what I'm doing, um but I just wanted to tell, like, the story of how I, um, how like I found out I got sick and that whole thing"
[Verse 2 - Mallory Merk]
I remember the day that you broke the news
Your voice is like rubber, my heart the glue
Thought to myself how could it be true
To so many people you would amuse
Wish I could say I'm passed the blues
I'm lookin' around, are you leaving clues?
See you through lights in the purple hues
The Emma I talked to, I know it's you
[Chorus - Mallory Merk]
Maybe it was your time to fly
Just feel that my tears never dry
[Refrain - Emma Greer]
"That's what you need to do, then, it eventually got the point where my stomach was huge, it was like I was pregnant, and it was the most painful thing I've ever experienced in my whole life"
[Bridge - Mallory Merk]
Slowing it, slowin it down one time
Emma, my girl, you know you's a dime
The way that you smile made everyone so bright
Dreamin' about you, you sleepin' tight
Slowing it, slowin it down one time
Emma, my girl, you know you's a dime
The way that you smile made everyone so bright
Dreamin' about you, you sleepin' tight
[Chorus - Mallory Merk]
Maybe it was your time to fly
Just feel that my tears never dry
