Emily Lyrics by Ryan Rickenbach

2020

[Verse 1]
Time is a bastard, time is a thief

Is littered with ashes falling from my youth

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I ain't got no lovers on this side of town

[Bridge]

[Chorus]
When you come for me, Emily
Can't you see what will be

[Post-Chorus]
I need you
Come for me, Emily

[Outro]
You're gonna be something but a shooting star
You're gonna be something but a shooting star
You're gonna be something but a shooting star
You're gonna be something but a-
