Hey Emily

Hey Emily, I can see that you're looking sort of low
You should know, that your kids will turn out fine
It's been long since he's gone, still you never say a word
You preferred feelings kept in line.
And in your mind he's still around
In the pictures that you've found
painted from a movie screen
Your love is deeper than it looks
Confirmation from your books
And the TV shows you've seen
It's 9 o'clock so you walk anywhere the currents flow
To a show, or perhaps a social dance
It's no fun, though you've done nothing like this for some time
You still find, absentee romance.
The pounding of the undertow
is compelling you to go
find some place you're not alone
The world keeps spinning and you find
that you're being left behind
waiting for a love unknown
SOLO
An empty home. You're alone.
Still you feel inclined to say, "How's your day?"
Needing just to correspond.
You feel he's there, so you share
a conversation for a while, and you smile
cuz he won't respond.
(break into insanity)
Your thoughts are growing rather stale
So you look back through the mail
Hoping you can find escape
It's getting crowded in your mind
sharing ideas you find
with each flower printed drape.
Hey Emily, I can see that you're looking for a friend.
Heaven send someone custom made for you.

It's Not Me
03:03
|

Look back 10 years and define
The things you never left behind
Isn’t it embarrassing to see?
How superfluous your life can be
All the things you thought of
All the things you said you
Always would adhere to
Never would deflect you
Now it’s not so easy
Keeping your heart into
Dreams that you’ve abandoned
But declared that you’d see through
Trying to prove a point that went dull long ago
The idea that seemed so sharp is the one that nobody wants to know
So why can’t I see?
That it’s not me
It’s hard to believe
That it’s not me
Just because I said I would
It copped a path for my life
Just to prove that I could
To people long left behind
And I wish that I could cancel
Due to lack of interest
All the things I thought of aloud
And had a witness
But I was so much younger
And it was so in fashion
But now I’m holding onto my past
But without passion
And I’ve got a feeling that I’m not all alone
Heading in a direction that I’ve long since outgrown
So why can’t I see?
That it’s not me
It’s hard to believe
That it’s not me

I Need To Tell Her
03:23
|
|||
|
I fell in love now
But she won’t want me anyway
I'd like to tell her
But I can't find the words to say
I had awhile, and still I didn't say i thing
I don't fit in, at any of her social flings
In the morning
I felt so lonely I could die
I need to tell her
But I can't look her in the eye
I feel so weak, and I just stumble for awhile
I need to speak. I can't return a simple smile
If I hadn't been so scared
Maybe everything would work out fine
But still, my heart had simply flow away
Is it much too late to make her mine?
I should have noticed, that I was running out of time
The day was ending, and still I never told you I'm
In love with you, if I could only find the words
Then would you care? Or just pretend you never heard?
Tell me if you want me now
Or do you ever think of me?
I spend my sleepless nights remembering
Tell me, do you see just what I see?
SOLO
I sit in silence, and watch the pictures in my head
Fade completely. I think it's time to go to bed
I only dream that I can make this sorrow end
I want to scream. Please let me see her once again

Misery
02:47
|
|||
|
Misery has gotten the best of me
Now that I am sure she’s not hanging around
Come the dawn I will wake up and she’ll be gone
Headed on the first train out of town
Yes I know
She’s no good for me
But I know
I’m in misery
All alone, dejected and on my own
Now I know her love will never be found
It’s foregone, my emotions are overdrawn
And I’m not sure if I can ever rebound
Though I know
She’s no good for me
Still I know
I’m in misery
Someday the sun may shine again
Right now I can’t predict just when
<solo>
Yes I know
She’s no good for me
But I know
I’m in misery

The Only Reason Left
02:48
|
|||
|
Everything appears the same
But take a look again
And realize that it’s all changed
Right there before your eyes
The things they criticize
Are the only shreds of comfort in a world gone wrong
The only things that fit and belong
The only reason left to carry on
Keep telling yourself things will come around
Cos history is cyclical
That’s what all the experts found
You might just realize
Right there before your eyes
There is no shred of comfort when it comes around
They’re gonna screw you up
As they screw you down
The only reason left just left town
You’re hanging everything on hanging out and finding your own scene
But now those days are gone and left you without almost everything
Keep telling yourself things will come around
Cos history is cyclical
That’s what all the experts found
You might just realize
Right there before your eyes
There is no shred of comfort when it comes around
They’re gonna screw you up
As they screw you down
The only reason left just left town

Thinking About You
02:35
|
|||
|
I see the light is changing green, and now it's time for me to go
I get the feeling you don't care much about it
My head is cloudy and my eyes are seeing raindrops form and now
I'm lost and feeling low, because I still love you.
And my thoughts are going mad
curse my life cuz I feel sad
And I hide myself in sleep at night, to stop thinking about you.
Of all the loves I could forget you're the one that had to go
And carve your name into the walls of my memories
I strangle minutes and I murder every hour that passes by
And wait for time to take my mind and let me be
And I don't know what to say
That could bring you back my way
So I tell myself that I'm alright, but that is just a lie
And my thoughts are spinning fast
Hide my face until it’s passed.
And I cry myself to sleep at night from thinking about you
<SOLO>
I curse the angels that allowed your life to slip away from mine
Without the chance to let you know what I'm feeling
I fill my days with poor distractions just to keep me occupied
With futile hopes that I'll forget that you were here.
And my heart has gone insane
Take a pill to numb the pain
I still want the love that I have lost, but I can't say goodbye
And my thoughts are going mad
Pound my brain ‘til I feel glad
Cuz I cry myself to sleep at night, from thinking about you.

This Bad Dream
02:52
|
|||
|
Fight this fit of passion
Anger only brings me down
Hold my head for ransom
While emotions run abound
Red’s the only thing I see
When you get the best of me
You always run me in the ground
It’s welling up inside my head
Remembering the things you said
You know you always bring me down
So go away wake me up from this bad dream
This isn’t how two people oughta live
Not much to say don’t you know it’s a bad scene
This love takes much more than we can give
We can give
All the things we swore to
I hope they never will come true
You hate me, I abhor you
And there’s nothing we can do
Sometimes I wonder what went wrong
We’ve been together for so long
It all exploded suddenly
Now every talk is just a fight
Don’t think we’ll ever put it right
But I guess that’s the way it’ll be
So go away wake me up from this bad dream
This isn’t how two people oughta live
Not much to say don’t you know it’s a bad scene
This love takes much more than we can give
We can give all we want
We can take all our time
We can give all we’ve got
With no reason or rhyme
But everything’s nothing
When there’s nothing there
And life starts to look
Just like an empty stare
So go away wake me up from this bad dream
This isn’t how two people oughta live
Not much to say don’t you know it’s a bad scene
This love takes much more than we can give

She Thinks Of Everything
03:37
|
|||
|
She thinks of everything
So why can’t I see it?
She tells me anything
So why don’t I feel it?
She thinks of everything in Technicolor
Never black and grey
She thinks of everything
But everything seems to stand in my way
She has been everywhere
And I can’t believe it
She knows when I’m not there
But I can’t receive it
She thinks of everything in Technicolor
Never black and grey
She thinks of everything
But everything seems to stand in my way
I can’t tell you what I find
All I know is she keeps moving objects in my mind
<solo>
She thinks of everything
So why can’t I see it?
She tells me anything
So why don’t I feel it?
She thinks of everything in Technicolor
Never black and grey
She thinks of everything
But everything seems to stand in my way

All Of Your Lies
02:36
|
|||
|
Oh please let me beat myself up once more
I don’t think I could ever feel guilty enough
Call up all of your friends tell ‘em all I’m a bore
Tell ‘em how you thought I treated you rough
Yeah tell me once again
Let me see the anger in your big brown eyes
Tell me once again
Tell me once again
Tell me once again
Tell me once again all of your lies
Call me up crying at a quarter to two,
You say you’re all alone you’ve got nothing to do
You can’t believe I left you when you needed me
If that’s what you call it, I’m glad I’m free
Yeah tell me once again
Let me see the anger in your big brown eyes
Tell me once again
Tell me once again
Tell me once again
Tell me once again all of your lies
You want to play upon my sympathy
You always try to make me feel guilty
I won’t buy your story and I’ll tell you why
You control, manipulate, and you lie
Yeah tell me once again
Let me see the anger in your big brown eyes
Tell me once again
Tell me once again
Tell me once again
Tell me once again all of your lies

The Truth
02:46
|
|||
|
I find it strange
The sense of change
That’s taken place inside my brain
The things I felt
The way I dealt with everything is not the same
The curdled blood
Inside my heart
It made it hard to play the part
I used to see
My lonely me and not the one that could be good
The things I never noticed
Held the key to unlock a troubled mind
I bought the lie so long
You’re born alone, you live, and then you die
But then I realized
I’d always compromised
And never stood the ground I knew was there
I understand
The way it’s planned
They’ll knock you down to be with them
So full of hate, they congregate
And miserable people make miserable friends
Though it’s all new
I know it’s true
And I may fail, but I will try
To keep the faith
And separate all the truth from all the lies

Alone With My Guitar
02:23
|
|||
|
I’m sitting alone with my guitar
I’m wondering who and what you are
An empty room with borrowed faces
A hidden lie with scattered traces of past
A dizzy feeling in my head
Accompanied by the words you said
A promise broken into pieces
A love with debt we still have leases to pay
Say you could forget with me.
I can start anew. You see,
Every rock we threw equals out.
Let’s leave it all.
<Solo / Riff>
A pain that I can’t swallow again
You know I want this stupid medley to end
I’m sitting alone with my guitar
I’m sitting alone with my guitar
I’m sitting alone with my guitar
I’m sitting alone with my guitar

Songs From Another Life
by The Boys With The Perpetual Nervousness

The indie pop on Songs From Another Life sounds confident yet delicate, and the strummy and jangly guitars makes me long for spring. Some songs sound like straight up Teenage Fanclub worship, but in a good way. Fans of The Byrds and Big Star will probably dig this as well.
