Emaline Lyrics - Ben Folds

I wish it was last September 

When we could lose ourselves in crowds every day 

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 want to walk away from Emaline 

They're talking now 

Does she know what they're saying? 

She's got the air 

To float above and 

I'm sinking into 

Someone should pay 

She's dear to me and so expensive 

I'm not talking 'bout money 

When money talks I hate to listen 

But lately it's been screaming in my ear 

[Chorus] 

It only took me one look 

To understand Emaline 

Sometimes 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 

I wish it was last September 

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 

Oh what advice, 

Girls need attention 

Well are you different than all mine? 

For what it's worth, 

She's got attention 

From people like you 

Who see black and white 

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 

I wish it was
