Emmy the Great City Song Lyrics Emmy The Great lyrics

The city called me so I came
It isn't mine to question what it said
I sleep until the point when I'm awake
I walk until there's nothing left to trek

And everyone is looking for an answer
And everyone is waiting for a break
I came and I was bored of it soon after
But I had nowhere to go and so I stayed

I dreamed a lifetime of this place
It seemed an awful thing to waste
Well, the morning fills my mouth up with decay
I like it, it reminds me how you taste

Sometimes I feel you rising up
Behind me like the wind
But I still try to look away

What will you look like when you're old?
(What will you look like when you're old?)
What will I do if I don't know you?
(What will I do if I don't know you?)

I guess that I decided not to ask the day

I took the road down to the city as it called
Sun making silhouettes of gauze
I don't remember you at all

The city called me and I came
It isn't mine to question why
Sometimes the clouds will rise ahead
I hear your name, it's like a choir in the sky

What will you look like when you're old?
(What will you look like when you're old?)
What will I do if I don't know you?
(What will I do if I don't know you?)

I guess that I decided not to know the day
I took the road down to the city as it called
Sun making silhouettes of gauze
I don't remember you at all

They pulled a human from my waist
It had your mouth, it had your face
I would have kept it if I'd stayed
