She's asleep in the back seat
Looking peaceful enough to me
But she's waking up inside a dream
Full of screeching tires and fire
We're coming back from where no one lives
Pretty much just veterans
When I pointed out where the North Star is
She called me a fucking liar
Emily, I'm sorry, I just (Emily, I)
Make it up as I go along
And I can feel myself becoming (I can feel it)
Someone only you could want
♪
Headed straight for the concrete
In a nightmare, screaming
Now I'm wide awake, spiraling
And you don't wanna talk
Just take me back to Montreal
I'll get a real job, you'll go back to school
We can burn out in the freezing cold
And just get lost

Emily, I'm sorry, baby (Emily, I)
You know how I get when I'm wrong (you know how I get)
And I can feel myself becoming (I can feel it)
Somebody I'm not, I'm not, so
Emily, forgive me, can we (Emily, I)
Make it up as we go along?
(I'm) I'm 27 and I don't know who I am (don't know who I am)
But I know what I want

Emily, I'm sorry
Emily, I'm sorry

I'm sorry
