Emmy the Great City Song song 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.
