The Warren Brothers - Surviving Emily lyrics

Beyond the cost of diesel fuel and the tearing down of my old high school I still think about her The nation's rising deficit and my fatal crave for cigarettes They all make me think about her My life's one big catastrophe so don't expect too much from me I'm just hanging on, surviving Emily My T-shirt that she always wore Her make-up in the bathroom drawer I can't get away from her Her perfume on my pillow case When I close my eyes, I always see her face Sometimes I wish I were blind My life's one big catastrophe so don't expect too much from me I'm just hanging on, surviving Emily Emily can you hear me I'm callin' out your name Rescue me from these lonely days and sleepless nights They're driving me insane I tried to stop this endless search Even started going back to church But I still feel the same and my friends all say I'm doing fine It's just gonna take a little time Yeah, nothing's changed My life's one big catastrophe So don't expect too much from me I'm just hanging on Surviving Just hanging on Surviving I'm barely hanging on Surviving Emily
