Surviving Emily Lyrics - Warren Brothers

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 

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 

Oh yeah, northing's changed 

My life's one big catastrophe 

So don't expect too much from me 

I'm just hangin' on, surviving Emily 

Just hangin' on, surviving Emily 

I'm really hangin' on, surviving Emily 

Yeah, yeah, yeah 

I'm really hangin' on, surviving Emily 

Yeah, yeah, yeah 

I'm really hangin' on, surviving Emily, oh yeah
