hey pretty, whats on your mind
nothing here, an endless night
i'm fed up and sick, tired of me
my thin boy voice ruins everything
oh sweetheart, dont say such things
we dont know who's listening
don't talk, don't smile
just silently walk on by

my emily says "oh ladd
what has she done
to my darling innocent boy,
my favorite late night someone"
i wish you were here to kiss me
and scream "damnit ladd i need you back"
emily rolls over in bed and says
"it is really so bad?"

hey pretty are you secretly sad?
questions i dare not ask
i'm fed up and sick, tired of this
such simple things i miss
oh sweetheart dont say such things
we dont know who's listening
the only thing that can fill this gap
is the one who doesn't want me back

my emily says "oh ladd
how long can this last"
as long as it takes to get that attention
so safe at last
i wish you were here to hold me
and scream "damnit ladd i need you back"
emily rolls over in bed and says
"you dont want that"

so heres my advice to you
this shouldve turned out different
but it didnt, so get over it
but dont you find it reassuring
that one consolation growing
my darling boy, it wont snow where she is going.
