about

Track two on "The Benefits Of A Downhill Paper Round" EP.

lyrics

Emily
You keep confusing me
You find it hard to see the wood for all the trees

You and me
Were just not meant to be
But it's so hard to find perspective on your knees

Oh Emily
You keep confusing me
You find it hard to see the way things really are
Oh Emily
You're just no good for me
Because I'm trapped between the gutter and the stars

Emily
Excuse the irony
But you said sanity was just a state of mind

Chemistry
Can help you find epiphany
To leave that god-forsaken working week behind

Oh Emily
You keep confusing me
You find it hard to see the way things really are
Oh Emily
You're just no good for me
Because I'm trapped between the gutter and the stars

And now you're chewing through your fingernails
Because this is nothing like the fairytales you read
When you were innocence personified
Your life has left you terrified
And life don't owe you nothing girl

Emily
You keep confusing me
You find it hard to see the sand for all the beach

Chemistry
Can help you find epiphany
But all your horoscopes keep slipping out of reach
