Emily
David Lazarus Lyrics

Wouldn't it be nice
Expressing a longing to find a way to make things better

If we could find our way
Desiring to solve problems and overcome obstacles

Make it all alright
Seeking a sense of resolution and closure

If we had just one more day
Wishing for more time to be with someone

Wrap you in my life
Wanting to include someone in their life on a deeper level

And you'd feel warm everyday
Describing the comfort and safety that comes from being with someone they care about

Oh Emily
Addressing the person they are singing to

And I don't wanna feel the lights
Preferring a more intimate setting with dim lighting

Just wanna hide you away
Feeling protective and wanting to keep someone safe and secure

Hold you right
Describing a desire for physical closeness and intimacy

Your lips press closer to me
Describing a moment of intense intimacy and connection

Just what I'm trying to say is
Preparing to express their true feelings

Just dying to say
Feeling a sense of urgency to express their feelings

I want you everyday
Expressing a desire to be with someone all the time

And I want you and your
Acknowledging the ways in which they admire and care for someone

Beautiful way
Complimenting the person's character and inner beauty

Don't wanna let you go
Expressing a fear of losing someone they care about

No not today
Emphasizing that they want to keep someone close right now

Cause girl uptown tonight, there's a world we can stay
Painting a picture of another place they could be together

This feelings so alright, wish you here everyday
Describing the positive emotions they experience when they are together, and longing for that feeling all the time

Because you're my moonlit love
Describing someone as beautiful and captivating

And the heart of the sea
Comparing the person to the vastness and mystery of the ocean

And you're taking me far, far away from me
Creating a sense of romance and adventure

And, I can feel your love, next to me
Describing the strong emotional connection they feel with someone

You'll still be mine
Reassuring the person that they will always care for them

When we part our ways
Acknowledging that people may need to separate or go their own paths at times

It's only time
Emphasizing that time is the only thing that can separate them

That can keep us away
Asserting that their love will endure despite the passage of time

I want to love you everyday
Expressing a strong desire to continue to care for someone on a daily basis

My Emily
Affectionately addressing the person they are singing to
