Emily
The Eversons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh Love,
Right from the start
We were old love,
Like we′ve never been parted.
You kissed me,
Your hands down my side to my hips dear,
Shivers and sighs.
All the breathing,
From your mouth through mine,
I got high on
This hunger for one more time.
Lover of mine, when I kissed you
I felt so . . .

Tell this tale to me
Well I won't believe
That I′m already here
Tell this tale to me
No, I won't believe
That we're already here

Oh Love,
You covered my skin
With your eyes as they found me.
I kissed you, danced in your scent,
And fell into a never-ending moment
Of a whisper from your mouth through mine
With those words that gently filled my lungs.
Lover of mine, when I′m with you
I forget how am I to
Be alone living without you,

Spend another day passing by you,
Don′t want to know how it feels if I do.

Tell this tale to me,
No, I won't believe
That I′m already here.
Tell this tale to me,
I won't believe
That we′re already here.

Tell me, this is real.
No, I won't believe.
I won′t believe.
No, I won't believe.




No, I won't believe.
No, I won′t believe.

Overall Meaning

The Eversons's song "Emily" is a love song that describes the intensity of the singer's feelings for his beloved. The opening lines "Oh Love, Right from the start, We were old love, Like we've never been parted" suggest that the couple have known each other a long time and share a deep connection. The imagery of the singer's skin being covered by the beloved's eyes creates a powerful image of intimacy and closeness. The lines "I kiss you, dance in your scent, And fell into a never-ending moment" convey the overwhelming sensation of being fully immersed in the moment and forgetting about everything else.


The chorus "Tell this tale to me, No, I won't believe, That we're already here" suggests that the singer is still in awe that he has found such an intense love, and that he doesn't want this magical moment to end. The repetition of "no, I won't believe" in the final lines seems to convey a sense of disbelief that this level of love and companionship is possible.

Thank you so much for having this up! It was stuck in my head the other day and I couldn’t for the life of me remember the band’s name or some of the exact lyrics.

Brat Wurst

Big Star and all the great pop rock of 70's and 80's. Whoever recorded this did good.

Gabriel Dompieri

What the hell happened with this video? Why did it disappear?

Dylan Garnett

Right?? I have a vivid memory of watching it but then had a hard time finding it again

Chaz Hinkley

Yhe band came under fire for some sexist lyrics and the label dropped them. All their music was taken off spotify

Gabriel Dompieri
