Yellow Lights

(album: Emily Can't Sing - 2021)

The tourists are gone so we can go out
We all get along when no one's around
I'm poured up, rains falling down
You know it's me, just by the sound

Over and over, it's always the same
We're in all of the pictures and none of the frames
I'll go outside and make all this ok
Wait in the car for a while
[?]

I stop at all of the yellow lights
'Cause I can't afford to run red, not tonight
I come home late, but I come home to you
The sun's coming out, but the night isn't quite through

Over and over, it's always the same
We're in all of the pictures and none of the frames
I'll go inside and make all this ok
Wait in the car for a while
[?]

[?] keeps spoons in the freezer to put on her eyes
Spins a web 'round her head before bed to catch all the flies
All her friends keep getting married, one by one
She says, soon they'll all start having babies and stop having fun
But she'll always come running right back
Just like before
