Emma told him that she loved him on the walk back home She was barely pushing sixteen, better off alone Blonde and brown eyed innocent smile a whole life to go Mom is angry bed is empty dad is MIA The only teenage twisted dream is wanting to feel safe And on the west side every night he became her saving grace When it rains, it pours There's always more In the middle of the night With his arms around her tight The water leaves her eyes The water starts to dry She tells him she can breathe And he kissed her on the cheek Never let her go Never let her go Emma went out on a weekend To see her favorite band She asked him if he'd go, he said I'd rather just stay in But surely next time he'll be fine Hanging with her friends Conversations out of patience Here they go again Chasing pavement, isolation Beginning of the end Slow resentment Out of heaven Baby just come back to bed When it rains, it pours She's not so sure In the middle of the night With his arms around her tight The water leaves her eyes The water starts to dry She tells him she can't breathe And he kissed her on the cheek He'll never let her go He'll never let her go Emma told him she was worried On the drive back home What if when she's turning forty He's still all she knows? Danny listened with blurry vision Staring at the road Growing up and getting older Has always been with you But I still feel I haven't met me Pushing 22 And God, I love you but God I need to See this feeling through When it rains, it pours She knows for sure In the middle of the night With his arms around her tight The water leaves her eyes Quietly she cries She tells him she can't breathe And he kissed her on the cheek Gotta let her go Gotta let her go Gotta let her go Gotta let her go Gotta let her go Gotta let her go Emma moved into the city Packed her bags alone She told Danny that she'll take him everywhere she goes
