EMMA

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
