minding my own business checking my email. i've heard of this before but only from some guys in jail. her message says it'd be nice for us to get together. i hope we'll have much more to talk about than the weather.

emily, emily, how the heck have you been? emily, emily, its so nice to see you again. emily, emily, i hope this will never end. emily, emily, i hope we'll always be at least friends.

sitting at home staring out of the window, sipping cocoa, watching the falling snow. i've half a mind to pick up this stupid phone, call you up and relieve this feeling of being alone.

emily, emily, how the heck have you been? emily, emily, its so nice to see you again. emily, emily, i hope this will never end. emily, emily, i hope we'll always be at least friends.

we sometimes sit here and reminisce about the things at home we always wished we missed. time flies by until once again it's time to go back to our other friends.

emily, emily, how the heck have you been? emily, emily, its so nice to see you again. emily, emily, i hope this will never end. emily, emily, i hope we'll always be at least friends.

there's something wonderful that happens when you can say that you have found a great person to share time with. my pal emily is something wonderful. to be cliché, i've never really felt this way before around a girl. it's like i can be simultaneously friends and more than that with her. it's hard to describe. it's even harder to think about how i only have about nine months more to share with her. i don't even consider us not making it to the end of the nine months, but after that time, she will steadily move farther away and i'm not sure the distance will do us good. the hopes in this song may be just another futile dream.
