Call Me Emily

Colored smoke and purple skies
Slightly cold midsummer nights
I was losing count of the days
That I had been all on my own

Just like on movie sets
Emerging from a silhouette
You appeared so graciously
And sent chemicals straight to my core

Diamonds and pearls
Don’t shine as bright as you do
You look like art
With your peculiar tattoos

Under the moon I
Found myself beside you
You looked at me and you said

Call me Emily
Come and have this dance with me
And when it’s just the two of us
This night will be heavenly

Right now I’ll be fully yours
And I’ll leave you this memory
Cause in the morning when I’m gone
That’s all that we’ll ever be

Fulfilling my desire
With sweetness in the wildest fire
I know we said farewell for now

But maybe you will cross my mind
Every year around July
Just to remind me of how

Diamonds and pearls
Don’t shine as bright as you do
You look like art

With your peculiar tattoos

Under the moon I
Found myself beside you
You looked at me and you said

Call me Emily
Come and have this dance with me
And when it’s just the two of us
This night will be heavenly

Right now I’ll be fully yours
And I’ll leave you this memory
Cause in the morning when
I’m gone That’s all that we’ll ever be
