Emerald

Emerald Song Text

Yes, she's... wearing a t-shirt of a band that I don't know, so I pretend
That I'm their number one fan, but she's talking about a song I haven't heard
Oh damn, this isn't going as planned
I grab my drink with a shaking hand, I pretend it's all going fine
But I'm really just thinking if I get another drink, will my card decline?

I don't smoke 'cause I'm broke and I'm scared
That my lungs will break and never be repaired
But tonight I'm a smoker, if that makes you move closer
I gotta win you over, but I'm so not sober

How do I make myself
One you cannot live without, someone you dream about
How do I make myself
One you cannot live without, someone you dream about

I don't know
But I have got to know soon
'Cause I am so into you
You've got that emerald shining through
And I've had brown and I've had blue
But they were different to you
'Cause you've got that emerald shining
You've got that emerald shining through

Now she's talking about a movie that she saw last month and it just so happens to be my favourite one
So I say how did you find it? Said she didn't like it
Oh my, well hey, neither did I
I'll lie – just so I can fit that shape
Even though it just might be a big mistake
How do I make you like me? It isn't very likely
But I'll do what it takes

I don't smoke 'cause I'm broke and I'm scared
That my lungs will break and never be repaired
But tonight I'm a smoker, if that makes you move closer
I gotta win you over, but I'm so totally sober

How do I make myself
One you cannot live without, somebody that you dream about
How do I make myself
One you cannot live without, someone you dream about

I don't know
But I have got to know soon
'Cause I am so into you
You've got that emerald shining through
I've had brown and I've had blue
But they were different to you
You've got that emerald shining
You've got that emerald shining through

Now I'm about to go berserk
When is this plan gonna work?
I don't think I'll ever understand
I try so hard, I don't succeed
I smoke so much and I can barely breathe and now

I need another plan
To make you like me
What is this other plan?
How do I make you like me?
What is this other plan?
How do I make you like me?

I don't know
But I've gotta know soon
Because I am so into you
You've got that emerald shining through
I don't know
But I have got to know soon
'Cause I'm so into you
You've got that emerald shining through

I've had brown and I've had blue
But they were nothing like you
'Cause you've got that emerald shining
You've got that emerald shining through
