Nathan Vincent - Emmie Lyrics

Emmie why'd you fall down on your face
Yearning for your father's warm embrace?
So you learned to follow your
Learned to follow in your mother's footsteps
Yet spoiled and loved beyond
Spoiled and loved beyond the world you knew yet

With his present flaws
You sink deep in his arms
Don't hold it back, don't miss your chance

Emmie you have aged beyond your ways
You come a foreigner to your father's place
Rewind camcorder tapes
You sat on his lap and stole his glasses
And he fall half asleep
Overworked and cycled towards the next week

With his present flaws
You sink deep in his arms
Don't hold it back, don't miss your chance

Emmie there are things you wished he'd say
A reason or a season that you'd hope he'd stay
But work again he goes
And takes another flight to California
You know that he means well
But silence carries words that he couldn't tell

And with his present flaws
You grip tight his aching palms
Don't hold it back, don't miss your chance
Don't hold it back, don't miss your chance
Don't hold it back, don't miss your chance
