Lyrics Emmy the Great

Emmy the Great

Somerset

All the greats, all the masterworks

On your desk, let them go a while

And come outside, let's talk about

Something that's real, like

Please don't get over me

Cuz I've heard that you met someone

What's her name? What's she like to love?

And I guess that this is coming late in the day

But please don't get over me

F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tennessee Williams

Come on, let's talk about something different

Tell me you're sorry, I'll say I'm sorry too

Becuz I can't get over you

Tadada-tadada-dada-dada

Tadada-tadada-dada-dada

I can't get over...

Tennessee Williams, Somerset Maugham

I don't care about all that

Classical records, diamonds so cheap

I don't care about all that

Just tell me you're sorry

I'll say I'm sorry too cuz you're destined

I didn't come to you, now I can't get over

All the greats on your reading list

Kept you safe through the hours I've missed

Are they enough for you now that

I've set you free? Please don't get over me

Please don't get over me
