about

For Emma, forever ago.

lyrics

We had a silly pillow fight
and a feather landed on my nose
through my eyes you looked like an angel
I thought I might have croaked

And I tell you that this could be heaven
with the room such a cluttered mess
your shoulders release their tension
as we collapse into the bed

Oh Emma

I had to leave a few days later
make my way down to washington state
I wanted to see the nation
but at the boarder I was turned away

And I tell you that this could be heaven
turned away from the land of the free
it feels like it could be important
but I have no time for irony

Oh Emma

I thought I wanted somebody
I thought I wanted some company
but what I needed was solidarity
oh Emma, what I needed was me

We had a silly pillow fight
and a feather landed on my nose
through my eyes you looked like an angel
I thought I might have croaked
