"I wish it was last September

When we could lose ourselves in crowds every day

Cause Emaline don't walk in time

She's not the same, that's all you can say

When I've heard enough,

I tell myself

That we've learned our lesson but I

Don't want to walk away from Emaline

They're talking now

Does she know what they're saying?

She's got the air

To float above and

I'm sinking into

Someone should pay

She's dear to me and so expensive

I'm not talking 'bout money

When money talks I hate to listen

But lately it's been screaming in my ear

When I've heard enough,

I tell myself

That we've learned our lesson but I

Don't want to walk away from Emaline

It only took me one look

To understand Emaline

Sometimes I don't know what she's saying

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't

Know what she's saying

But I know I know

I know what she wants to believe

I wish it was last September

Don't let me walk away from Emaline

For stupid reasons

Now I'm talking 'bout money

When money talks I hate to listen

But lately it's been screaming in my ear

Oh what advice,

Girls need attention

Well are you different than all mine?

For what it's worth,

She's got attention

From people like you

Who see black and white

Now I've heard enough

I'll tell you what

Really shouldn't sit here and whine

I'll take you down to see my Emaline

I wish it was"
