My Name Is Emily

I've been the same since I was in middle school

Punk rock CDs, comic books and breaking all the rules

But the day I turned 16, there was much-unwanted attention

The grown-up world, as I so call it, had some gross intentions

I was just a young girl, and I wanted to make friends

We were playing around with drugs and shit, just trying to make amends

With my fear of missing out, but I was just wasting my time

Addiction will creep up on you, and it caught me in my prime

Sorry, I missed your call, please, leave a message

I'm working on myself right now, and I wanna be progressive

Sorry, I missed your call, please, leave a message

I'm working on myself right now, and I wanna be progressive

I really love The Mountain Goats, I have a tattoo

Of my favorite lyrics' by them, and I think you'd like it, too

"I'll make it through this year," what a lifting phrase

The other day, my mom told me she regrets how I was raised

I'm honestly not sad, I think I'm growing up

And I'm falling in love and getting hurt, and I've got to suck it up

I really love Apes Of The State, they make some awesome tunes

And life is not that bad when you're surrounded by people who love you

Sorry, I missed your call, please, leave a message

I'm working on myself right now, and I wanna be progressive

Sorry, I missed your call, please, leave a message

I'm working on myself right now, and I wanna be progressive

Sorry, I missed your call, please, leave a message

I'm working on myself right now, and I wanna be progressive

Sorry, I missed your call, please, leave a message

I'm working on myself right now, and I think that I'm progressing
