Emma, My Dear

Tell all my friends I'm gonna walk into the sea
I read all the spoilers and the ending's not for me
What good is a man with only smoke inside his head
I can't see the shoreline from a hospital bed

Emma, my dear, my hands can't hold you
Like they used to do in a crowded room
When the universe was still brand new
Emma, my dear, there are things I never told you
Draw the curtains closed, count the final dose
And I will save you from the truth

Spent all my time chasing ghosts underground
If I'm gone by the morning they won't haunt this tired house
What good is a man inside a casket on a hill
Spinning in the silence of the lies that he's built

Emma, my dear, my hands can't hold you
Like they used to do in a crowded room
When the universe was still brand new
Emma, my dear, there are things I never told you
Draw the curtains closed, count the final dose
And I will save you from the truth

Devils in the doorway
Debts I'll never repay

Stumbling down through the sand
Unsteady feet, confident plans
I slipped the note under your door
Staring down the horizon line
Unsteady hands, infinite time
I'm sorry I'm forever yours
