【Emily Yacina】Abi's House, Philadelphia,

As We Go

I try to understand

what everyone is telling me

I hold it in my hand

'cause it could end so easily

I've got this silly fear

that everything is leaving me

I want to stay right here

and look out over eveything

Even though

I lack control

I grab on to you

you make me whole

So unclear it's hard to tell

what's ahead and what works well

Just forget what you know

we'll make it up as we go

I try to open up

so you can see what's going on

I haven't had enough

I know that it's just begun

I try to keep it there

too soon I know it will be gone

So unclear it's hard to tell

what's ahead and what works well

Just forget what you know

we'll make it up as we go

Breathe

You held it too close

it needs space to breathe

That's what it needs most

go let it be free

You thought something else

I began to cry

You held me too close

I didn't know why

Flood

I've got all this time

But I forgot to shut the door again

I guess that explains why

My heart just let you in

Just don't stomp around and crush me down

'Cause I'm already small

as it is

I've been thinking a lot

How things never seem to fall in place

I'm staring at a wall

But all I really want is to see your face

My street flooded the other day

And I watched all those thoughts

Wash away

Wash away

Float on down

It's okay

It's not supposed to make perfect sense

anyway

Dark Blue

I wanna be a part of that

I wanna be a part of you

I wanna be a part of that

I wanna be a part of you

Just tell me what I have to do

It's for you

It's for you

It's dark blue

I wanna hold it close to me

Why does it have to leave so soon?

I close my eyes it's all I see

I don't know what else to do

It's true

It's for you

It's all for you

It's dark blue

Your Girl

Soft sproken, move gently

look up and tell me a story

Swim through the breathing, absorb me

we'll both pretend that we're sleeping

I'm your girl

I fell pretty hard into daylight

they said you put up a big fight

I try to tell you I'm alright

but you won't stop holding me so tight cause

I'm your girl

I can't tell you the bad news

you look so peaceful, you don't move

you know I don't want to hurt you

you know I just wanna tell you

I'm your girl

I Like You Here

Door swings open, I hear you come in

light leaks through, soaks into my skin

 

You bring the morning

inside for me

you bring the good things

back home to me

 

It's been a long while, I thought you disappeared

you should know that I like you here

It feels good when you waste my time

you should know that I don't mind

 

You bring the morning

inside for me

you bring the good things

back home to me

 

When the day is done and you have closed the door

the light follows you home and my skin longs for more

and even when the shadows stain the floor

i'll remember what you always swore

 

You'll come back home to me
