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 and 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 favourite 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, 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

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
