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
