Emma, the demons are real
Bobby was right about everything
I never lied to you
I never told you the truth
Remember when we went to the sea?
And I disappeared
No one was watching
It was just me
A triumph of geography
And I hid under the boardwalk
Waited for the tide to come in
I've been known to sleepwalk
Been known to throw the towel in
Into the sea
It left us an ocean apart
That night as I walked back in the dark
You looked right into me
And there was nothing to see
Oh, Emma the demons are real
I should know, they're in me
It sounds like a choir
My head is on fire, honey
And I hid out on the sidewalk
And I stared out at the emptiness
I know all these quiet houses
I know the trouble in them
I cannot feel the spirit
I cannot feel the wind
Emma, you never knew me
You just thought you did
