A song written for an NMR competition - now re-done and finished. My typical sugary power-pop stuff - will make your teeth ache.

duh...it's about a girl.

Emily

Emily – don’t waste another day
It’s just the way that you feel
When something seems so unreal
To the rest of us
Emily – don’t throw it all away
It’s seems a shame to reveal
what others try to conceal
You’re victorious – you will be victorious

Don’t try to hold it back
When all at once you turn and they attack
You’ll see them in your way
You’ll see them all undone
You’ll see them when they run
They don’t know…

Emily – the time is right today
It wasn’t something you said
That made them all turn their heads
You’re victorious- you will be victorious

A miss is like a mile
I swear I’ll wait a lifetime just to see you smile
Will you remember me?
Will you be someone new
While I wait for you?
I don’t know…

Emily – don’t waste another day
It’s just the way that you feel
When something seems so unreal
To the rest of us
Emily – don’t throw it all away
It’s such a shame to conceal
what others try to reveal
You’re victorious – you will be victorious
