Emmie why'd you fall down on your face Yearning for your father's warm embrace? So you learned to follow your Learned to follow in your mother's footsteps Yet spoiled and loved beyond Spoiled and loved beyond the world you knew yet With his present flaws You sink deep in his arms Don't hold it back, don't miss your chance Emmie you have aged beyond your ways You come a foreigner to your father's place Rewind camcorder tapes You sat on his lap and stole his glasses And he fall half asleep Overworked and cycled towards the next week With his present flaws You sink deep in his arms Don't hold it back, don't miss your chance Emmie there are things you wished he'd say A reason or a season that you'd hope he'd stay But work again he goes And takes another flight to California You know that he means well But silence carries words that he couldn't tell And with his present flaws You grip tight his aching palms Don't hold it back, don't miss your chance Don't hold it back, don't miss your chance Don't hold it back, don't miss your chance
