Took off our ties
Straight after school
For lager and limes
Shooting pool
Underhand cigarettes
To compilation cassettes
Now that those days are over
I wish I'd done more to know her
But I was much too caught up with myself
to bother looking back
So I didn't see that Emily was slipping through the cracks
There was a club and we would go
Cutting the rug in junk shop clothes
Yeah we looked pretty fab
falling out of a cab
Now that those days are over
I wish I'd done more to know her
I was much too caught up with myself
to bother looking back
So I didn't see that Emily was slipping through the cracks
Summer went by
she moved around
I know that she tried
to settle down
But playing telephone tag
can be a bit of a drag
Now that those days are over
I wish I'd done more to know her
But I was much too caught up with myself
to bother looking back
So I didn't see that Emily was slipping
through the cracks
