Hey pretty
What's on your mind?
Nothing here
An endless night
You're fed up and sick and tired of me My thin-boy voice ruins everything
Oh sweetheart, don't say such things
We don't know, who's listening
Don't talk, don't smile
Just silently walk on by

My Emily says
'Oh Ladd what has she done,
To my darling, innocent boy,
My favourite late night someone'
I wish you were here to kiss me
And scream 'damn it Ladd' I need back
Emily rolls over in bed
And says: 'is it really so bad?'

Hey pretty
Are you secretly sad?
Questions, I dare not ask
Fed up and sick and tired of this
Such simple things I miss
Oh sweetheart, don't say such things
We don't know, who's listening
The only thing that can fill this gap
Is the one who doesn't want me back

My Emily says
'Oh Ladd how long can this last?'
As long as it takes
To get that attention
So safe at last
I wish you were here to hold me
And scream 'damn it Ladd' I need you back
Emily rolls over in bed
And says: 'you don't want that'

So here's my advice to you
This should've turned out different
But it didn't, so get over it
But don't you find it reassuring
That one consolation growing
My darling boy,
It won't snow, where she is going.
