Sixteen
03:23

Don't ask her now, she won't hear what you're saying
She's too far gone, she's done listening
She's a bull on the run through blood red streets
Nostrils flaring and stamping her feet
Sixteen and just like her mother
With the weight of the world on her shoulders
Sixteen and thinks her life is over
Not yet a woman and definitely not a girl
Don't chase her now, you won't catch up to her
She's moving too fast, she's too far ahead
Running scared, she'll fall down hard
Keep the home fires burning until she gets tired
Sixteen and just like her mother
With the weight of the world on her shoulders
Sixteen and thinks her life is over
Not yet a woman and definitely not a girl
Nobody said it would be easy
But nobody said it would be this hard
She's throwing punches every which way
Everything is different, she's no longer omnipotent
And nobody understands
Sixteen and just like her mother
With the weight of the world on her shoulders
Sixteen and thinks her life is over
Not yet a woman and definitely not a girl
Hitting everyone she ever loved

If He Can't Have It All
04:17

He's a traveling man, he writes songs for a living
Though he wouldn't put it that way, he gets by anyway
He looks for an audience, a place to fit in
In an industry just looking for the next big thing
And so he leaves his only home
Driving a car that's just on loan
Just a guitar to call his own
What will he have if he can't have it all?
What will he have if he can't have it all?
He says he's leaving, she says don't come back again
Because I'm tired of saying goodbye, I'm giving up this time
He says I'm sorry, she says I'm sorry too
Because I know what you're searching for don't exist in this world
And so he leaves his only home
Driving a car that's just on loan
Just a guitar to call his own
And what will he have if he can't have it all?
What will he have if he can't have it all?
What will he have if he can't have it all?
Twenty years later and still no record deal
But he's still writing songs on that old guitar
Every town a new line on his face
Singing songs of leaving
Singing songs of loneliness
Singing songs of lost love
What will he have if he can't have it all?
What will he have if he can't have it all?
What will he have if he can't have it all?
What will he have if he can't have it all?

Counting Sheep
03:58
|

You and me ain't got nowhere to be
So we'll just keep counting these sheep until we fall asleep
You still don't know everything about me
Every curve of my body or how I wrinkle the sheets
And I still don't know you
But I know that I want to
All these things I can't explain
But I know are true
Every time I learn something new
You know I'm not surprised, it just makes me love you
Maybe one day we'll live in a boat on the Thames
The shores will be our fences and things will make sense
Your world and mine will intertwine
You'll learn how to cry and I'll appreciate red wine
And I still don't know you
But I know that I want to
All these things I can't explain
But I know are true
Every time I learn something new
You know I'm not surprised, it just makes me love you
And maybe we'll take a train down to France or Spain
Sipping on Mohito's or grand Cafe Creme
Maybe we'll never come home again
You know you just never know what might happen
And I still don't know you
But I know that I want to
All these things I can't explain
But I know are true
Every time I learn something new
You know I'm not surprised, it just makes me love you

Emma's new album
takes a deep dive into the nooks &
crannies, and under the radar experiences of (mostly) women who are in the time of their life when their own personal identity is often tangled up with those around them.
