you know the emo guy
he's the one standing over there
tattoos up and down the length of his arms
the media says he's punk
but he knows he's not
doesn't really know what that means anyway
when he's singing
he sounds so intense
a confession of sorts
letting us know he feels like we do sometimes
a frown on his brow
a crack in his heart
there's a trick to it
if it's not sincerity
which he assures us it is
makes us feel like he's about to crack
makes us feel like it's all about to explode
makes it sound like his voice is the only thing
keeping it all together
he's the emo guy
the one standing over there
he's not too cool to let the whole world know
that he's not so good alone
that there's no one at home
and that may well be good one day
but right now it's bad
with a frown on his brow
and a crack in his heart
makes us feel like he's about to fall
like it's all about to explode
making it sound like
he's barely keeping it all together
he's the emo guy standing over there.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
