“Emily I’m Sorry” lyrics:

She’s asleep in the backseat
looking peaceful enough to me,
but she’s waking up inside a dream
full of screeching tires and fire.
We’re coming back from where no one lives,
pretty much just veterans.
When I pointed out where the north star is,
she called me a fucking liar.

Emily, I’m sorry I just
make it up as I go along
and I can feel myself becoming
someone only you could want.

Headed straight for the concrete
in a nightmare screaming.
Now I’m wide awake, spiraling,
and you don’t want to talk.
Just take me back to Montreal.
I’ll get a real job, you’ll go back to school.
We can burn out in the freezing cold
and just get lost.

Emily, I’m sorry, baby.
You know how I get when I’m wrong
and I can feel myself becoming
somebody I’m not, I’m not so-

Emily, forgive me, can we
make it up as we go along?
I’m twenty seven and I don’t who I am
but I know what I want.

Emily, I’m sorry.
Emily, I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.

I am a 62 yr old Irish woman who came across this band accidentally on You Tube while searching for something to watch. I have listened to 5 tracks & I am now a fan. Cant wait to listen to more from these fabulous Ladies

[mavis]

the "emily im sorry BABY" (1:52) is a literal eargasm. it sounds so good...

[mishi]

I'm so glad more and more songs are finally coming out in the 2020's that aren't always about the dynamics between a straight relationship.

[allaboutlgbthings]

Oh my gosh, Phoebe writing and singing about a girl (and quite possibly her ex girlfriend, Emily). Damn, it's so good, I wanna cry 😭

[kippokid]

never heard of Boygenius until 10 min ago. Read a Pitch fork article and listened to this which was linked. I'm blow away, what a beautiful song, stunning. I'm now a fan

[twh]

"Emily, I’m sorry I just
make it up as I go along,
yet I can feel myself becoming
someone only you could want."

They just always deliver these gorgeously incisive lyrics... Wow, What a joyous and emotional day!!

[blvcksofty]

Screaming, crying, kicking, this is perfect

[joydoesvids]

such a time to be alive, at the same time as new boygenius music.

[george.psy]

i love how in ICU she says "i don't know what i want until i fuck it up" and then here she says "i don't know who i am but i know what i want"

[spencersuen]

the harmonies starting @0:40 are nothing short of.... genius

[edenrainll]

Her writing is so beauty ( literally and on page)

[thomasconboy]

Phoebe Bridgers is a force majeur in her own right, but the synergy here is electrifying. I'm in love!

[SethTaylor]

Never heard anyone say "fucking liar" with more grace.

[TB-filf]

what a blessed day, the girlies are back together and making us all cry again

[posthumangelica]

this song is so beautiful & reminds me of my fiancé, emily. she’s been obsessed with phoebe & boygenius since last year, i immediately was too. phoebe, lucy, & julien’s music has gotten my fiancé through the most toughest times of her life (graduating high school, family issues, etc). i wish i could tell them, especially phoebe how important & precious they are to her & to me. & also thank them for making music that truly has saved so many people’s lives including mine & my fiancé’s <3

[islab]

Every time Phoebe in particular writes or sings something, I always feel like it's something someone I would fall for would write to someone like me. Soooo many of her lyrics feel like this, and this song feels like yet another page from my own personal would-be lovers' diary addressed to me.

[emmik]

What a time to be alive for people named Emily (it’s me, I’m people)

[bloomtilltheend]

MY WHOLE WEEK HAS BEEN MADE GUYS THIS MEANS TOUR

I had no idea Julien Baker was in a band, I didn't know all these people knew each other this well! This is awesome
