lyrics

Couldn't find my way back
Couldn't get myself on track
I was running like a freight train,
Fallin' off the rails I crashed, to the sea

Couldn't find my way home
Gave up all I'd ever owned
I was a sinking stone falling below the horizon
I was falling slow

Da da da da dom da
Da dum da da dum da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da dum da da dum da

Nothing' I could do, no matter how hard I tried
I couldn't keep from falling out of your life
Nothing' I could say, no matter how hard I tried
Day by day, I fell out of your life

Tried to make it right,
Tried to put up a fight,
But the tighter I held on
The farther I slipped way
And you were already gone

So many sleepless nights
Walking icy sidewalks at midnight
With the falling of my feet
And every passing street I guess I was
Leaving you too

Da da da da dom da
Da dum da da dum da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da dum da da dum da

I wanted you to see that I was standing here
I wanted you to see that I was standing here
I wanted you to see that I was standing here
I wanted you to see that I was standing here
I wanted you to see that I was standing here
I wanted you to see that I was standing here

I wanted you to try and keep me there in your life

Emily Best Vancouver, British Columbia

A singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Vancouver B.C., Emily Best’s distinctive melodies and orchestral leanings paint a backdrop that intermingles the driving energy of jazz and rock with the familiar nostalgia of 1960's southern country-soul. Her songwriting delves unassumingly through jazz, pop, folk and rock with earnest lyricism that ponders the human condition. ... more
