lyrics

You wrap it up like it’s a precious thing
You tie it up with string
But I hope it won’t last
Since it’s a piece of someone else’s past

Somebody told me that if I was
Just a little smarter I’d be
With the men upstairs in their suits
Somebody told me that if I was
Just a little taller I’d see
What’s going on in that room
Oooo…

I hear the rain falling hard on the window pane
And everything, stops for a while
I hear your words carried on the drops falling on the ground
And I try not to, remember the sound when

Somebody told me that if I was
Just a little smarter I’d be
With the men upstairs in their suits
Somebody told me that if I was
Just a little taller I’d see
What’s going on in that room
Room…

Words get trapped here deep in my bones
Weighing me down,
They don’t make sense or feel like my own
I’m trying not to hear the sound when…

Somebody told me that if I was
Just a little smarter I’d be
With the men upstairs in their suits
Somebody told me that if I was
Just a little taller I’d see

What’s going on in that room
Ooooo….

Somebody told me that if I was
Just a little smarter I’d be
With the men upstairs in their suits
Somebody told me that if I was
Just a little taller I’d see
What’s going on in that room

Gotta light up the dawn when the dark night
Keeps us from finding our way through the trees
If we don’t fight it then we’ll never be free

Gotta light up the dawn when the dark night
Keeps us from finding our way through the trees
If we don’t fight it then we’ll never be free

Gotta light up the dawn when the dark night
Keeps us from finding our way through the trees
If we don’t fight it then we’ll never be free

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
