lyrics

Please don't try to take me back this time
There is nothing you can do to make it right
You could tell me everything is just like it was
But you know we cannot get ahead of what's got us feeling so raw

When I tried to get back
All these feelings I had lost
In the wake of all these setbacks
I wanted to shake you off

I hear voice it is carried on
This cold dark wind
And I'd look for you there
But I wouldn't know where to begin

Some people think they own
This path I'm walking on
But you know these paths
They don't come with us
When we're gone

When I tried to get back
These thoughts that I miss all the time
And in the back of my mind
I hear you saying you're doing just fine

I wanted to curl up and die
When you told me you were saying goodbye
All I could do then was cry
Now I don't need you or any of your time

You took a walk
To help you clear your head
Said I wanted to talk
You told me to listen instead

You talked the night away
You talked me right away
You talked me into feeling
I was doing okay

Everything you said
Went right to my head
Your words weaved through my heart
Like a needle and thread

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
