Beautiful Emma

[Verse 1]
You laugh
I forget
Every reason I said I'd move on
Then you sigh
You go quiet
And I'm right back guessing what's wrong
You touch my hand
It feels like I belong
Then you pull away
And I'm wondering what I did wrong
[Chorus]
Beautiful Emma
You’re my favorite kind of pain
You’re the storm and the shelter
Sunshine tangled up in rain
I keep falling
Falling
Even when it hurts this way
Beautiful Emma
I love you
More than I can say (oh)
[Verse 2]
You call in the night
Tell me how you hate being alone
But then in the daylight
You treat me like we’re strangers again
One minute I’m yours
Next minute I’m just a friend
I swear I should leave
But I’d run back if you called at 10
[Chorus]
Beautiful Emma
You’re my favorite kind of pain
You’re the storm and the shelter
Sunshine tangled up in rain
I keep falling
Falling
Even when it hurts this way
Beautiful Emma
I love you
More than I can say
[Bridge]
Up and down
Like a ride I can’t get off of (yeah)
Screaming inside
While I smile every time that you call
If loving you
Is a lesson I ain’t learned at all
I’ll take every rise
Every crash
If it means I still get to fall
[Chorus]
Beautiful Emma
You’re my favorite kind of pain
You’re the storm and the shelter
Sunshine tangled up in rain
I keep falling
Falling
Even when it hurts this way
Beautiful Emma
I love you
More than I can say (more than I can say)
Beautiful Emma
I’d still choose you
Every single day

Subtle rimshot groove and warm bass, with occasional falsetto touches on key words. Final chorus swells with ad-libs and reverb tails for a bittersweet, cinematic fade., r&b, beautiful
