Emery - In A Win, Win Situation Lyrics






I've noticed your design
Cause I'm not blind
I'm like a cigarette
Burning burning every night
But there's no ash that falls
There's only telephone calls in the afternoon
Stretching through a thousand walls

So I'll pray
For words to say
To make these miles disappear

If you can't sleep alone (If you can't sleep alone)
I'm better off
I'm better off
If you can't sleep alone

If you're measuring with time
In seconds or in lifetimes
There's no difference
It's constantly just passing by
But there's nothing at all
No valium or slow songs
To relax my view
Just you, maybe your new perfume

So I'll pray
For words to say
To make these miles disappear

If you can't sleep alone (if you can't sleep alone)
I'm better off
I'm better off
If you can't hear the song (if you can't hear the song)
Then turn it off
Then turn if off
If you cast that first stone
Then throw them all
Then throw them all

I start to sleep but it's not over
The second hand is moving slower now
I'd take it all back
To start over again
Just between the rock and paper
The scissors cut in so much deeper
I'd take it all back
To start over again

Emery In A Win, Win Situation Comments
  1. s.... ....

    I wish they would make a longer version of that song at the end!!!!!!!!

  2. J.... R....

    After all these years, this album is still sick. My favorite by far. Such a great blend.

  3. m.... ....

    This was my very first song by Emery. ❤️

  4. L.... ....

    Still loving the heck out of this song in 2019

  5. S.... O....

    Incredible

  6. B.... ....

    Favorite. Emery. Song.

  7. G.... R....

    Don't get me wrong, I love Emery and have been with them since the weaks end but even after so many years I still think that the sound at the end before the outro sounds like someone's having sex in an old bed...

  8. J.... B....

    Why is Emery so good? Fuck if I know. I won't cry during this song.

    J.... B....

    I know I will. The subject matter is so personal to me that I can't keeo it in and end up bawling :(

  9. B.... O....

    Most underrated band ever , EMERY YOU GUYS ARE STILL THE BEST!

  10. B.... M....

    I wonder if - in my lifetime - I will ever find more music that will bring that sense of nostalgia back...

    B.... M....

    Brian, Emery definitely is one of those bands for me. I'd say taking back Sunday, The Used, Brand New. I saw this as a generalization because of course there are a few acceptions out there but I feel like the 2005/6 is when music died. So sad you don't see these great bands anymore

  11. I.... H....

    Is this song about cheating? I'm not a native english speaker, sorry

    I.... H....

    Isaias Hyperthunder It's more like a man who is away from the woman he loves, due to business or deployment. The ending with the female singer seems to point to him being away for yet another year.

  12. U.... ....

    Never gets old, my fav from them.

    U.... ....

    I think it's my favorite from them as well...

  13. K.... P....

    This is just AMAZING!

  14. A.... B....

    I can't wait to see them play this November 12th Atlanta!!

  15. N.... J....

    gotta hold back tears on this one...

  16. S.... ....

    One of the best Emery's song!!!

  17. T.... R....

    For those who claim they see nothing in this song relating to their faith, that's because none of their songs really directly tackle the subject of faith. They believe that relationships build everything. If I remember correctly this song was written about his wife.

  18. T.... ....

    For the past week this song has been in my head non-stop...

  19. C.... M....

    That is a lady singing at the end, her name is Melanie Studley. She is listed in the credits on the album.

  20. R.... J....

    nice - i was just listening to Porcupine Tree Sentimental

  21. C.... ....

    No problem! Great band :)

  22. T.... D....

    Didn't catch that one. Thank you for that!

  23. K.... ....

    this song brings back so many memories ... helps you feel the most of the memories ..

  24. L.... H....

    great song for driving. my favorite off this album. I absolutely love it. makes it easier to feel less alone. thanks for posting and thanks to Emery for a beautiful song.

  25. R.... ....

    The first time I heard this song and 4:29 came around I just started crying and shuddering so hard and it wouldn't stop. I didn't know why, and I didn't care, and you know what? I still don't. This touched me in a way that's beyond my human comprehension of feeling- Emery is life.

  26. C.... Y....

    THATS AWESOME

  27. D.... L....

    Man, this brings me back to high school

  28. s.... ....

    Sadly memories

  29. j.... s....

    dang.... this brings back so many memories

  30. L.... N....

    sweet song!

  31. a.... ....

    weird?

  32. J.... ....

    It's the best part of the song and of all the other songs! :D

  33. v.... ....

    I've been listening to this album for 6 years and I didn't know that.
    It makes so much more SENSE now!
    :D

  34. o.... ....

    Oh to be a teenager again... great memorys with this band.

  35. M.... ....

    thanks for the insight!

  36. C.... ....

    Incase anyone doesn't know, the basis of the album name was to ask the question, "Where were you when I was..." then add the song title, for instance, 'Where were you when I was listening to Freddie Mercury."

    C.... ....

    CtrainMusic yeah I wondered "well what's the question" for a while til I took a better look at the album's case, which does have that on it

    C.... ....

    Omg my mind is blown

  37. C.... ....

    back when I used to buy CD's lol.. this was a good one

  38. K.... K....

    Because we accepted Jesus whom the world rejected.....:)

  39. A.... B....

    that's my favorite line, too! Their metaphors are incredible, Emery never fails to amaze me. (=

  40. R.... ....

    nice vid

  41. B.... J....

    @MacAr7huR Don't know what Jesus has to do with this song, however, this song is awesome.

  42. A.... ....

    And I'll stay here.
    You'll be gone for another year.
    Plans that I've made are falling on deaf ears.
    I'm beside myself now that you have gone
    I'm beside myself now that you have gone

    Chills man, chills...

  43. R.... D....

    Saw these guys live in Chattanooga, TN. It was AMAZING!!! :)

  44. A.... ....

    @yoopy2 I think it perfectly sums up the mood the album was trying to create.

  45. �.... ....

    pretty much only decent song they have done. everything else is kind of... weird?

  46. K.... C....

    Ok, after doing some research, the woman at the end is Melanie Studley. If you don't believe me, Google it. :]

  47. M.... ....

    @xDearestXValentinex thanks for the scripture! may God bless you!

  48. j.... ....

    they should make 4:29 its own song

  49. M.... ....

    @horetsoti1 Jesus said that the world would hate us....:)

  50. D.... N....

    Don't get why this band's so unpopular. Like honestly.. No dislikes, so talented, great lyrics that give a meaning, and so much dedication.

  51. D.... G....

    @GladiatorGladiator pretty sure it's devin singing in falsetto/head voice. it doesn't really sound like a girl.

  52. D.... R....

    0 dislikes and thats the way it should stay and if there someone who dislike the video then just keep ur negative thoughts to ur self and just dont watch the video as simple as that

  53. R.... R....

    I want the ending song by itself. It's sooo pretty!

  54. G.... ....

    @yoopy2 does anyone know who the girl singing is?

  55. D.... W....

    One of the most AWESOME songs by EMERY!!!

  56. H.... ....

    dis is my issssh!!

  57. a.... a....

    4:29
    most amazing thing emery ever done with their song

  58. L.... F....

    This song is awesome.... i love emery

  59. c.... ....
