Get to know musician Emery Major's song lyrics from his very official "official lyric page".
//Verse 1//
I feel like a failure
My mind is like a jailor
Keeping me locked away
Keeping me locked
My dreams are outrageous
And I’ll never attain them
I should stay down to Earth
I should stay down
//Chorus//
But I’ve known joy and this wondrous world
I’ve grown up in will make it through
And I think it gives our lives meaning
So it’s…
Okay to be sad
//Verse 2//
I miss my mom and dad
Feels like it’s been years
Since I’ve been home sweet home
Since I’ve been home
The world’s been courageous
Despite all it faces
Still I feel lost and scared
Still I feel lost
//Chorus//
I miss my mom and dad
Feels like it’s been years
Since I’ve been home sweet home
Since I’ve been home!
//Final Chorus x2//
It's okay to be sad
UNION SQUARE PARK
//Verse//
That night you told me that you loved me on the L train
And you kissed me on my roommates couch
Thinkin' this could be the night that it will all change
For the rest of my life you might be around
So I took you to my roof to see Manhattan
Saw your eyes light up just like that city sky
I was overwhelmed with fear of what could happen
But I’d be damned if I wouldn’t give it my best try
//Chorus//
Meet me in Union Square Park
No one else is there after dark
We could run and scream and love and dream
And speak true from the heart
Meet me there in Union Square Park
//Verse 2//
I feel like I’m a runaway from who I once was
I like this version of me with you the best of all
Nights before you were as cold New York winter
Now my life is more like New York spring or fall
//Chorus//
​
//Bridge//
The bar that’s in the laundromat
Don’t know how they managed that
A Variety of coffee strong and bold
Things that once were commonplace
Because of you that old rat race
Is now something special to behold
Meet me in Union Square Park
No one else is there after dark
We could run and scream and love and dream
And speak true from the heart
Meet me there in Union Square
Meet me there in Union Square
Meet me there in Union Square Park
Golden Girl
//Verse//
Every thought in my head
Gets replaced by you instead
All my dreams in the world
Are better with my golden girl
But I’m so scared of the way
You make me sing love song clichés
So I’m waiting for that dreaded day
When you move on and move away
//Chorus//
Cuz I can’t see you waiting for a boy like me
My head is full of fears and insecurities
But I hope you stay, my golden girl
Ba-dum...
//Verse//
Every trip that I plan
Is you and me seeing far off lands
Coast to coast you by my side
A love that’s grown too big to hide
But I have been here before
And lost in all in love and war
So I fight myself on what I truly feel
Denying love so I can heal
//Chorus//
//Bridge//
I’ve built walls high and tall
Around my heart so I won’t fall
But I will work to tear them down
Cuz what’s the point with no one else around
And I’ll meet you on the other side
Where we can fully share our lives
And I won’t live my life in fear
Of the unknown or the unclear
cuz...
Every thought in my head
Gets replaced by you instead
All my dreams in the world
Are better with my golden girl…
So I just hope you’ll stick around for a boy like me
My head is full of fears and insecurities
But I hope, you stay
My golden girl
Ba-dum...
When you have no words, You can talk to me
I know you were scared when you were, seventeen
That’s not the way it has to be
You’ll see the world, the seven seas
Discover things that you’d never dream
You’ll have the wind beneath your feet
//Chorus//
Oh you’ve heard all your life your destiny is unknown
But in time you will find you deserve your throne
And you know I’m with you and with you I’ll stand
Cuz you know that you’ll reach your Neverland
Yes I know you’ll reach your Neverland
When picking up sticks turned to picking up chicks
And all your words lost their innocence
You were lost, but you found your way
You heard the news that your music died
You hid away and you cry cry cried
Then you found your way!
//Chorus//
And I have mem-ry’s like a sweet perfume
And how I wasted summer afternoons
Sometimes are hard but they’re gone so soon
And though our destiny’s unknown
it’s sure that a king deserves a throne
It won’t be long till I’m in neverland
with you
Oh you’ve heard all your life your destiny is unknown
But in time you will find you deserve your throne
And you know I’m with you and with you I’ll stand
Cuz you know that you’ll reach your neverland
Yes I know you’ll reach your neverland
Yes I know that we’ll reach our neverland
Neverland
WARNING SIGNS
//Verse// Baby it's upside down and I'm sorry for calling, but I don't know how I'm supposed to keep on walking.
They say the very thing that makes you will be the very thing that breaks you, and I've been hiding all my thoughts too... that you might have made me.
​
Life is passing by... I've taken many roads to get here. But I don't know why you're always in my rear view mirror now...
​
//Pre Chorus// Pushing the pedal down, my world is spinning out trying to escape from you.
​
//Chorus// But these warning signs keep calling out to me. And I've tried so hard to move on past your street. But these warning signs are not leaving, making me blue... cuz of these warning signs... I keep on turning back to you.
​
//Chorus//
//Chorus//
Feel Like a Kid
//Verse// I feel like a kid today. Like my body doesn't have weight. Scared of looks that I'm gettin' on the subway, a gust of wind nearly blows me away... I feel like a kid today.
Just wanna stay in and cry. Play video games 'till I die. Shadows shaking as I move down the sidewalk, thinkin' probably I'll get mugged on the next block, yeah, I feel like a kid today...
​
//Chorus// But then I see your face and I think about how I just ran away. I was just a kid when I met you and I fell in the first place. These city lights haven't found a way to forgive my mistakes. I was just a kid when I met you and I fell in the first place... and I feel like a kid today.
​
Woah-oh-oh-oh (and I feel like a kid today)
​
//Verse// A survival guide might be nice. A time machine back to 1995. Tell myself to be careful with your love, and there's nothing I should be afraid of.
​
//Chorus//
​
//Bridge// Don't stop me waiting around just killing time, finding out just who I wanna be. Erase the thought of you from my old mind, growing up is slowly killing me...
​
//Chorus// - but starts out all cool and soft and builds up.
Kinda fun.
​
//Cute Outro with piano//
​
See the World
Written & performed by Emery Major, Caraa, Benny Levs
//Verse// Let's go far away to an island's misty shore, 'neath a purple moon we can fall in love some more. Take my heart away, wash it in the way you move, bringing you near me close gonna see the world with you.
​
//Chorus// Ooh-oo-oh say to me that you're thinking the same thing too. On the beach breaking our taboos, taste the ocean air as I breathe in you-ooh- say to me that you're thinkin' the same thing too. Salty skin, sharing our tattoos, bags are packed seeing the world with you-ooh-ooh
​
See the world with you...
​
//Verse// These apartment walls creep closer every day. Wanna take you there but I can't afford a plane... so turn the light out, I see it in the way you smile, let's escape our little world for a while.
​
//Chorus// Ooh-oo-oh say to me that you're thinking the same thing too. Between the sheets breaking out taboos, taste the city air as I breathe in you. Ooh-oo-ooh say to me that you're feeling the same way too. Across the streets and the avenues, staying in tonight seeing the world with you.
​
//Bridge// Let's get away, let's get away, let's get away (ooh say to me)...
​
Get awayyyyyyyyyy (and so forth)
​
//Outro// Ooh-oo-ooh say to me that you're thinking the same thing too... Ooh-oo-ooh say to me that you're feeling the same way too...
​
See the world with you.
Badu
//Verse// I'm trying to find the right words to say to you but I can't seem to work out the best way to convey what I'd like to say so I'll just sing
​
//Chorus// Ba-doo, ba-da-doo, ba-doo, badoo-doo-doo-doo
(probably should have named the song 'Ba-Doo', but alas...
here we are)
​
//Verse// I think that I maybe might really like you and I wanna do many things with you by my side but I know that you don't so I'll just sing
​
//Chorus x2//
​
//Bridge// I might want to say things like I love you, yes, let's have some kids, let's take a trip to Spain, I... want to see things through your own eyes, tell you all the things that I don't confide, you make my soul want to sing out
​
Ay-ay-ay...
​
Cute trumpet solo, amiright?
​
//Verse// So shoot me a text, I would love to hear from you... we could hang out! We could make tiramisu, us on my couch we could kiss....
​
*silence*
​
Or... just sing ba-doo
​
//Chorus x4// - suddenly there's a billion of my closest friends singing at you and that mean's we're totally gonna make this happen cuz that's how 90's Disney Channel told me it would work
