I touched your lips with my fingertips Oh baby, oh baby I never use that word but it fits so well for you If I hadn't left, would you have brought me to your bed? Oh baby, oh baby I often take things fast but with you, I'd make it last But life is cruel and life is bleak when there are miles and miles separating two kisses on the cheek Life is so cruel, life is so bleak when there are miles and miles separating you and me You touched my hips with your fingertips Oh baby, oh baby Even when it rains, you never look away And if I drop by again this year, Oh baby, oh baby Will you want me there? But life is cruel and life is bleak and it's so confusing how someone can mean this much to me Life is so cruel, life is so bleak I did not think I'd enter into some kind of fantasy But life is cruel and life is bleak when there are miles and miles separating two kisses on the cheek Life is so cruel, life is so bleak when there are miles and miles separating you and me

Clean Cough 01:57
Clean cough and I'm still sick What else could it be? Lay low and I can't heal - Apart from being real, apart from being real With all I have concealed But when it comes down to the pine, I'm not the sharpest kind Manipulative mind And all that I can give: The sweetness of my lips, the sweetness of a kiss What are they gonna do when I'm dead? Hold each other, laugh together, Crawl inside and hurt forever What am I gonna do when I'm dead? Never give up but I never say never Never say no cause you'll never get better Clean cut and I'm still here Where else would I be? Faint, so I can breathe.

your hands are rough like sandpaper or a human that fights too much to save the end of the world you’re broken now, you don’t remember how to touch, kiss, hold me in place how to feed me love he said, “don’t stop dreamin’, let love grow on” you’ll make it home and you’ll finally find out who you are inside every battle your ego shatters, you are one, you’re whole, you’re more than a human now I’m shallow still, I like your face but your heart is under lockdown and your brain is a baby’s brain do you still think we could be us? though I’m moving miles away and your baby’s on its way you said, “don’t stop dreamin’, let love grow on” you’ll make it home and you’ll finally find out who you are inside every battle your ego shatters, you are one, you’re whole, you’re more than a human now monsoon season is over soon and I dodged New Zealand winter too I still long for you every day in the meantime, I’ll move away no, “don’t stop dreamin’, let love grow on” you’ll make it home and you’ll finally find out who you are inside every battle your ego shatters, you are one, you’re whole, you’re more than a human now you are one, you’re whole, you’re more than a human now you are one, you’re whole, you’re more than a human now

Your Time 04:10
Even though I swear you’re never there I receive voicemails that you still care Your resonance scoops my guts out The things you say become bullets And even though I can’t feel you I can’t touch past my borders Even though you choose to feed the past Offspring can only offer so much Forgive me, forgive me, for I have sinned I kill you, I kill you off time and time again Your tone of voice makes my ears bleed The way you frown cuts me open Even though I can’t see you All I feel is broken Cost of my heart does not exist Buy me a house you don’t live in Off the market - is my affection Off the market - is your compassion We go for lunch, I drink coffee We’re in your car, ask me questions And even though you don’t hear me You don’t pretend that you listen In the summer you made me Heal your wounds before mine And even though I still did it At least you gave me your time

Outsider 03:38
not really sure where this is going just like a top, when does the spinning stop? I am still around, and ripely so waiting to be found why am I still around? not really sure about most things but truth persists inside my being look! my life's alive but it means I leave how does a soul survive when the mind's eye dies outside, I smell flowers and the grass is so green I don't understand why you don't wanna be out here with me not really sure how I should leave should I just pack my things, get on a plane to where my heart decides all I want is truth living a rebel's life means I stay outside outside their heads feels like the worst thing but one day I'll fly when I grow my wings and the sun will shine and my heart will gleam I will say goodbye and I'm fucking free! outside, I smell flowers and the grass is so green I don't understand why you don't wanna be out here with me outside, I dance under grandfather trees I don't understand why you don't wanna be out here with me there's no place like om there's no place like om there's no place like om

light above, flood my heart I have cried for your help the breeze is warm but I'm inside mystic asks, "where's your love?" I'll be the dance. I'll be the song a little birdy said, "you're never wrong" I'll be the wind, I'll be a tree I am heart, not the body here am I, in my cage butterfly, fly away on your quest, find the key but don't forget to fly back to me today I met you for the very first time although I've held your heart in my hands you disappeared, all but your light now you can see clear without eyesight here am I, in my cage butterfly, fly away on your quest, find the key but don't forget to come back for me here am I, in the pit butterfly, fly far from it if you die on your quest I will try my very best

Relapse 03:14
The feeling goes away The feeling goes away I spent all my time on you I spent all my time for you But the feeling goes away The feeling goes away I got no more time for you I got better things to do Where have I been lately? My mind is mud lately My trust is too busy I’m distracted I can’t find love lately I can’t create lately My days are much less free I’m distracted You said “good luck, it’ll be a bit tough Your ship’s in danger, your crew has left you” Well fuck, it’ll be a bit rough But I’m still sailing and I’m not ready to die Just yet The feeling goes away The feeling goes away I spend all my time on you I spend all my time for you The feeling goes away

Somedays I sit & study a flower Somedays a tree feels like my father & I'll walk alone, all-one Complete, under the sun & I'll cry until I feel joy again I may cry until I smile again There's nothing wrong with that There's nothing wrong with that There's nothing wrong with wanting better days to come & greet you There's nothing wrong with hollering above, "Please, God, I need you!" There's nothing wrong with taking a step back Or sittin' on grandma's lap There's nothing wrong with that There's nothing wrong with that Somedays I'll cancel plans to be alone Somedays I need a friend to feel at home & creation's in ma bones Artistic blood that flows & I'll write until I can't write anymore I'll write until frustration freezes my soul There's nothing wrong with that There's nothing wrong with that There's nothing wrong with wanting better days to come & greet you There's nothing wrong with hollering above, "Please, God, I need you!" There's nothing wrong with taking a step back Or sittin' on grandma's lap Or spillin' coffee on your dress Or forgetting to clean up a mess Or getting rejected when you ask out your crush One day soon, you will be in luck There's nothing wrong with that There's nothing wrong with that There's nothing wrong with that

Stigma 01:08
Why would I sign a contract with a bruised lung? The malady is not only killing me, it's healing me. It makes no sense, don't try to make it sense. And nobody's gonna get a reward or a life or a heart with a proud defence. You love me if you love you and I love you. I don't wanna feel shame, I don't wanna feel shame, I don't wanna feel shame no more.

Are you awake? I never sleep. My window says It’s time to rise. In daylight, dear, daylight, daylight, dear Will you take care? Please don’t give me the wrong idea. Give me your mouth, I’ll fill it with Good words, make sure you use ‘em right. In daylight, dear, daylight, daylight, dear Will you take care? Are you awake? I never sleep. My window says It’s time to rise.

about

Emma Perri Edmonton, Alberta

Emma Perri's music is heartful, rich, intimate and can often be a very deep journey into what it means to be real and true to yourself. She describes it as an experimental and playful way to express the most absurd and personal depths within her head and heart.
