Lyrics
Emily always had a way of hidin' behind a book,
Or on the surface of a conversation just out of reach.
Just around the corner from a place she thought you'd find,
She was always just one step ahead of me.
I remember moments when I thought that I might find her, She was always leavin', always remindin' me that...
Everbody wants to be somebody that needs nobody else.
Undiscovered, a step above, different from the rest.
She'd rather be a mystery,
She's Nobody's Emily.
Yesterday I saw her talking' circles round some unsuspecting stranger as she leaned against the bar. I could tell that he thought she was listening, but she was captivated by the music playing down the hall.
I could see right through her, cause that's the way I knew her. I knew she was leavin' before she was gone.
Everbody wants to be somebody that needs nobody else.
Undiscovered, a step above, different from the rest.
She'd rather be a mystery,
She looks at me just like a stranger, she gives me smile.
Everbody wants to be somebody that needs nobody else.
Undiscovered, a step above, different from the rest.
She'd rather be a mystery,
And even when she's next to me, She's Nobody's Emily.
