Ice Cream Boy

Soak up my sunshine,
And I'll bask in your moonlight,
Watch as the stars shine above us.
Our sleepy weekends,
Coffee-filled paradise,
Together, no one beside us.
With waffles on Sundays,
And chasing our shadows,
Our time spent inside a,
Sugar-lined bubble.
Dancing in the moonlight,
Kissing you at sunrise,
Wanna make this my life,
Always be my ice cream boy,
My ice cream boy.
You were an unexpected surprise,
Could've gone my whole life,
Never being by your side,
My ice cream boy,
My ice cream boy.
Do you remember,
What it was like,
To spend a whole day apart?
And could you imagine,
Ever giving up,
Time with the sunshine above us?
With waffles on Sundays,
And chasing our shadows,
Our time spent inside a,
Sugar-lined bubble.
Dancing in the moonlight,
Kissing you at sunrise,
Wanna make this my life,
Always be my ice cream boy,
My ice cream boy.
You were an unexpected surprise,
Could've gone my whole life,
Never being by your side,
My ice cream boy,
My ice cream boy.
It's nearing midnight,
But I won't close my eyes,
I'm scared I'll wake up from this dream.
It has waffles on Sundays,
And chasing our shadows,
And spending our lives in,
A sugar-lined bubble.
Dancing in the moonlight,
Kissing you at sunrise,
Wanna make this my life,
Always be my ice cream boy,
My ice cream boy.
You were an unexpected surprise,
Could've gone my whole life,
Never being by your side,
My ice cream boy,
My ice cream boy.

Can't Want You
03:43

As above, so below,
My actions give me away.
I shouldn't act with such certainty,
Your body casts a shadow.
You think that you know me,
But you don't know the truth.
You think that you want me,
I can't want you.
Learn to dance in a day,
You move so fast, take me with you.
A new voice to calm my nerves,
If you knew these thoughts, I'd never live it down.
You think that you know me,
But you don't know the truth.
You think that you want me,
I can't want you.
You think that you know me,
But you don't know the truth.
You think that you want me,
I can't want you.
These thoughts are compounding,
Not that I'm complaining.
I find it astounding,
That you've become so important to me.
You think that you know me,
But you don't know the truth.
You think that you want me,
I can't want you.
It's not like it's easy,
To get you off my mind.
But I won't give up the best thing,
I'll have to leave you behind.
I can't want you,
I can't want you,
You can't want me,
And I can't want you.

Little Stories

I'll write you little stories,
I'll listen to your songs,
I'll let you tell me 'bout your world.
If it gets dark and lonely,
I'll light a cozy hearth,
You leave your shoes and rest assured.
I kind of wanna talk about it,
But I won't make a fool our of it.
Tryna plant a garden in a day,
But nothing grows in Arizona anyway.
Hold out your little finger,
I wanna make a pact,
We'll do this right and see it through.
Tell me your little stories,
I'll play you all my songs,
Even the one I wrote 'bout you.
I kind of wanna talk about it,
But I won't make a fool our of it.
Tryna plant a garden in a day,
But nothing grows in Arizona anyway.
You're running around living,
While I'm stuck in a cycle here.
Yeah you're running around while I'm just spiralling, I'm spiralling, I'm-
You're running around living,
While I'm stuck in a cycle here.
You're running around while I'm just spiralling, I'm spiralling, I-
I kind of wanna talk about it,
But I won't make a fool our of it.
Tryna plant a garden in a day.
I keep my hopes up on a mountain,
Knowing they'll come crashing down again,
Why can't I just learn to leave you be,
When I know nothing grows in Arizona anyway?

Under the Surface
04:50
|

I always thought what we had was the most important,
The only thing that we'd ever have to hold onto,
You planted doubt deep, deep in my mind.
Now you're haunting my dreams, a ghost in the machine,
Should I cry? Should I scream? Don't know what I'm feeling.
In purgatory because of you.
Now I feel the rhythm,
Of a sick, sick heart.
The air's getting thinner,
As I ask myself,
Should I cut it with a knife,
And let all the demons fly out?
Or do we keep it all inside,
Under the surface?
Do we know where it'll lead,
If we tear away the bandage?
Are we scared to watch it bleed,
From under the surface?
Under the surface
Memories, time well spent, keeping us together,
If we cover the pain, will we last forever?
Am I strong enough to cut off my own arm?
'Cause I feel the rhythm,
Of a sick, sick heart.
The air's getting thinner,
And I'm asking you,
Should I cut it with a knife,
And let all the demons fly out?
Or do we keep it all inside,
Under the surface?
Do we know where it'll lead,
If we tear away the bandage?
Are we scared to watch it bleed,
From under the surface?
Under the surface
I don't know why, but I keep explaining,
Maybe someday we'll both want the same thing,
I can't decide, should I hedge my bets?
Can't I use you as a safety net?
I don't know why, but I keep explaining,
Maybe someday we'll both want the same thing,
I can't decide, should I hedge my bets?
Can I use you?
Should I cut it with a knife,
And let all the demons fly out?
Or do we keep it all inside,
Under the surface?
Do we know where it'll lead,
If we tear away the bandage?
Are we scared to watch it bleed,
From under the surface?
Under the surface

Emma Whale Toronto, Ontario
Emma Whale is the next artist you’ll bring up at dinner to sound cool.
Emma became a
multi-instrumentalist at a young age. She has been a songwriter for several years, and works as an engineer and producer at Catherine North Studios.
While compared to Clairo, Taylor Swift, and Hayley Williams, her sound is hard to pin down. But her consistent and impressive lyrics and vocal are uniquely her.
