Lyrics Don’t be actin’ like you got another place to be Or another face to kiss softly Won’t ya whisper something, really anything that I Can get behind to keep you here with me You built me up, I’m used to you by now If you leave, you’re gonna tear me down I want your waist, I’ll hold you Your face is like morning dew Like I never knew So don’t leave me Cuz I love your laugh, it makes me ache Your back makes my misbehave Makes my body shake So don’t leave me here alone Cuz I know you’re my home Heard you had some other plans to find yourself But I need some help to understand Tell me so I am prepared, don’t up and go After you know I’m fast asleep again You built me up, I’m used to you by now If you leave, you’re gonna tear me down I want your waist, I’ll hold you Your face is like morning dew Like I never knew So don’t leave me Cuz I love your laugh, it makes me ache Your back makes my misbehave Makes my body shake So don’t leave me here alone Cuz I know you’re my home Suitcase, no way, I’ve been replaced Broken, shut door, no us no more Then I found the words that stopped you before I want your waist, I’ll hold you Your face is like morning dew Like I never knew So don’t leave me Cuz I love your laugh, it makes me ache Your back makes my misbehave Makes my body shake So don’t leave me here alone Cuz you know this is home

Lyrics So here I am again Cut the cord, just like before we met I can’t understand How you could take it all, And act so innocent I can’t afford to be in love My stupid heart has cost me too much I’m richer on my own What I have's enough I can’t afford to be in love Paid the price I know Take the hit and I admit I’m feelin' low Don’t follow where I go Cuz ya bled me dry, and I need my time to grow I can’t afford to be in love My stupid heart has cost me too much I’m richer on my own What I have's enough I can’t afford to be in love Hearts don’t break til they’re open Love don’t hurt til it’s stolen I saved up for this moment And you know it But I don’t want ya now I can’t afford to be in love My stupid heart has cost me too much I’m richer on my own What I have's enough I can’t afford to be in love
3.	Ghost On Fire 03:50	lyrics	buy track
Lyrics Why’s my mind so awake? Bed of nails, where I lay, where I lay I’m overthinking Over and over again Over and over Pillow fight in my mind Instead of feathers, throwin’ knives Pickin’ fights In my mind Overnight So excuse my eyes They’ve been working overtime They won’t close tonight I’ve been chasing light Waiting for the sun to rise To set your ghost on fire Cut me deep, cleverly Paralyzed, I can’t sleep, no I can’t sleep I’m overthinking Over and over again Over and over I forgot how to dream You’ve been weighing down on me Can’t you haunt another girl who isn’t me? I’m over I’m over this So excuse my eyes They’ve been working overtime They won’t close tonight I’ve been chasing light Waiting for the sun to rise To set your ghost on fire I’ve lived out your horror movie I’ll survive this purgatory Can’t you haunt another girl who isn’t me So excuse my eyes They’ve been working overtime They won’t close tonight I’ve been chasing light Waiting for the sun to rise To set your ghost on fire

about

Jungle Tapes: Volume #2 is an album of raw, live takes of 10 songs written over 10 days during a worldwide lockdown in 2020.

Written and recorded live in her neon jungle home studio, these 10 songs were written originally as a part of a creative writing exercise called the 10 Songs challenge, (the 2nd 10 Songs Challenge of the year 2020) in which Emma would write one new original song every day following daily writing prompts. The challenge was rebooted during the quarantine period to encourage her audience to stay creative and try the challenge out at home too.
