Emergency & Me Lyrics — Speedy Ortiz

Exit on 90
An ear upon my mindfulness
Audiobook rallies me after hours
Conflict
Even when parenthetic
Makes hiding out my favorite use for cars

I'm so defenseless
I worship infographics
Now the year's up, lessons were left unspent
With regrets
I barricade the exits
Fix my oxygen last in emergency

Emergency
That's you and me

Freeze the frozen
Emergency
Kick the sun out into the mountains
You and me
Striking first like that's victimhood
Emergency
Freeze the frozen and play possum
For how long?

Underneath my desk
Prayers and thoughts are pointless
Borealis whispers, but the lights burn
You see it?
One aspect of a silhouette
Keeps your vision blurred past a safe return

Freeze the frozen
Emergency
Kick the sun out into the mountains
You and me
Striking first like that's victimhood
Emergency
Freeze the frozen and play possum
For how long?

Emergency
You and me

I'm so embarrassed
I danced around my ethics
Now my cardiac's blowing up my spot
The message
You garner from a legend
Is never wow, leave me now, hot shot
