about

“The truth is, it kind of gives me hives to give a compliment," Emily explained in a recent interview with Idolator. "For a songwriter, I really suck at words of affirmation. I can’t remember which one of us said it that day, but it came down to writing, truly, my version of a love song. So of course, that’s what we called it.” The end result is a timely reminder that love exists in even the darkest of times.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know you don't believe me some days
But I'm always going out of my way
To show you how I love you, babe
Don't you know I love you, baby?

If I could put a thousand words in a kiss
I'd write a novel all over your lips
Saying I wish I was better at this
But it is what it is

[Pre-Chorus]
My love for you is a slow drip, a long trip
After one good strong hit
A lot of bite in just a little bit, yeah

[Chorus]
This is my version of a love song
Will you still love me if I get it wrong?
Oh baby, we both know
Putting it on paper's not my nature
But it's something that I'm working on
This is my version of a love song, aye

[Verse 2]
Whenever I'm blowing up your phone
Bugging you to get you back home
It's only 'cause I'm running low
I need you and I to go

Nice and slow drip, a long trip
One good strong hit
Communicate a little bit, yeah

[Chorus]
This is my version of a love song
Will you still love me if I get it wrong?
Oh baby, we both know
Putting it on paper's not my nature
But it's something that I'm working on
This is my version of

[Bridge]
Saying everything I don't ever say
My version of
Telling you what you feel, I feel the same
My version of
So much more than any, "I love you, babe"
But I love you, baby

[Chorus]
This is my version of a love song
Will you still love me if I get it wrong?
Putting it on paper's not my nature
But it's something that I'm working on, yeah
This is my version of a love song
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
