Lying awake
On her twin extra long bed
She didn't think she could wait
Until Thanksgiving weekend
To go back to Farmingville and make a bonfire cooking up good
With people she understood
Friday night in the dorm
Children left to their own devices
She went along with the norm
Keystone light and late-night slices
And Don't Stop Believing
And never have I ever
And that's what she said
And the boys were sycophants
Trying to get in her pants
When Emily went off to school
Went off to school
Well nobody had said it might be tough when she arrived
'Cause friends take time to find oh no no no
How embarrassing to be depressed
During the best years of her life
And her roommate kept dragging her to a capella shows
Super tight with Marie
But in a way she already missed her
'Bause it was easy to see
That they wouldn't become Greek sisters
'Cause her body mass index wasn't a good fit
For Gamma Phi
And Marie was probably gonna get a bid from Gamma Phi
When Emily went off to school
Went off to school
Yeah nobody had mentioned that it's tough when you arrive
'Cause friends take time to find oh no no no
How embarrassing to feel depressed during the best years of her life
When Emily went off to school
