Bet every school and every generation picture the scene
So the names have changed, but the situation still has a ring
They fell in love back when love was nothing complicated
And skipped the part where you got so jaded
They got it right from the start

And through the years, before your eyes they go on on and on
Not out of some kind of insecurity, because they belong
They were children winning at an adult game
Now they're older but that spirit remains
They got it right from the start

It's an Emma and Julian thing
An Emma and Julian thing they got going

They never argue, complain or seem in distress
And of course they're beautiful, could they be any less?
They made a home that was safe as houses
While you tried on lovers like trying on trousers
They got it right from the start

If you take the best thing that you have
Hold it beside them and
You'll find you may have a good thing
But that counts for nothing 'cause you'll never have what they have

An Emma and Julian thing
An Emma and Julian thing they got going
