Emily Hurd: SONGS

I’ve got skies in my eyes. They are lakes. See them shine.
If it seems I’ve grown mean. Change your mind, and I am fine.

You view what you view. Here’s my smile. Here’s my hand.
I am who you make true. So say “She’s sweet.” Then I am.

CHORUS
If the light doesn’t burn, waters turn dark as coal.
And I just reflect, so what you get is what you show.

I can’t see what you see. I’m alone over here.
And you are there over where you alone know you, dear.
So how could I even try to enforce any shame
When I don’t know where you go who you are or why you came?

CHORUS

If you throw me a stone, you will break all that’s still.
But if you’d like to see me shine, then see me shine, and I will.

CHORUS
