lyrics

shine
(amilia k spicer)

interstate ten can make you believe
you're leaving behind all the things you don't need
half blown out tires sacrificed in the heat
you say "that...will never...happen to me"

close to el paso the sky split in half
the storm on the right
the sun on the left
and i laughed cuz i knew what both sides meant
it's all right...it's all right...it's all right

shine
won't you shine
won't you shine
a little while

you ask me if i want you still
still as in quiet or as in until
or as in maybe someday i will
when the fireflies light up the night
cuz i think it's time to love like you mean it
to just decide fear will not steal it
from your lips to god's ears
who finally hears it
and says "it's all right...it's all right...it's all right"

shine
won't you shine
won't you shine
a little while

and the truth of it
is i want to fit
in all of these rhymes
but the hardest part
of a broken heart
is waiting sometimes
to shine

won't you shine
won't you shine
a little while
