EMILY HURD: SONGS

Give It Time

(A Cache In The Warehouse Floor, 2008)
I got your note, though it’s two years late. Sweet as it seems, dreams will have to wait.
These words I hold that you scrolled out in blue would have meant much more for me the days they were new.
You are used to how I used to just fall for your lines, but now it’s been so long, and I gotta give it time

CHORUS
Gonna give it time. If this is gonna begin.
Gonna give it time. To wonder where you have been.
Gonna give it time. Before I let you back in,
I got to miss what I’m missin til I love you again.

I got so worn, warmin my own heart. And when you’re tired, fires ain’t easy to start.
My tires been spinnin gettin out of this rut. And my feet are just very barely free of this mud.
You’re accustomed to customs that things will be fine, but it’s been so long and I gotta give it time.

CHORUS

BRIDGE
I wanna build me a memory of things I can’t remember.
Wanna build you up every day that we’re together.
Wanna kiss you cuz I like it, not because it’s easy.
So if you wanna try it, if you wanna please me…….. give it time.

I got your smile, child. I see it plain. And though it feels real, it ain’t the same.
I know you know how to say what I need, but once you been cut, it’s just so easy to bleed.
You’re reactin to the actions that I’ve since left behind. It’s been so long, and I gotta give it time.

CHORUS
