Am I fair in the lights, can you see my feelings?
On the stage, in your arms, can you see my feelings?
I’m scared, that you think I’m the one for you,
Brush a dust on my face to cover up what’s true.
Blush, white, white blush,
White, white blush,
White, white blush.
Are you caught in a trance, did it overtake you?
Do you know, who I am or did these lights mistake you?
I thought I knew, but I don’t and now I have to pay for it,
When you looked, when you stared wanted me running through your fingertips.
In these lights, my heart is crushing,
You think I’m blushing, but I am bluffing,
In these lights, my heart is crushing,
You think I’m blushing, blushing…
You think you know me…you don’t know who I am.
You can’t just have me in the palm of your hand,
I won’t be running through your fingertips,
I won’t be running through your fingertips.

"I'm staggered by how good she is. I can honestly say she's the most exciting thing I've heard in a long
time."
– Bernie Taupin, Elton John's cowriter
"I've never seen an unknown performer with more power as when I saw Ariana performing at a music convention – I couldn't stop talking about her. The last performer I felt this way about was Bruce Springsteen"
– Dave Marsh, Rolling Stone Magazine...more
The whole album is awesome. But I gravitated first toward "Portland". Then "Wildwood Flower" because I'm familiar the 10,000 Maniacs cover. Very different; AVK's is very contemplative. Jameson Calantoc
