What makes you happy?
What makes you happy? Hey!
What makes you happy?
What makes you happy?
Bustin' your butt for a lousy 20 bucks
Is it really worth it?
Sweatin' it out to lose that last 5 pounds
well you gotta get off it
I met a girl with a smile
and a gleam in her eye
she leaned in and let me in
on a little secret
There's a light in your soul
when you let it all go
and just kick back and have/taste
a little gin and chocolate.....a little gin and chocolate
What makes you happy?
What makes you happy? Hey!
What makes you happy?
What makes you happy? Hey!
fakin' a smile to inch down that long mile
will you ever reach it?
breakin' your back to win that lover back
well you gotta get over it
there's a lesson I learned
that rattled and turned
my world into a
place of sweet contentment
There's a light in your soul
when you let it all go
and just kick back and have/taste
a little gin and chocolate.....a little gin and chocolate

Passion
Was it for real
Aching and hoping we stand and we kneel
Ask me
Where have I been
choked in a strangle hold where love meets with sin
A lifetime did occure
Now we're dust upon the fur
And we'll blow it off and brush it and go back to where we were
I can see your disguise
through the salt in my eyes
and this masquerade love parade's reached it's demise
there's a hole in my skin
where the rain is rushing in
but the flood is our blood that is spilling deep within
Crawling
in a pile of wet cement
Making impressions that lack a precedent
Dried up
Still fresh and smooth like stone
But the cracks in our pavement will deem us both alone
A lifetime did occure
Now we're dust upon the fur
And we'll blow it off and brush it and go back to where we were
I can see your disguise
through the salt in my eyes
and this masquerade love parade's reached it's demise
there's a hole in my skin
where the rain is rushing in
but the flood is our blood that is spilling deep within
Freeways paved with memories
Of what was there before
The painted lines will fade
like the love we had was more
but our hearts will both feel sore
and we'll never understand why we could never fight this war

Where Do I Go
03:27

When I was just a little girl
I had the whole wide world (descend)
before me ….before me
breaking rules and bending time
believing luck on my side (descend)
trusting ….trusting
then a few years down the road
Got to the place I had to go
then the questions started
Can anybody anybody tell me where do I go from here x 2.....where do I go
road maps like constellations
of ever-shifting destinations
seeking ….seeking
found my groove and hit my stride
maybe I'm finally satisfied
steady.....steady
just when the stars seemed all aligned
the planets shifted one more time
and I ask myself again
Can anybody anybody tell me where do I go from here x 2 ….
my hands are quiet, feet are still, heart is beating slow and soft
my eyes are drinking in this sun, as it sinks into the water, but my mind it running off
to dreams yet to come
Can anybody anybody tell me where do I go, how do I know, where do I go, how do I know, where do I go

Keep Running

VERSE 1
“better luck next time, little girl” they always say
I pack up my guitar, I smile and walk away
another day pickin' my heart up off the floor
But wipe the tears, and I knock on that next door
CHORUS
I'll keep running (keep running)
keep running (keep running)
I will run till the soles of my shoes are bare
gotta keep running (keep running)
keep running (keep running)
I ain't afraid of the fall(ing) because I've had my share
of heartache
but I'm going to get there
VERSE 2
nothing motivates like the site of your last dime
but you pump it in your tank and you climb on and ride
and there's lovely comfort in the arms of 9 to 5
& I could hang my hat there but I'd shrivel up and die
CHORUS
So keep running (keep running)
keep running (keep running)
I will run till the soles of my shoes are bare
gotta keep running (keep running)
keep running (keep running)
I ain't afraid of the fall(ing) because I've had my share
of heartache
but I'm going to get there
BRIDGE
Ooooh living for the dance
Ooooh if you don't take your chances
and embrace your passion
you will die with dreams inside
CHORUS (alt)
So keep running (keep running)
keep running (keep running)
I will run till the soles of my shoes are bare
gotta keep running (keep running)
keep running (keep running)
I ain't afraid of the fall(ing) because I've had my share
And I refuse to go down with regret in my air
there are riches awaiting for those who dare
I won't despair....no...
I'm going to get there

Little Lies

Oh they're just little lies....
how can you look me in the eyes
and bend reality at your whim
straddle the line between the life you lead
and the fantasy that you're in
such a subversive form of abuse
that you never trust me with the truth
Oh they're just little lies x 8
the shackles of alibis and cover ups
will bind and weigh you down
they say the cold hard truth can set you free
from the web you've woven around
learn how it feels to tell it straight
throw down your chips and raise the stakes

Be Your Own Superhero

I can see that you're sad and hurting
your dreams and plans have come undone
nobody's nice ….and nothin's fun
The brats and bullies have you wishin'
you could fly off in a single bound
find your steel, don't back down
You don't need to wear a cape & tights
to Stand up for what is right
Be your own superhero....When the sun doesn't shine
part those clouds....and make way for the light
You've got heart, you've got muscle you've got ' nothing to hide
Have no fear...oh...
Be you're own superhero
I used to sulk at my pity party
couldn't leave, couldn't find the door
until I learned what my eyes was for
I discovered I had Xray vision
I could see to the other side
Through the fear and dark disguise
FIND your wings & TRUST your might
don't fill your pockets up with kryptonite
Be your own superhero....When the sun doesn't shine
part those clouds....and make way for the light
You've got heart, you've got muscle you've got ' nothing to hide
Have no fear...oh...
Be you're own superhero
There will be days when the forces of evil
Will try to bring you down
But all you gotta do is sound the alarm
And bring your super-friends around
