Happy New Me
I always did what I was supposed to do
But in the back of my mind I think I always knew
That perfect path just wasn't mine
Believe me, I tried
I don't wanna let this become my life
When you're on the wrong train, any stop will do...
From now on, I'll be who I was meant to be
This is the year, I'm making the leap
I don't need no resolution to finally be me
It'll be a merry Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Me
Happy New Me
Starting over's hard but I'm having fun
Never been so happy to see the bottom rung
I'm all in, come what may, I won't second guess
I know it'll be a while, I'll take it step by step
When you're on the wrong train, any stop will do...
From now on, I'll be who I was meant to be
This is the year, I'm making the leap
I don't need no resolution to finally be me
It'll be a merry Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Me
Happy New Me
From now on, I'll be who I was meant to be
This is the year, I'm making the leap
I don't need no resolution to finally be me
It'll be a merry Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Me
I don't need no resolution, I'm finally free
It's a merry Merry Christmas
A merry merry Christmas
A merry merry Christmas
And a Happy New Me

Heartbeat
It didn't take much more
Than just a moment to know
That we could be as one
Now look how far we've come
When I need a smile
I think about the years we've had
Adventures of a kind
Starring you and I
Oooh this much I know
Love can happen in a heartbeat
But oooh to make it last a lifetime
We learned to sing and dance in tandem
To the rhythm of our heartbeat
To the rhythm of our heartbeat
We are quite the team
If this life's a game, then we're winning
So shine the stadium lights
Baby on you and I
Baby on you and I
Oooh this much I know
Love can happen in a heartbeat
But oooh to make it last a lifetime
We learned to sing and dance in tandem
To the rhythm of our heartbeat
To the rhythm of our heartbeat
[Instrumental verse]
Oooh this much I know
Love can happen in a heartbeat
But oooh to make it last a lifetime
We learned to sing and dance in tandem
To the rhythm of our heartbeat
To the rhythm of our heartbeat
Oooh this much I know
Love can happen in a heartbeat
But oooh to make it last a lifetime
We learned to sing and dance in tandem
To the rhythm of our heartbeat (to the rhythm, to the rhythm)
To the rhythm of our heartbeat
I love the rhythm of our heartbeat
Until the Daylight Comes
Restless dreams
Sleepless night
Nothings seems
to be quite right
Endless thoughts
Run through your head
Worries and troubles
You can't forget
You feel fixed in gear
Running in place
Like wheels are spinning
And you're losing the race
The odds are against you
So you don't dare
To be so selfish
And show you're scared
I cannot fix the world
Or chase the darkness away
But I can stay here with you
Until the daylight comes
Until the daylight comes
The daylight comes
We thrive on logic
Survive on fear
The world is irrational
It's perfectly clear
Life is unfair
And complicated
But I'm here for you
Through the good and the bad
I cannot fix the world
Or chase the darkness away
But I can stay here with you
Until the daylight comes
Until the daylight comes
I cannot fix the world
Or chase the darkness away
But I can stay here with you
Until the daylight comes
Until the daylight comes
The daylight comes
Get Me Home for the Holidays
Home (oh oh oh)
Home for the holidays...
Winter time, drinking cocoa by the fire
Snowball fights, sledding down a hill of white
I can't wait, no I can't wait
In the mood, singing carols out of tune
Pretty soon, I’ll be wrapping presents green and rouge
I can't wait, no I can't wait
Counting down the days
I’ll do anything, I will...
Sit in the middle of the back row
By the kid that cries on a red-eye (Uh Oh)
Hitch hike, ride a bike through the snow
All I know is I’m going home (ho-ome)
Just get me home
Get me home
Home for the holidays
Family, everyone surrounding me
Light the tree, this is where I want to be
I can’t wait, no I can’t wait
Counting all the ways
Sit in the middle of the back row
By the kid that bites on a red-eye (Uh Oh)
Hitch hike, ride a bike through the snow
All I know is I’m going home (ho-ome)
Just get me home
Get me home
Home for the holidays
If I had to guess
It won’t even be five minutes
Before the disagreements
But I wouldn’t change a thing
I would...
Sit in the middle of the back row
By the kid that bites on a red-eye (Uh Oh)
Hitch hike, ride a bike through the snow
All I know is I’m going home (ho-ome)
Just get me home
Get me home
Home for the holidays
Get me home
Get me home
Get me home
Home for the holidays

Christmas Feels Lost Without You
I see the tinsel, I see the lights
Everything's in place, but something's not right
They tell me that Christmas is just days away
But your'e not here, what's to celebrate?
When did jingle bells ever sound so tired?
Never used to be so cold by a crackling fire
This holiday season is dreary as january
Christmas feels lost without you
I can't find the cheer, I lost the joy
I might as well be in some kind of play
Going through the motions like an old machine gear
What would it take to bring you here?
When did jingle bells ever sound so tired?
Never used to be so cold by a crackling fire
This holiday season is dreary as january
Christmas feels lost
No matter what I do
Christmas feels lost without you
Sidelines Aren't For You
So many reasons
To turn the other way
Play it safe, play it cool
And live another day
But you won’t take it, you must break it
The change, it has to come
Go, go, you know you can’t live with the
Status quo, you can feel it in your gut so
Go, go, get in the middle of it
Go, go, the sidelines aren’t for you
The sidelines aren’t for you
So many before you
Were willing to compromise
But you know the consequence
Of sitting out this fight
You know deep inside that’s not
Who you are
Go, go, you know you can’t live with the
Status quo, you can feel it in your gut so
Go, go, get in the middle of it
Go, go, the sidelines aren’t for you
Sidelines aren’t for you
Enough is enough
No turning back
Enough is enough
It’s time to get up, time to rise up
Go, go, you know you can’t live with the
Status quo, you can feel it in your gut so
Go, go, get in the middle of it
Go, go, the sidelines aren’t for you
Go, go, you know you can’t live with the
Status quo, you can feel it in your gut so
Go, go, get in the middle of it
Go, go, the sidelines aren’t for you
The sidelines aren’t for you
Let a Day Together Be Christmas
Snow is glistening
Bells are swinging
It's the merriest time of year
And I can't wait to celebrate with you here
If you’re wondering
What to get me
It won’t come in a box with bows
You will even find it when stores are closed
Just remember what this season is for
It’s much more than the trees and gifts & all
I don’t have to be yet another name to cross off your list
I would rather see your smiling face, the one that I miss
Instead of you fighting the crowds to get what you hope might be my wish
Let’s let a day together be Christmas
This Christmas
We'll share meals and funny stories
Laughs will brighten the darkest room
This is all that really matters
Time together, me and you
Just remember what this season is for
I don’t have to be yet another name to cross off your list
I would rather see your smiling face, the one that I miss
Instead of you fighting the crowds to get what you hope might be my wish
Let’s let a day together be Christmas
I don’t have to be yet another name to cross off your list
I would rather see your smiling face, the one that I miss
Instead of you fighting the crowds to get what you hope might be my wish
Let’s let a day together
Let’s let a day together
Let’s let a day together be Christmas
This Christmas
Have You Noticed the Season?
Have you noticed the season?
Little ones have a happy gait
Fingers crossed for their presents
Finally the season they await
Have you noticed the season?
Even the buildings seem to glow
But if you need a reason
I’ll find a mistletoe
Dance with me now, here in the snow
I promise it won’t be, just for show
(As the carolers sing)
Fa, la, la …
Have you noticed the season?
Just look up above
Each star that is twinkling
Says this is the season of love
Dance with me now …
Fa, la, la
Let’s end the year
With a new start
Glad tidings and cheer
Straight from the heart
Fa, la, la …
This is the season
For falling in love
Dance with me …
Have you noticed the season?
Fa, la, la, la, la
Side by Side
I’d like to lose my way with you
Strolling down some misplaced avenue
We’d stumble into an old junk shop
Buy some trinket just for our amusement
Wouldn’t matter what we do
Just as long as I’m with you
Let’s forge an alliance stronger than plato
Cast our credo in Esperanto
Take on the world like Bonnie and Clyde
Just you and me, side by side
Why don’t we steal a day together
Partners in crime, co-conspirators, birds of a feather
We’d plot our caper on a paper napkin
In an ancient diner with the juke box playing
Doesn’t matter what we decide
As long as we’re side by side
Let’s forge an alliance stronger than plato
Cast our credo in Esperanto
Take on the world like Bonnie and Clyde
Just you and me, side by side
Side by side
Side by side
Side by side
Side by side
You Must've Known
You must’ve known my name before I came along
The way you say it sounds just like a song
So I am pretty sure that you
Already knew my name
Before I came along
You must’ve known my name before I came along
And when we first walked hand in hand
I couldn’t reach couldn’t understand
But you were there at every step
Anticipating every fall
Gave me strength to move on
You must’ve known my strength before I came along
I made more mistakes than I can remember
You bit your tongue and kept your smile
Knowing eventually I’d figure it out
On my own but meanwhile
I just want to say thanks to you
For never saying I told you so
Except a million times
But that’s okay
You must’ve known that too before this song
Gravity Can Wait
Give me more of the long, long days
Warming to the golden rays
Riding free, I feel the wind
the rhythm in my skin
In my skin
When your soul is free and awake
The past and tomorrow can skate
Tricks to try, moves to make
You want to fly
One more time
Gravity can wait
Gravity can wait
Gravity can wait
Gravity can wait
All we have is the warm, warm breeze
And we wear our hearts out with ease
Feel the wind, on our sun-kissed skin
This is our time
We’ve got time
Gravity can wait
Gravity can wait
Gravity can wait
Gravity can wait
Give me more of the long, long days
Perfect Strangers
Taking my guitar down to the street
I don’t know just who I’ll meet
Rags or Rolex, one or twenty
I don’t care I got plenty of time
Noisy buses, sirens or silence
When I play, that’s my audience
I don’t care if it pays
One dollar and fifty cents
It’s not a house,
It’s not a car,
It’s not your arms wrapped around me
But it’s okay
Because now I play
Everyday for perfect strangers
I never knew how to make you smile
You never did figure out my style
Maybe it’s just true that all the while
We were perfect strangers
It’s not a house,
It’s not a car,
It’s not your arms wrapped around me
But it’s okay
Because now I play
Everyday for perfect strangers
Baby everyday we were perfect strangers
Hypothetically
If I were the moon and you were the sun
Would you let me sleep till noon for no reason
Wake me with your smile
Warm me for a while?
If I were the sand and you were the sea
Would you reach out to me carefully
Wash away my fears
Just to show how much you care?
I was wondering hypothetically
Do you think we maybe sort of agree
I’m looking for a little of a hint or a clue
That tells me a little something, just something about you
If I were a cloud and you were the sky
Would you sit right back and let me roll right by
Sparkle your bright blue eyes
Just to cut me down to size
I was wondering hypothetically
Do you think we maybe sort of agree
I’m looking for a little of a hint or a clue
That tells me a little something, just something about you
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
Could you tell me
If I were the moon and you were the sun
Would you let me sleep till noon for no reason
Wake me with your smile
Warm me for a while?
I was wondering hypothetically
Do you think we maybe sort of agree
I’m looking for a little of a hint or a clue
That tells me a little something, just something about you
If I were the moon…
So Good
I was standing on my two feet
Not a thought in my head
Just swinging, swinging, swinging
Then I saw you walk across the street
And everything in my head
Went swimming, swimming, swimming
And I wonder if things could be so good
And I wonder how you could be so good
I wonder if things could be so good
I wonder how you could be so good
I'd like to walk upon my two feet
And say hello
hello hello hello
But I'm too shy to even greet you
My feet won't go
Won't go go go go go.
And I wonder if things could be so good
And I wonder how you could be so good
I wonder if things could be so good
I wonder how you could be so good
[scatting and ad lib]
And I wonder if things could be so good
And I wonder how you could be so good
I wonder if things could be so good
I wonder how you could be so good
If It's All the Same
If it's all the same, I left the keys on the countertop
If it's all the same, I took the painting we bought when we first met
I'll leave it to you to tell the world that our world just fell apart
And if you don't mind, let's skip the cards at Christmas time
Can't stop the sun
Can't stop the rain
Couldn't hold it together
On my own
If it's all the same, let's call it a day
If it's all the same, remember or forget my name
Can’t stop the sun
Can't stop the rain
Couldn't hold it together
On my own
Any Little Thing
Tell me a story, pretend that it’s true
Chapter and verse about me and you
Throw in a line about how over time
We come together like one of a kind
Any little thing will do
Any little thing
Serve up a lie, savory and sweet
All of the ingredients to make it complete
Include the part that captures my heart
How we clicked right from the start
Any little thing will do
Any little thing
Any thing you say, is music to my ears
Even just a whisper is coming through loud and clear
Any little smile, just a little smirk
Listen to me baby, I can make it work
Any little thing will do
Any little thing
La la la, la la la
La la la la la la
Paint me a picture of anything at all
Where’s this thing going, I just gotta know if it’s anything at all
Include a scene about what it might mean
Is this real or am I dreaming
Any little thing will do
Any little thing
Any little thing will do
Any little thing
Forget
It’s a different house but the same bed
Feelings slightly scarred with regret
Swelling up inside as the memories fill us
Is there happiness we remember still?
I thought this would be the best day
That you and I had been astray
That “you and me” could start over
But I’m not sure I can forget
I prayed for this day to happen
I hoped for proof that you were not lying
When you said we’d meet again I lost hope
And some of the love, and with time, some of the hate
I thought this would be the best day
That you and I had been astray
That “you and me” could start over
But I’m not sure I can ...
Forgive… Forget… The words you said, they can’t be taken back
Forgive… Forget… It’s too late
Forgive… Forget… It’s too late
I thought this would be the best day
That you and I had been astray
That “you and me” could start over
But I’m not sure I can forget
Good Morning Night
Good morning night, Good night day
Tuck the sun in, let the moon out to play
The day must end, for the night to begin
So lay your head down, and we’ll start all over again
Lay your head down, while the stars jump and dance
Dream a sweet dream, while you have the chance
And when you awake, you might hear some slight sighs
As the last twinkling starts in the sky
Close their weary eyes
Round and round and round we go
Back and forth, to and fro
Where we stop, well now, nobody knows
Out with the old, in with the new
Morning will come
And bring a new day
The moon in a slumber
The sun up to play
The night must end
For the day to begin
And you’ll get yourself up
You’ll get yourself up
Get yourself up
And start all over again
Where Do We Go
Written by Sherry-Lynn Lee & Eddi Cheung
Et si on pouvait tout se dire comme autrefois
Tout semblait toujours etre plus simple entre nous
Nos aventures aux petites heures du matin
Qui n'existaient plus que dans nos regards n'y sont plus
I notice your calls but I ignore you all the time
Don't wait for the tone, You know it won't give you answers
[chorus]
There's no way back to before
So why try any more
Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go
La vie peut tellement nous changer avec elle
Comment se confier en ceux qu'on ne connait plus
A quoi ca sert de se retrouver, puis partir?
Nous ne serons plus ceux dans nos souvenirs
I notice your calls but I ignore you all the time
Don't wait for the tone, You know it won't give you answers
There's no way back to before
So why try any more
Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go
Risking More
You always say I should try
Before I say I'm just not good enough
What if I fail? What if I lose it all?
You say it's gonna be alright
That not risking it all is risking more somehow
Maybe you're right, I should get past my fears
(You say) 'Don't be scared, I
Will be right there, I
know you can make it
don't let them break you now
If you're on your own now
You're strong enough now
Just take a chance and go
If you really wanna know what it's like
I've never been this brave
To try and fight for something I couldn't have
Maybe not fighting would not hurt anyone?
I always thought they'd say
'Dreams are dumb, just let them go away'
But here I am living them today!
(You say) 'Don't be scared, I
have been right there, I
knew you would make it
you didnt let them break you down
If you're on your own now
You're strong enough now
Just take a chance and go
If you really wanna know what it's like
Wonder (Mailing List Exclusive)
Another time, another space
A different light, different place
Things might have worked out between us
Proverbial ships passing through the night
We missed the chance to unite
And all we can do now is wonder
Wonder what might have been
Wonder what could be
Wonder why the cosmic odds were against us
If you believe in that sort of thing
If you believe in that sort of thing
If I were kinder, you were colder
If I were wiser, you were bolder
Chance is just a word they say
That kinda gets in the way
Of making any sense of it all
Wonder what might have been
Wonder what could be
Wonder why the cosmic odds were against us
If you believe in that sort of thing
If you believe in that sort of thing
We're so alike it's downright frightening
It hit me like bolt of lightning
Funny we have so much in common
But you have your life and I have mine
There's simply now way to unwind
All we can do now is wonder and carry on
Wonder what might have been
Wonder what could be
Wonder why the cosmic odds were against us
If you believe in that sort of thing
If you believe in that sort of thing
Same Things
Don't ask me how I am
If you
don't want the complicated type
Of answer that could make you feel bad
Don't say you're fine, I know you're lying
.
Don't run and hide behind that smile,
Don't turn your back, if you hate to be alone
Maybe it's right to think
We deserve better
If we try we'll find many reasons why
Though we're not alike
We still feel the same things
The same things
We don't have to give up,
we don't have to change
If we understand
The same things
Don’t believe in me coz I don't
Think
that I can stand to fail you
I don't think I'll ever meet the expectations
Don't try to be somebody else
I love you for who you are
If only you would see you through my eyes
Maybe it's right to think
We deserve better
If we try we'll find many reasons why
Though we're not alike
We still feel the same things
The same things
We don't have to give up,
we don't have to change
If we understand
The same things
Don't, just don't
Don't give up on yourself
Don't, just don't
Don't give up now
Don't, just don't
Don't give up on yourself
Don't, just don't
Don't give up now
