time to drive
words & music denise marsa
time to drive
to the middle of nowhere
put the top down look at my options
oh it feels like I'm born again
no didn't see it coming
my friends say I live in a bubble
but the bubble's been busted open
but I'm not dying
I got my heart I got my soul
I've got my very first dream car that I ever bought
I've got my best friend from high school
and she’s never leaving
I've got a voice that's got to be heard
and if we have to hurt to save this world
then I guess it's best to say on this day
my little pain will fade away
time to drive
to the middle of nowhere
put the top down look at my options
oh yes I know I've been down this road before
is it any wonder
that this tide’s not keeping me under
and I know my greatest power’s
the hour that I rise
I got my heart I got my soul
I've got my very first dream car that I ever bought
I've got my best friends from high school
and they're not leaving (never)
I've got a voice that's got to be heard
and if we have to hurt to save this world
then I guess it's best to say on this day
my little pain will fade away
I've stood underneath the rain drops
and watched the sun rise the next day
I've jumped off the bridge when I should have crossed it
oh I've trusted oh how I’ve trusted
But I’ve got my heart…

A Lucky Heart

A lucky heart
words & music denise marsa
There are moments I roll out of bed
I shake my head I shake my had
It’s hard to know from day to day what will change and what will stay the same
You’re good for me and I’m good for you
we feel this everyday
neither one is running away
a lucky heart is a broken heart that
won’t give up until it’s spoken for
when all the rest left
we were standing tall
now we’re two lucky hearts
there are times I look at my life and question what I want and need
and there you were across the room calling out to me
we’ve never been so satisfied before
we’ve been on both sides of the closing door
You’re good for me and I’m good for you
we feel this everyday
neither one is running away

Steady
Words & Music by Denise Marsa
We could stand up tall proclaim love everlasting
We could lose it all and still we’d end up laughing
Sometimes only one thing really matters
Once you find that someone you’ve got to hold on
Yes my heart is steady in your hands
Could it be your love is all I need?
Take heed helpless newborn babies cry
The first day they breathe
Life may slow us down confusing our emotions
Our hearts will turn us around restoring our devotion
Sometimes only one thing really matters
Once you find that someone you’ve got to hold on
Yes my heart is steady in your hands
Could it be your love is all I need?
Take heed helpless newborn babies cry
The first day they breathe
Will you be there in my darkest hour
When my soul cries out for something to hold onto
And can I stand by you not beneath you but beside you
I’ll be there beside you keeping it steady
Yes my heart is steady in your hands
Could it be your love is all I need?
Take heed helpless newborn babies cry
The first day they breathe

You’re Wrong
words & music Denise Marsa
You’ve said we’ve changed we don’t want the same thing’
You said you’re scared we’re not going make it
you said I don’t know the pressure you’re under
you said we’re stuck we drive each other crazy
you’re wrong you’re wrong
you’re wrong you’re so very wrong
you said these days you don’t know how to please me
you said my life is better off without you
you said I don’t know how much you need me
you said my love is slowly dying
as you lay in our bed each night I know you’re not sleeping
can’t you hear me softly praying for us
and don’t you know I’d never leave you
you’re wrong you’re wrong
you’re wrong you’re so very wrong
we’re gonnna make it

Box
music & lyrics denise marsa
I’m ready
but you’re not
I’m still hungry
but you forgot
what it’s like to be desperate and treasure every positive day
I live in a jungle and you live in a cave
let ‘s put it in a box
tie it up with tape
kick it off a hill and watch it break
let’s put it a box
tie it up with rope
put it out to sea and watch it float
I trust while you hate
I may rush but you constantly wait
You’re so afraid to admit
We not the same but somehow we fit
let ‘s put it in a box
tie close it up with tape
kick it off a hill and watch it break
let’s put it a box
tie it up with rope
put it out to sea and watch it float
I’ll introduce you as my best friend and you have to promise all the secrets will end
You will come home and be there by my side
And if not I have only one choice but to hide
I’l climb in a box
tie it up with tape
kick it off a hill and watch it break
let’s put our differences in a box
tie it up with rope
put it out to sea and watch it float

Back to Arizona
words & music Denise Marsa
Going back to Arizona
Miss the smell of desert air
The big city took my breath away
And left me nothing to spare
I don’t fit in a box
I can’t stand in cage
Circles don’t move me like freedom and space still I stayed
For as long as I could
Yes the shade it felt good but the shadows got cold
the excuses grew old
and my face could not hide the disgrace
Let me go back to Arizona
When I came to the city
I was banking on wishful dreams
Worked so hard kept my focus
But too much work can wear at the seams
No I didn’t get high
To escape all the pain
I was hurting too deeply
So I carried the blame
Still I stayed
For as long as I could
Yes the shade it felt good but the shadows
got cold the excuses grew old
and my face could not hide the disgrace
Let me go back to Arizona

Live Forever
Words & music Denise Marsa
Well I’ve done some things wrong
And I’ve done some things right
And I don’t know why but I’m thinking about them all tonight
I made mistakes that I did not intend
And I’m sorry if I hurt you it was not what I meant
i'm not gonna live forever
my salvation's not the cure
got one hand reachin up for heaven
and one foot out the door
no i'm not gonna live forever
my confessions not secure
no I cannot lay me down just yet
no i cannot lay me down just yet
I tried walking on water
Judgment came so easy
Then I fell into the deep end
my reflection rescued me
sadly I was guilty
enough was never enough
you gotta love what you got
but you can’t hate what you give up
i'm not gonna live forever
my salvation's not the cure
got my hand reachin up for heaven
and one foot out the door
no i'm not gonna live forever
my confessions not secure
no I cannot lay me down just yet
no i cannot lay me down just yet
there were times I did not listen
there were times I could not see
someone held a candle to my face
the truth set me free
no I wasn’t lying down
i'm not gonna live forever
my salvation's not the cure
got one hand reachin up for heaven
and one foot out the door
no i'm not gonna live forever
my confessions not secure
no I cannot lay me down just yet
no i cannot lay me down just yet

Equal
Words and Music by Denise Marsa
When I was young I thought I could do anything
Growing up, I tried to hold on to my innocence
Dazed and confused by the hateful words I heard
Can’t people see the miracle in our differences?
We must stand tall
We won’t go away
They will embrace us
For we are equal
We are all equal
When you were young did people push you around?
Did you grow up thinking you had to defend yourself with a white picket fence?
Did you sit at your window gazing at the world?
Wondering if you would ever fit in
We must stand tall
We won’t go away
They will embrace us
For we are equal
We are all equal
There comes a time in every life when what people say doesn’t matter
Look at what history teaches us…a change is gonna come
We must stand tall
We won’t go away
You will embrace us
For we are equal
We are all equal

Anywhere But Here

Anywhere but here
I tell myself not to worry any day now things are gonna change
I see your face in the mirror
The doubt is starting again
So I walk tall when I feel small
And I talk soft when I want to scream
I just wanna be anywhere but here
I just wanna be anywhere but here
How did things get so heavy?
the silence is wearing thin
Friends are taking a back seat
while strangers are piling in
so I think short then I think
long till I just can’t think at all
I just wanna be anywhere but here
I just wanna be anywhere but here
I’m standing on shaky ground
Feeling the heat
Look im standing on my own two feet but does giving in
feel the same as defeat?
I just wanna be anywhere but here
I just wanna be anywhere but here

Need a dream
words & music denise marsa
I’ve been here
Well maybe not quite like this before
Seems like I finally have it all
But why does it feel like something’s still missing
we have a deep love A fine home
I'm Looking good
And that’s not easy to say
I’ve had a rough life I’ve had a sweet life
somehow I’m never home
Need a dream
Addicted to the dream Need a dream
To smooth out this bumpy reality
Addicted to the dream Need a dream
To smooth this bumpy reality
We’ve been here before
Well maybe not quite like this before
You think I will never have enough
But what is too much for you to bare
We have a deep love We have a fine home
Your looking good and that’s easy for me to say
We have our families
We have our burdens to share
But why am I always leaving home
Need a dream
Addicted to the dream Need a dream
To smooth out this bumpy reality
Addicted to the dream Need a dream
To smooth this bumpy reality
Close your eyes
Take my hand
I will lead you astray hey hey hey
What year is this
Where did all the time go?

“Bring Me Home”
Words & Music Denise Marsa
It seems my old priorities
Aren’t what they use to be
and I’m out here living on the edge
The nights are getting way too cold
the same routine is growing old
and no one knows that better than me
There’s nothing gained by something lost
cuz when you choose you always end up losing
Just a woman of flesh and bone
When we’re apart I’m so alone
You’re the one who stops me roaming
Hard to be a woman on the road
Do you count the days till I come home
You’re the one who brings me home
Bring Me Home
Bring Me Home
Baby Bring Me Home
It seems my insecurities
Aren’t the things pushing me
Sad to think of sacrifices made
The days are getting way too long
and I don’t know where I belong
and no one knows that better than me
There’s nothing gained by something lost
cuz when you choose you always end up losing
Just a woman of flesh and bone
When we’re apart I’m so alone
You’re the one who stops me roaming
Hard to be a woman on the road
Do you count the days till I come home
You’re the one who brings me home
Bring Me Home

DOG
words & music Denise Marsa
One man’s burden is another woman’s joy
And a means for transportation is another person’s toy
some say history makes the world spin round
when I think about my past my world turns upside down
if i could do it all again
if i could do it all again
if i could come back as anything or anyone
i’d come back next time
as a dog
i’d have my food waiting and i’d never compromise
i’d have a warm place to live and sleep and I’d never tell a lie
i would always listen and I’d never say a word
I could sit around for hours and not need to be heard
did you ever hear a dog gossip
or see one try to steal
they’re so happy just to see you
and they always care
and you know they’re always there
if i could do it all again
if i could do it all again
if i could come back as anything or anyone
i’d come back next time
as a dog
