1. It's a bright new day
full of possibility
I'm on my way
got new responsibilities
Gonna start over fresh
to the best of my ability
Make new friends
try some new activities
Aw, who am I kidding?
2. It's a cold dark night
drowning in my loneliness
I'm giving up the fight
trapped here in my only-ness
I haven't found a friend
to help clean up my mess
I'm the same as I was
but I feel like less
You know I'm not kidding
Chorus
I don't know how to start over
I did it once but I had help
Now I sit here alone
Living on my phone
I don't know how to start over
Bridge
Don't tell me it's so easy
Don't say I'll be OK
Just come back here & help me
I'll follow if you show the way
Chorus

Punk Rock Drummergirl

1. Her face is full of piercings
her hair is green and spiked
and if you try to cross her
she might just pick a fight
She takes out her aggressions
on her cymbals and skins
but if you show respect
she might just let you in
Chorus:
And then the punk rock drummergirl
has got your back (x 3)
Show her some respect
and she'll cut you some slack
2. With her hair spiked up
she might hit five foot two
but don't call her cute
and don't ask her “What are you?”
“She looks kinda Asian”
“She looks kinda Black”
and if you don't show respect
she won't cut you any slack
Chorus
And then the punk rock drummergirl
Won’t have your back (x 3)
Show her some respect
and she'll cut you some slack
Bridge:
Don't let her size fool ya
she's no dainty thing
she can pound out the beat
while guitars and voices ring
you want her on your side
you want what she can bring
don't let her size fool ya
she's a powerful thing
Chorus

Summer Girl

1. She's got eyes
like the summer sky
Sunlight in her hair
Sunshine in her smile oh my
And she's so strong
swingin' on trapezes all day
and if you turn on the sprinkler
she'll run outside to play
Chorus
She's a summer girl oh yeah
summer girl
summer girl oh yeah
summer girl
summer girl oh yeah
summer girl
2. High school queen
Cinderella at home
Walkin on eggshells
Longin for a chance to roam
Secret tears
For her painful past
Now she’s dreamin of her freedom
And bustin’ out at last
Chorus
Bridge
She's got wounds and bruises
but she never lets 'em show
puts on a pretty mask
so no one will know
When the storm clouds gather
and she's standing in the rain
She lifts her face to the drops
and lets 'em wash through her pain
3. Now she's a star
shining in the sky
She's high up in the air
and she's learning how to fly
She's so strong
doesn't need a mask today
If the rain pours down
She'll run outside to play
Chorus

1. In fall oak leaves turn color
Red at the lip, at the edge
Lipstick red, outside in
Fireworks at the end
The trees were turning color
when Grandad passed away
she played the way he taught her
just to get through the day
Ch. And the leaves were wearing her lipstick
as summer turned to fall
The leaves were wearing her lipstick
as summer turned to fall
2. Grandad placed her fingers
showed her how to fret the strings
He taught her to pick and strum
He helped her learn to sing
He taught her to play labor songs
he taught her to play jazz
he taught her all the basics
and then some razzmatazz
Chorus
Br. His guitar became a part of her
she kept it with her all day long
She played the way he taught her
and spent her grief in song
Chorus
