LYRICS BY LISA MARIE HEITMAN-BRUCE

Found your love letters in his dresser drawer,
Looks like he read them many times before
The ink is fading, but I can see
You loved him once, just like me

I see the photos that you left behind
How you’re frozen with him in that time
You are his past, the ghost in the room,
The reason I don’t wear that same perfume

You were his storm, wild and divine,
I’m just the calm that came with time.
Your love wasn’t wasted, can’t be erased
Sometimes you’re still the smile on his face

Your words are soft like threads of silk,
When I read them, I feel some guilt.
I don’t judge the dreams you had
But I’m happy you found another man

He kept your letters, memories to hold,
Of a fleeting passion, the depths it drove.
And we are not so different, you and I,
Both caught in the sweetness of a lover’s sigh.

You were his storm, wild and divine,
I’m just the calm that came with time.
Your love wasn’t wasted, can’t be erased
Sometimes you’re still the smile on his face

I wonder if you ever knew,
How much of you would linger through.
Love doesn’t vanish, it shifts, it sleeps,
It holds onto the ones it cannot keep.

You were his storm, wild and divine,
I’m just the calm that came with time.
Your love wasn’t wasted, can’t be erased
Sometimes you’re still the smile on his face

I’m just the calm that came with time
Ohh I gotcha now
Ohh I gotcha now
I’m holding on
Holding on

You Were His Storm

LYRICS BY LISA MARIE HEITMAN-BRUCE

Some women dream of diamonds that sparkle in the light
They want the latest fashion, that hugs and hangs just right
Perfume that whispers Paris, big house upon a hill
Money flowing freely, just buying for the thrill

First-class flights, oh, the jet-set life
Fine dining under chandeliers, a silver spoon and knife
Vacations on the Riviera, with yachts that gleam and glide
But me, I want the kind of man who can move my world tonight

Give me a man with power, glorious power
Who can harness his fears and stand like a tower
No cash can compare, no jewels outshine
I want the man who makes the stars align
I want a man in his finest hour
Give me a man with power

Some women crave the sweet allure of pearls and pure gold
A wardrobe dripping luxury, their stocks bought and sold
They want a life that’s seamless, wrapped in satin bows
Their world a shining stage, in a spotlight glow

Private jets with leather seats, champagne in every glass
An endless string of parties where the elite amass
But none of that can thrill me, none of that can be
What it means to watch a man hold the universe for me

Give me a man with power, glorious power
Who can harness his fears and stand like a tower
No cash can compare, no jewels outshine
I want the man who makes the stars align
I want a man in his finest hour
Give me a man with power

Let others chase the glitter, the riches, and the fame
I’ll take the man whose strength can carry a mighty flame
His presence shifts the heavens, his words can turn the tide
With him I am invincible, a queen by his side

Give me a man with power, glorious power
Who can harness his fears and stand like a tower
No cash can compare, no jewels outshine
I want the man who makes the stars align
I want a man in his finest hour
Give me a man with power

So take your pearls and castles, your velvet and your lace
I’ll take the man who conquers, who leaves the world amazed
Power, glorious power, oh it’s the sweetest thing
I don’t need money baby, I want a king

Power

LYRICS BY LISA MARIE HEITMAN-BRUCE

I see you running through mountain fields,
big dreams, hands up to the sky.
You burned brighter than the sun,
you never knew how far you’d fly.

You told secrets to the moon,
your questions carried to the stars.
You thought you were small,
you couldn’t see how fierce you are.

My wild heart still remembers you,
the fearless girl who lived through storms.
You are in my every breath,
I still feel you in my bones.

I know you feared the empty halls,
Your voice was quiet in the dark.
You hid your heart under a cloak,
You didn’t know it’d be a spark

Here I stand with weathered hands,
my face a map of all your plans
I am an ember, you were the flame
you’re still the fire inside my veins

My wild heart still remembers you,
the fearless girl who lived through storms.
You are in my every breath,
I still feel you in my bones.

You were the one who had to begin
You could not see how it would end
Each step felt like such a fight
you never knew it would be all right

My wild heart still remembers you,
the fearless girl who lived through storms.
You are in my every breath,
I still feel you, you in my bones.

My wild heart still remembers you,
the fearless girl who lived through storms.
You are in my every breath,
I still feel you in my bones.

My Wild Heart

LYRICS BY LISA MARIE HEITMAN-BRUCE

Kiss me at midnight…
Kiss me at midnight…

Kiss me at midnight,
Kiss me at midnight.
I think I ate the poisoned apple,
Pricked my finger on the needle.
I walked into the woods alone,
Lost the breadcrumbs back home.

Kiss me at midnight,
Kiss me at midnight.
Why is everything so strange?
Can your kiss bring me back again?

Kiss me at midnight,
Kiss me at midnight.
I followed the lights past the clearing
Talked to wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Wore a shoe that seemed to fit—
Had no plan after the prince.

Kiss me at midnight,
Kiss me at midnight.
Tell me where’s my fairy tale?
Could it be that it’s not real?
Make the lunches, catch the train,
Buy the cupcakes for school again.
Pay the bills, return the calls,
Patch the plaster on the breaking walls.
Do the shopping, check the prices,
Try to budget through the crisis.
Sign the forms, file the taxes—
Carry every weight that cracks us.
Hold it together, don’t complain,
Smile politely through the pain.
Keep the deadlines, keep the peace—
Glue it together piece by piece.
Fix the schedule, feed the cat,
Lose the battles, swallow that.
Clean the kitchen, fold the clothes,
Do double work ‘cas he never shows
Chase the milestones, pay the fee,
Late for life perpetually.
Fuck all the fairytales I read
I’m just trying to keep my head.

I think I ate the poisoned apple,
Pricked my finger on the needle.
I walked into the woods alone,
Lost the breadcrumbs back home.
I followed the lights past the clearing
Talked to wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Wore a shoe that seemed to fit—
Had no plan after the prince.

Kiss me at midnight…
Kiss me at midnight…
Kiss me at midnight…

Kiss Me At Midnight

LYRICS BY LISA MARIE HEITMAN-BRUCE

I know you said
You don’t want to
Hear from me again
You found someone
Who makes you feel
Better than I did

You said you
Would never think of me
Again
I was the hardest part
Of your life back then

I was hard to love
Never gave you enough
And yet ooh ohh ohh

Standing across from you
Just walked in the room
Catch my breath, hold my tears
I still love you
Oh I still love you
After all these years

I know I said
I don’t want to
Take your calls again
I have someone
Who makes me feel
Happier than you did

I know I said I
Would never think of you
Again
You were the hardest part
Of my life back then

You were hard to love
You never gave me enough
And yet ooh ohh ohh

Standing across from you
Just walked in the room
Catch my breath, hold my tears
I still love you
Oh I still love you
After all these years

I could break promises for you
No telling what I could do
You look at me like that
It all comes rushing back

Standing across from you
Just walked in the room
Catch my breath, hold my tears
I still love you
Oh I still love you
After all these years

I could make it hard for you
But I’m not going to
Just don’t look at me like that
It all comes rushing back

Standing across from you
Just walked in the room
Catch my breath, hold my tears
I still love you
Oh I still love you
After all these years

After All These Years

LYRICS BY LISA MARIE HEITMAN-BRUCE

The table’s set, the candles low,
I feel that chill — it’s time to go.
Your laughter whispers through the door,
But baby, it don’t live here no more.
I raise my hands, I bow my head,
I talk to love like it ain’t dead.

Oh, I tried to hold on, Lord, I did my best,
Now I’m learning to live with the emptiness.
Happy New Year, you beautiful mess,
You tore me down, but I confess —
I still got love in this broken chest,
Oh, happy New Year, you beautiful mess.

The time is gone, the world spins
I still feel you beneath my skin
I used to cry when midnight came,
Now I just whisper your name
’Cause love don’t die, it just changes form,
It breaks your heart, then keeps it warm.

And I know I’ll rise, oh yes I will,
’Cause a heart like mine can’t stay still.

Happy New Year, you beautiful mess,
You taught me pain, but I felt blessed
I know it makes no difference

Say, love is mercy —

Mercy’s mine!

Say, time is healing —

Give me time!

Say, hearts keep breaking —

But this one shines!

Oh yes it shines!

Now the dawn is breaking through,
A brand-new light, a brighter hue.
I learned to live, I learned to stand,
Got my soul back in my hands.
Happy New Year, you beautiful mess,
I’m still standing, nothing less.
The world keeps turning — I’ve been blessed,
Happy New Year, you beautiful mess!
Happy New Year, baby…
You beautiful, beautiful mess…
Yeah, I still love you —
But I love me best.

You Beautiful Mess

LYRICS BY LISA MARIE HEITMAN-BRUCE

The rain was falling up,
So I wore umbrellas on my feet.
My cat began to speak but said
She had nothing to say to me
Stars were swimming in the ocean,
Drifting close enough to reach.
Every house turned rosy pink,
With flowers taller than the trees.

And I know I went to sleep
On an ordinary street,
But when I opened up my eyes
Nothing is the way it used to be.

I think that you’re to blame,
Now nothing looks the same.
You said you loved me
Before I fell asleep,
Now I’m living in
The strangest dream.
I think that you’re to blame,
Now nothing feels the same—
You said you loved me
Before I fell asleep,
And it’s changing everything…
The strangest dream.

The wind carried fortune cookies;
Mine said, “You don’t need more luck.”
My head grew big, my hat wouldn’t fit,
A bumblebee said, “Don’t get stuck.”
Tea danced with the sugar
Singing, “Darlin’, aren’t you sweet.”
Then the Royal Mail arrived
With Tiffany lamps at my feet.

All the letters on the signs
Said I was on the right street,
Your name was written in the sky
It said you are mine to keep

I think that you’re to blame,
Now nothing looks the same.
You said you loved me
Before I fell asleep,
Now I’m living in
The strangest dream.
I think that you’re to blame,
Now nothing feels the same—
You said you loved me
Before I fell asleep,
And it’s changing everything…
The strangest dream.

The birds played tiny pianos
And when I began to float,
They painted constellations
On the back of my raincoat.
Now my clock is talking
A voice that sounds like mine:
“You’re going to be late,
You’re running behind
For your place in Time…

I think that you’re to blame,
Now nothing looks the same.
You said you loved me
Before I fell asleep,
Now I’m living in
The strangest dream.
I think that you’re to blame,
Now nothing feels the same—
You said you loved me
Before I fell asleep,
And it’s changing everything…
The strangest dream.

La da da da da da da
La da da da da da da
La da da da da da da
Oh the strangest dream.

You said you love me…
You said you love me…
In the strangest dream.

Strangest Dream

LYRICS BY LISA MARIE HEITMAN-BRUCE

Was it my good luck to find you
I can’t keep my mind off you
I wanna take it slow
But I’ve gotta know

Who do you love (who do you love)
Who do you love (who do you love)
Who do you love (who do you love)
Or are you free free free
Are you free to love me (love me, love me)

Every little sign you give
Feels like a reason to live
But I don’t wanna fall too fast
If you’re still holding on to your past

Do you think of me at night
When the world fades out of sight?
Because I will be standing at your door
Oh I can’t hide it anymore

Who do you love (who do you love)
Who do you love (who do you love)
Who do you love (who do you love)
Or are you free free free
Are you free to love me (love me, love me)

I don’t need promises, I just need truth
If your heart’s open, I’ll run to you
But if there’s someone still in your way
Say the word, and I won’t stay

Who do you love (who do you love)
Say it out loud (say it out loud)
Who do you love (who do you love)
Or are you free free free
Are you free to love me (love me, love me)

Who Do You Love

100 Metres Away

LYRICS BY LISA MARIE HEITMAN-BRUCE

You snore like thunder, I still smile,
We’ve shared this bed a fair old while.
You mumble things, I let you be 
Half our dreams are history.
I make the tea, you check the news,
We argue soft on different views.
It’s choreography, well-rehearsed,
But darling, it still works.

And if you ask, am I still yours?
I’ll shrug and say, of course, of course.

’Cause we’re still cool, love 
In our quiet way.
Not the swooning, charming
Heart-on-display.
Just two old souls
Who chose to stay.
Still cool, love 
Still us, today.

Your jumper’s worn, your jokes are old,
Your heart is warm, your feet are cold.
You hum that tune you always miss,
I still lean in, it sounds like bliss.
Your eyebrows went rogue, it’s really not bad,
We laugh, it’s tragic, you grumpy old lad.
We’ve outlasted taste and passing trends,
We’re lovers, housemates, nearly friends.

’Cause we’re still cool, love 
In our quiet way.
Not the swooning, charming
Heart-on-display.
Just two old souls
Who chose to stay.
Still coolMaybe this is how it ends 
No grand finale, just old friends.
You reach for mine, I take your hand,
And there we are, the promised land.
We’re still cool, love 
In the quiet light.
You joke, I laugh,
And all’s alright.
No need for youth,
No games to play 
Still cool, love 
We stayed that way.

We're Still Cool Love

We're Still Cool, Love

LYRICS BY LISA MARIE HEITMAN-BRUCE

I was walking past the houses on Northcote Street,
Where each window was framed with its own little light;
All my joy had a label, every heartbreak still swinging,
And howling as wild as the Highland winds at night.
I wasn’t trying to conjure the past or its meaning—
I got what was given, not what I was seeking.
You never asked for forgiveness or offered redeeming—
Like headstones on Harrow it no longer holds meaning

My memory is like an old gallery off Bridge Street,
Where the rooms breathe and the shadows compete;
Where my heart keeps time with a faltering beat,
And my past bows its head and just shuffles its feet.
All the women I’ve been, and the ones incomplete,
Rise with me softly, still so shy and discreet,
And I walk with them all, though we never quite meet,
We hang on the walls like the gallery off Bridge Street.

I kept walking that corridor lined with old warnings,
Where the plaques told the stories I tried not to read;
I passed through the evenings, the ruptures, the mornings,
All catalogued neatly, each kept to fill some need.
I wasn’t looking for comfort or any forewarning—
I knew every exhibit would circle, repeat.
Nothing asked to be touched, nothing called for my mourning—
Just rooms of artifacts the daylight keeps scorning.

Some were cold as old kirks midwintered
Others flickered warm as a half-open door
Some I thought dead had quietly simmered,
Waiting for a last chance to rise once more
And the glass caught my face in its aging splendor—
A stranger, a witness, a thief, a report.
All the selves I abandoned, the ones I surrendered,
Stood arranged like a verdict in a crumbling court.

In one frame my past world stirred in its tincture,
In another I saw a truth I once swore was a lie;
In one I was running, a blurred little picture—
In another I was climbing but I never knew why.
I wasn’t looking for mercy, just stood like a fixtu
Nothing I asked for, nothing I wish to repeat.
I have already lived every little misadventure—
Now I wait in a chair wrapped tight in defeat.

My memory is like an old gallery off Bridge Street,
Where the rooms breathe and the shadows compete;
Where my heart keeps time with a faltering beat,
And my past bows its head and just shuffles its feet.
All the women I’ve been, and the ones incomplete,
Rise with me softly, still so shy and discreet,
And I walk with them all, though we never quite meet,
We hang on the walls like the gallery off Bridge Street.

And I walk with them all, though we never quite meet,
We hang on the walls like the gallery off Bridge Street.

Gallery Off Bridge Street

The Gallery Off Bridge Street

LYRICS BY LISA MARIE HEITMAN-BRUCE

In the Highlands in the early spring
You called it love, or something close
Under the same old northern lights
I ignored the signs I noticed most
That summer you were careful
Like that ever helps at all
By the time the leaves were falling
You were already gone
You came back like nothing happened
Like you’d just been out of town
And I didn’t ask the questions
That would only let me down
There’s an ocean between our plates
Same old room, dinner at eight
Everything is right on time
Everything except our lives
I catch your eye, I give a wave
You look past me, I drift away
Hey how many people
Are sitting at our table
Entangled
Yeah, we’re entangled
Yeah, we’re entangled
We play chess without a board now
Every move is understood
Nobody’s allowed to win here
And nobody ever should
You don’t cross the lines I drew
I don’t ask where you’ve been
It’s amazing how well this works
If you don’t look too far in
I wonder if perfection
Is just knowing when to quit
Or if a flawless situation
Is one you never question
There’s an ocean between our plates
Same old room, dinner at eight
We pass the salt, we pass the blame
You don’t even say my name
I catch your eye, I give a wave
You look past me, I drift away
Hey how many people
Are sitting at our table
Entangled
Yeah, we’re entangled
Yeah, we’re entangled
I rode the train right through the stops
Where I used to think of you
I didn’t miss your conversation
I guess that’s saying something too
I don’t think you think about us
At least not the way I do
And that’s okay, it’s not a crime
It’s just another truth
You say you won’t be late tonight
You say, “Hey everything’s fine”
We keep the books, we keep it fair
But you know I won’t be there
There’s an ocean between our plates
Same old room, dinner at eight
We sit and eat, say what’s to say
It isn’t very much these days
I catch your eye, I give a wave
You look past me, I drift away
Hey how many people
Are sitting at our table
Entangled
Yeah, we’re entangled
Yeah, we’re entangled
There’s an ocean between our plates
Same old room, dinner at eight
Think we’re going strong
But we know something’s wrong
I catch your eye, I give a wave
You look past me, I drift away
Hey how many people
Are sitting at our table
Entangled
Yeah, we’re entangled
Yeah, we’re entangled

Entangled

LYRICS BY LISA MARIE HEITMAN-BRUCE

Yeah I slept in my heels
Spent hours in the tub
Left you messages
To say I’m still in love

Wore my robe to the shops
Cried in aisle three
When it hit you’re not
Coming back to me

I think I’m feeling
Just a little psycho
They say hey
You gotta let him go

But I’m picking out
My wedding dress
Making lists of
Our wedding guests

When you left
I begged you to stay
When I cried you
Just left anyway

When I blocked
The front door
You just climbed out
My window

When I chased
Your car down the street
All the dogs just
Ran with me

It might have been
My all time low
But maybe I’ve got
Further to go

I watch romantic movies end
And they always end
With her lover
Coming back again

So maybe you just
Need more time
Or I will be waiting
Until I’m 99

They say I’m spiralling
And I agree
But I’m spiralling
In choreography

I’ll be OK I say
Now don’t you worry
I’m sure they’ll fine
A cure for me

When you left
I begged you to stay
When I cried you
Just left anyway

When I blocked
The front door
You just climbed out
My window

When I chased
Your car down the street
All the dogs just
Ran with me

It might have been
My all time low
But maybe I’ve got
Further to go

I think I’m feeling
Just a little psycho
They say girl
You gotta let him go

But I’m dancing
In my wedding dress
Screaming at the bar
My life’s a mess

Further To Go

LYRICS BY LISA MARIE HEITMAN-BRUCE

Rode my Miss America bike on a gravel street
Swung on tires hung from spruce trees
Skated under skies pink and red
Never heard what the newsman said
About the economy or foreign wars
I never read papers thrown at doors
Star Spangled Banner at broadcast end
The whole world would sleep back then
