Stepping Out

[Verse 1] Click of the door Key on the table Old map folded Lines feel fatal Lipstick crooked Heart still able One deep breath I cut the cable [Pre-Chorus] Every little habit saying “stay” Every old echo in the way But my skin’s on fire for something new I’m stepping out of what I knew [Chorus] This is the new way I choose Slide out the past like a dress on the floor Body to body with truth I’m not that girl who keeps running back for more Hands in the dark I move Into the heat of a life I can’t lose I’ve been afraid to refuse Now I’m turned on by the new way I choose [Verse 2] Heels on the pavement Slow Sweet danger Eyes in the mirror Learning a stranger Laugh in my throat Tastes like freedom I write my name In the place I lead from [Pre-Chorus] Every little story saying “wait” Every old promise out of date But my pulse goes wild on every beat When I feel the future under my feet [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] Hot like a fever Rising in my veins I’m not your good girl Breaking off the chain [guitar solo Chorus chords] [background female singers Airy] New way I choose New way I choose [lead vocal returns Sultry] I arch into all this risk ‘Cause it fits me like your kiss [Chorus]
