about

An upbeat song about self-love, feeling really good about everything, and inflicting that joy on everyone around you. Written after shaving my head and being surprised by how good I looked, and upon having bought a pair of cranberry chuncky heeled sandals with bows on the toes which I loved at the time but wouldn't be caught dead in now.

lyrics

My new shoes are not red
The box they came in said Cranberry quite clearly
When I walk in them well I don't stumble I don't stumble I don't stumble

I got a new favourite song
And I know all the words I know them start to finish
When I sing along you can hear me all up and down the block I live on

Chorus:
Got nothing left to hide behind I left it lying on the bathroom floor
I look into my eyes and see that I'm a goddess I'm a goddess I'm a goddess

I got a new crush and it's you
It's just a fun crush a friendly crush don't fear it
But I will give you love and I'll sing about that love to anyone who'll listen

I'll take you to my secret place
You and I can go drinking
And we can sit up high all night and watch the world revolve
No one can see us there and we in turn are all knowing
And if we see the winds of change we'll command them
To do our bidding

Chorus

Tonight there's something in the air
It could be magic or maybe it's just pollen
But on nights like these I'll dance anywhere and I don't care who sees me

I feel like lighting a fire
A grand inferno just so I can hear it crackle
If it burns too low I'll stomp on the embers with my cranberry heels

And we'll stay out until we're falling down then
You can sleep over at my place
You can have the nicest pillow and I'll lend you my pajamas
In the morning when we get up you can shower
And I'll make you breakfast
It'll have a lot of fat in it because
Fat is what makes food delicious

Chorus
