I love this song.

We do all pay the piper in the end.

- Susan

[verse]
I'm stepping out
you stepped away again
and it's been too long
so I am not waiting again

I'm stepping on
I am on a mission
to get in the groove
of being alive again

I'm stepping out
no limits on me
I will do what I want
whatever comes to me

set me free...

I'm stepping on
it's about damn time
I gave us enough tries
and even though it's not goodbyes

it's until you revive it
and then we will see
where we stand

I'm stepping out


[chorus]

I've been the good girl
played by the rules
I spent many years 
alone like a fool

It's high time
I had my time
doin whatever I felt like

We all pay the piper in the end

[ musical interlude]


[verse]

We had a run
you can't pretend 
I did give it time
let you make amends

You stepped away
in oh so many ways
I was like a rock
but now this stone is moved
I am goin for a cruise
and a tumble

[Refrain]
The stream of consciousness says
I gave it high time
and now it's my time

[musical interlude]

[verse]
I am stepping out
You always told me I could
Like it was yours to grant
Even though at that time 
I could not contemplate
My heart was yours

But now, it's just too damn late

I'm stepping on
and I have no idea where it will take me
My mind has wandered lately
And my heart is on hold

I'm stepping out
I will be bold


[verse]

Time waits for no man
Energy builds and its
Impossible to dam 

You can put a damper 
on your hopes and your dreams
but after a time it seems
You are waiting on pipe dreams
and empty promises


I'm stepping out
to find what I need

In time maybe you will rejoin me


[chorus]

I've been the good girl
played by the rules
I spent many years 
alone like a fool

But it's high time
I had my time
doin whatever I feel like

We all pay the piper in the end

[guitar solo]

I'm stepping out
to find what I need

In time maybe you will rejoin me


[chorus]

I've been the good girl
played by the moral rules
I spent many years 
alone like a fool

But it's high time
I had my time
doin whatever I feel like

We all pay the piper in the end

[Outro]
[vocals fade]


I'm stepping out
to find what I need

In time maybe you will rejoin me

[Refrain]
The stream of consciousness says
I gave it high time
and now it's my time


[Chorus]
I've been the good girl
played by the rules
I spent many years 
alone like a fool

But it's high time
I had my time
doin whatever I feel like

We all pay the piper in the end


steppin out

steppin on

steppin on

[End]
