Solace

Some things happen when I'm quiet
I feel my skin and everything
is amplified
something’s here when I am calm
the wind will always whisper of their call
but there is solace
in the quiet
and in a tree
and in the leaves
and in a drop of water
but there is solace
in the books
and in thought
and in a wave
the presence of another
so there is solace in light
and there's solace in the running of the tides
so there is solace in light
and there's solace in the passing of the time
so they whisper all the same
I know I won't remain
and I'll be gone
I don't know where
some things change but
some will stay the same
circles everywhere
I see the geometric pattern
repeat until it's gone
but there is solace
in the quiet
and in a tree
and in the leaves
and in a drop of water
so there is solace in light
and there's solace in the running of the tides
so there is solace in light
and there's solace in the passing of the time

You and I
what a great beginning
You and I
in the dark
Where are the times we shared?
the days without a care
I was reading at the mall
you were the tallest of them all
Where are the times we had?
the castles in the air
I'm keeping everything alive
All this time we were feeling high as the sun
we were feeling so strong
You would say
You and I - we can never go wrong
I was biting my tongue
Summer nights fading
Life got complicated
You and I
what a run
Still I miss the times we had
The nights the sound the air
I was reading de Beauvoir
you were writing songs on the guitar
Where are the times we shared
the days without a care
I'm keeping everything alive
All this time we were feeling high as the sun
we were feeling so strong
You would say
You and I, we can never go wrong
I was biting my tongue
I can always take a look back
We were young we were on our way
I can always take a look back
Like a tape rewind replay

Superman

I am pretty nervous
they say
bad dreams come in circles
they’re heavy on my mind
I'm no superman
I'm a girl with an iron mind
I can play pretend
with one little lie
thought I'd take a stand
I choose to be fine
I'm no superman
I'm a girl with an iron mind
but no superman
I am pretty nervous
they say
bad dreams come in circles
but they left with the dawn
that night
I knew where the call
was coming from
I'm no superman
I'm a girl with an iron mind
I can play pretend
with one little lie
thought I'd take a stand
I choose to be fine
I'm no superman
I'm a girl with an iron mind
but no superman
I'm pretty sure I
made a big bad mistake
my chance was blown
before I even could be brave
I don't need an action plan
oh I choose my favorite weapon
a strong mind is
hard to break
I'm no superman
but a girl with an iron mind
I can play pretend
with one little lie
thought I'd take a stand
I choose to be fine
I'm no superman
I'm a girl with an iron mind
but no superman

Souvenirs

Look out at the world that brings
you up here
where the world will sink
in front of your eyes
I’m gonna be your guiding arrow
pave a path that you can follow
I’m gonna stow my days in boxes
full of what I loved the most
make the past my sleeping pillow
and I lay myself to sleep
Oh sometimes I feel you pass
float like an echo of yourself
sometimes I feel like me and you
we are the souvenirs
dust, collect and keep them
hide them inside
clear up in the attic
keep them alive
dust, collect and keep them
what are we trying to buy?
what are we trying to heal?
Oh sometimes I feel your touch
warm on the surface of my skin
sometimes I feel like me and you
we are the souvenirs
we are the souvenirs
we are the souvenirs
we are the souvenirs

Mother

Mother I will get your coat
soon we will be out the door
wait until the years have gone
Mother I will try to grow
some of us are carrying each other
some do need to be apart
some of us depending on each other
they’ll need a home
Oh mothers
let your daughters
take flight
oh mothers
let your daughters
take a little time
Mother I will try my best
so I better can understand
things are passed on through our bones
we'll repeat the thoughts we know
some of us are carrying the burden
of the need to be ok
some of us are running round in circles
we’ll need a home
Oh mothers
let your daughters
take flight
oh mothers
let your daughters
take a little time
to take flight
