Solace

Some things happen when I'm quiet
I feel my skin and everything
is amplified
somethingās 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

Souvenirs
04:09

look out at the world that brings
you up here
where the world will sink
in front of your eyes
Iām gonna be your guiding arrow
pave a path that you can follow
Iām 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?
we are the souvenirs
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

Superman
03:54

I am pretty nervous
they say
bad dreams come in circles
they are 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
and they left with the dawn that night
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

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
theyāll 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
weāll need a home
oh mothers
let your daughters
take flight
oh mothers
let your daughters
take a little time
to take flight

Light

we really play it cool
nodding off in the sun at the hotel pool
we soak it in
and the desert heat is burning on my skin
you look so pretty in polarized vision
canāt get enough
weāre on a mission
oh we are so electrified
oh you and me and the open sky
so you could be the prince
with a tin foil crown
Iāll be the queen of our small town
all the world is painted by
weāre light
we overspent
and my head is spinning like a ceiling fan
we play it cool
till our mood get heated like the swimming pool
the way you turn your head
like a child
your eyes
gazing into mine
oh we are so electrified
oh you and me and the open sky
so you could be the prince
with a tin foil crown
Iāll be the queen of our small town
all the world is painted by
your light
baby thereās just nothing in this world
that makes me go crazier than feeling Iām not heard
Iām sure about this one
maybe weāll be sharing all our might
and rule this kingdom
maybe weāll be fading side by side
I think we will be light
so you could be the prince
with a tin foil crown
Iāll be the queen of our small town
all the world is painted by
your light

Ocean
03:44

waves collide and every hope is gone
ropes and sails are weathered by the storm
Iāll be your ocean
lead you in the dark
give you all the love
Iāll be the shade
when the light gets in
Iāll be your ocean
lead you in the dark
give you all the love
Iāll be the cool when the fire sets in
sink no more I feel that we've arrived
such a pretty sight to soothe your eyes
I'll keep your head above the water
hold you like a child or like a lover
I turn to you when you are on the rocks
Iāll keep the flood away
so you can dance
Iāll be your ocean
lead you in the dark
give you all the love
Iāll be the shade
when the light gets in
Iāll be your ocean
lead you in the dark
give you all the love
Iāll be the cool when the fire sets in
hundreds of feelings of swirling emotion
Iāll keep you safe
be your ocean
Iām keeping you safe
I wonāt let you down
Iāll be your ocean
lead you in the dark
give you all the love
Iāll be the shade
when the light gets in
Iāll be your ocean
lead you in the dark
give you all the love
Iāll be the cool when the when the fire sets in

People at Parties
03:51

I know I'm ahead of time
spheres of glass
I know we won't last
I ask again
I'll lose a friend
weāre late for the party
the beat is on
we bring along our
good intents from past years
we're dancing in circles
I feel weāre out of touch
we're people at parties
smiling way too much
like stars in a movie
weāre in and out of love
do people at parties
know when itās enough?
I know I have told a lie
I spilled my wine
to leave the place and hide
the sentiment of losing friends
daydreaming of past years
please no sincere apologies
I canāt afford to cry here
we're dancing in circles
I feel weāre out of touch
we're people at parties
laughing way too much
like stars in a movie
weāre feeling high and low
do people at parties
smile just for the show?
our faded stunned faces
glow in the strobe light colours
oh golden days
I know that times have changed

Polaroids

you and I
in photos
colours faded
life in polaroids
all the thoughts of us
coming through in waves
I let them go by
who were we then?
you and I
what a great beginning
life in polaroids

Golden Hour
04:47
|

|
golden hour
just before the day turns into hazy clouds
Iāve been waiting for this kind of blue
how do we know weāve had
enough time on this earth?
fading flowers
itās just too much
but we are blooming worlds apart
weāre electrified by human touch
how do we know weāve had
enough time on this earth?
time to fall
to write
to grow a turn in silence
and to hear you out
your terrors and your kindness
and to part our ways
with nothing on our shoulders
in the here and now we count
all of the hours
of the hours
so do you find you have
enough time for yourself?
time to pause
to run
for keeping and forgetting
leaving chores undone
for pushing and for letting
all the thoughts go wild
second guessing
and to save and count all
of the hours
of the hours
of the hours
of the hours
