Mother and Daughter

Sitting in your garden, talking 'bout politics

Kinda grown up, but I still feel like a kid

Snow on the ground, but you're telling me it's spring

No one wants the sun more than you do on your skin

And you still keep my room the way I left it

Even though it always was a mess

And all the revolutions that I started

You made me think that I could change the world

I don't have time to put my head under water

Riding the wave about as long as I can

You know what they say about a mother and daughter

There's no way to break us, nobody can take us

But I'm still afraid they can

It's tough for women in a family of only men

You always have to put your own needs after them

Makes sense, your mother was the smartest in her class

But if you don't have the money, you better start working fast

Thanks to you, I've grown into a fighter

You taught me to be proud of every bruise

And if I ever dare to have a daughter

I swear, I'll try my best to be like you

I don't have time to put my head under water

Riding the wave about as long as I can

You know what they say about a mother and daughter

There's no way to break us, nobody can take us

But I'm still afraid they can

I wanna have time

Give me more time

A little more time

Just give us some time

I wanna have time

Give me some time

I wanna have time with you

But I'm still afraid they can
