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 no bad days can take us But I’m still afraid they can It’s tough for a woman in a family of only men You always had 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 no bad days can take us But I’m still afraid they can I wanna have time Just give me some time I wanna have time With you
