Winona Oak - Mother and Daughter Lyrics

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 underwater
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 a woman 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 underwater
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

But I'm still afraid they can
