Little Miss Chatterbox
The world’s not out to get you
You’re gonna be alright
I really think you might
You let me win in chess
Cause you know it means nothing
The world is a mess
And you feel no need to impress
You decorate your house with books
Plants, lights and notebooks
A Sanctuary for the soul
It helps the heart feel whole
You open up to me
There’s a troubled history
I listen patiently
To the one that needs to breath
Little Miss Chatterbox
I’m happy to be with you
To listen to your ways
To have some brighter days
Little Miss Chatterbox
The world’s not out to get you
You’re gonna be alright
I really think you might

Suburbs
02:39

Mean people, busy streets
Competitions, bare feet
Forest fires, new hires
Falling trees, always busy
The suburbs made us crazy
They never could foresee
That raising children in such a quiet place
Would only launch them further into space
Making friends with ourselves
Feeling weird, needing help
Riding bikes, eating salads
Summer nights, writing ballads
The suburbs made us crazy
We never could foresee
That growing up in such a quiet place
Would only launch us further into space

Song for Latvia

We live among the tress
And that is all we need
Nothing else to bring
We have it all
We’re free
Every day is the same
We go to work and play
The game that we made
We call it
Live for today
Love was built right here
Right here before your time
Was near the house we built
With stone so our aching bones could
Live among the peace
That is all we need
Nothing else to be
We have it all
We’re free
We live among the trees
The stable family
Providing love and care
To those who breathe Latvian air

There’s a point to your concern
When all the lights outside your window
Become a blur
Your father was raised
In the darkest days
And we know the weight of that world
Directly runs in the family
You used to say things will be okay
But that’s not the point anymore
There’s more to this war
You breathe empathy
And cancelled your dreams
And fought against the scene
Unaware that you wrote a story
Disagreements feel so significant
In the heat of the moment
I am reminded
Every time the tides would rise
And overflow their banks
Your love always finds a way

Vacuuming up the sparks
As they come into your life
And you’re telling me
There’s no need to worry
Swimming through your problems
Like a small baby turtle
Pretending everything is fine
Cause you’re so immortal
You’ll never feel alone
As I do
But you’ll probably never know
The truth I see in you
It’s perfectly construed
I will go my own way
And you can do the same
But you’re an actress
Playing the lead in this play
And I will gladly blend in
To the background out of frame
While you continue
To dominate the game
The sweetest voice
That calms all the pain
Is the one that you
Installed inside my brain
If only it was real
The heart, my dear
Without fear
You will steal it by ear

We met a few months ago
And I’m still used to being alone
It’s nothing to do with the way that you Behave
I’ve got work to do
It’s not that I don’t love you
I just struggle to feel
The things I’ve been through
Is a numbing ordeal
If you find that offensive
I will understand
If I get defensive
I’ve done everything I can
I desire your touch
And you mean so much
I can’t get enough of you
But now I see a little more clearly
I don’t fit on the page you read
It’s not that I don’t love you
I just struggle to feel
The things I’ve been through
Is a numbing ordeal
If you find that excessive
I will understand
If I’m over-expressive
You’ve seen enough of who I am

I wish I was better at basketball
And I wish I could start conversations at all
Without being so anxious
And I wish I was better being a good friend
And I wish the nights in the summer would never end
Until then at least we can pretend
There’s always time to spend
On the things that we really need to fix
But why does it feel so nice to pretend
That our problems don’t exist
They don’t exist
They don’t exist
They don’t exist
I wish I was better at living it up
And I wish I was better at feeling
Like an emotionally stable grown-up
And I wish that I wasn’t always
Stuck in the future
And I wish that I didn’t immediately
Turn everything that I see
Into dark humor
There’s always time to spend
On the things that we really need to fix
But why does it feel so nice to pretend
That our problems don’t exist
They don’t exist
They don’t exist
They don’t exist
I wish I was better at expressing myself
And I wish that I could see the way
That you see the world and the way
That you see yourself
And I wish I was better at being the example
That I needed and would have appreciated
When I was younger and much more able
There’s always time to spend
On the things that we really need to fix
But why does it feel so nice to pretend
That our problems don’t exist
They don’t exist
They don’t exist
They don’t exist

The universe is testing your strength
While you count down the days
Till the moon shines bright enough
To begin your new journey
Centuries ago
Our ancestor’s home
Was taken away for good
And they did everything they could
To provide you a future
One with dreams to speak reverently
With planets, stars and the moon
Whenever you feel alone
They’ll sit right there with you
Some may say they think you’re insane
They’ll question your point of view
And it’s all part of the same truth
That we tell ourselves daily
Even though you study alone
And strive to connect the dots
The answer you get tells you
To untie the knots
The universe is testing your strength
And you want it this way
Cause the moon will come back around
And give you a new day
