Jana Cohen - No one else

I want to, one day,
live up to the love
that you taught me

as in dancing around
wildly in the kitchen
for no reason at all

rolling on the floor
laughing weird image
makes the best sense with you

I know, you know, you know
I know, you know, you know
you know me too
like no one else
like no one else
like no one else

No matter what
we made us work
through fears and highs
shared every chapter

the train rides and fuckups
the tears and the laughter
our silhouettes and echoes collide
low or high tide

I know, you know, you know
I know, you know, you know
you know me too
like no one else
like no one else
like no one else

Sharing our secrets in
one million phone calls
little girls dreams

concerts and heartbreaks
you’re warm solid ground
whenever the earth shakes

you have a front row seat
reserved in my simple heart
I’ve got you, you’ve had me
right from the start, right from the start

I know, you know, you know
I know, you know, you know
you know me too
like no one else
like no one else
like no one else

Jana Cohen - No walls

The water in this river runs
faster than I do
I am walking slowly
contemplating what to do

I am waiting on myself to grow
as the days keep passing by
I know that I got lost somewhere
I just can’t remember why

It’s like I have
no walls
no walls
no walls at all
every little thing
hits me
hits me
hits my heart

Brown and golden leaves are
covering the ground
with every gentle step i take
i Like the crackling sound

The sunbeams highlight this or that
while i just sit and stare
some branches or a spiderweb
i can‘t be everywhere

It’s like I have
no walls
no walls
no walls at all
every little thing
hits me
hits me
hits my heart

I can’t be everywhere... (no walls...)

Jana Cohen - Morning Song

Em Am

Eyes open after a

starry cold night

my body so heavy

with old pain inside

My heart's pounding

Like a volcano

that slowly erupts

can't swallow, can't move

I feel trapped

Bm A

Fear and weakness are

coming for me

I feel faint, I black out

can't you see

Em Am

A new morning for me

A new morning for me

i can't breathe

A new morning for me

Em Am

These Pictures of Horror

creep down my spine

this tightness won't leave

this body ain't mine

Im staring at the ceiling as

the walls start to shift

coming closer and closer

my sanity drifts

Bm A

Fear and weakness are

coming for me

I feel faint, I black out

can't you see

Em Am

A new morning for me

A new morning for me

i can't breathe

A new morning for me

Jana Cohen - See it all

I wish I was there with you
I wish I could look you
in the eyes
and tell you where you
see imperfection
is where all your beauty hides
And I always feel honoured
anytime you open up
and let the curtain fall
I want to see it all

I hope that you always knew
I hope that you always knew
your place, your place in my deepest heart
is steady and safe
And I’m always
gonna come there
anytime I need a breath
And when I think I’m gonna fall
I want to see it all

I want you to know I’m here
I want you to know
that I will stay
Whatever you ask I’ll try
I’ll even go away
And if our bodies change
we get wrinkles and grow old
If we’re trembling
and If we fall
I want to stay to see it all.

Jana Cohen - Visitors

 Hey you strong one over there
the weight of the world on your shoulders
has it been getting too much to bear?
You sweet scared self-centered being
can we share?
relax, you’re not alone, just hang in there

This planet is light and heavy
at the same time
It’s unresolved and beautiful
and it’s neither yours nor mine
we’re all just visitors
and we are trying
we’re all just visitors
and we are trying

You’re yearning for solutions
and for clarity
but you’re crying your eyes out so hard
that you can barely see
let’s be kinder with each other
while all here comes and goes
i know you wanna solve this
but noone really knows and…

This planet is light and heavy
at the same time
It’s unresolved and beautiful
and it’s neither yours nor mine
we’re all just visitors
and we are trying
we’re all just visitors
and we are trying

The world is watching us struggle
and dance, calm and from afar
there is no judgement, just reaction
it is watching as we are
frightened or fighting
or swimming with the tide
can we change together
and also still enjoy this ride?

This planet is light and heavy
at the same time
It’s unresolved and beautiful
and it’s neither yours nor mine
we’re all just visitors
and we are trying
we’re all just visitors
and we are trying

The weight of the world
is carrying itself
just like it always did
and you and me,
we’re here now,
and we’re a part of it.

This planet is light and heavy
at the same time
It’s unresolved and beautiful
and it’s neither yours nor mine
we’re all just visitors
and we are trying
we’re all just visitors
and we are trying

we’re all just visitors
and we are trying
we’re all just visitors
and we are trying

Jana Cohen - Color of the rain

So this is a new day
feels like everything changed
well the sun shines as always
but I’m on my way

The train leaves the platform
one very last gaze
I’ll remember the good times
all of that stays

But tonight
the truth changed
and the color of the rain
I need to protect me
is all that I’m saying

Tears stream down my face, oh,
what have I done
I still feel it’s the right thing
I love you, I’m gone

Now the open road and empty days
unfold in front of me
I’m scared as hell, I’m trembling
and free

Cause tonight
the truth changed
and the color of the rain
I need to protect me
is all that I’m saying

It’s the right thing
it’s the right thing
it’s the right thing to do
I am leaving tonight because
I love me and you

'Cause tonight
the truth changed
and the color of the rain
I need to protect me
is all that I’m saying
Is all that I’m saying.

Jana Cohen - Waves

For so long I held on to hope
while I felt trapped
You felt like I was pushing you
and I felt like you held me back

I couldn’t find the strength in me
to open up my eyes and see
this hurts us both
and I should leave

So throw me into
the deep blue water
watch me swim
the waves
they have been calling me
and I was listening

On and on and on
I let them carry me home
On and on and on
I let them carry me home
where I belong. oooh.

It took a while to understand
that I really had to go
I guess I knew but well sometimes
It’s just not enough to know

The weight that we were carrying
it felt familiar to me
and to let go of it
I chose to leave

So throw me into
the deep blue water
watch me swim
the waves
they have been calling me
and I was listening

On and on and on
I let them carry me home
On and on and on
I let them carry me home
where I belong. oooh.

Remember all the fights and how hard
we tried, we couldn’t make it right

And when I look back at what we had,
I’m still grateful for that.

oooh...

Jana Cohen - Polaroid

Come on, come on, let‘s do something
that we‘ve been dreaming of

I thought that i was sick

But well i haven‘t had enough

Lets go a few more rounds
Around the sun on our boat

And paint these little stars here,

Little stars here while we float

We see sticks and stones
And mountain tops

All kinds of crazy silhouettes
colours full of sand
and dusty rain sounds like
our old tape decks

And i hold you in my arms
im leaning onto you
nowhere i would rather be
nothing i would rather do

Should‘ve, i should‘ve told you
should have told you right away
nothing weird or funny that you do
could ever make me go away

Bellybuttons air balloons
a fire by the sea
will this lousy polaroid
help us to hold on to you and me

And the loads we pulled aside
to make the other ones heart lighter
sure you do wanna go on
but you don‘t call yourself a fighter

And i hold you in my arms
im leaning onto you
nowhere i would rather be
nothing i would rather do

Hey, is this new furniture
you threw the old stuff out
you know, i liked the comfy pillows
the curtains kept us from the crowd

From the rooftop i can hear birds singing
or maybe from a tree nearby
i know you are my kind of someone
i made you applepie

I‘ve seen you dance in corridors
of hospitals and schools
dark may fit with someone else
but it doesn‘t go too well with you

And i hold you in my arms
im leaning onto you
nowhere i would rather be
nothing i would rather do

And i hold you in my arms
im leaning onto you
nowhere i would rather be
nothing i would rather do

Jana Cohen - Joshua

Can you hear the birds sing
hey let‘s sit down in the shade

while they elegantly spread their wings

What do you think they say?

The wind is blowing softly
through my soul and through my hair
I wanna keep this calm in me
and take it everywhere

I can’t find the right words
to describe just how I feel
well maybe that doesn’t matter
and maybe I never will
oooh...

This landscape here is holding us
it is a warm embrace
some of the things I thought were lost
do now fall into place

These rocks we climb have been here
forever so it seems
still they change and get transformed
just like our hopes and dreams

I can’t find the right words
to describe just how I feel
well maybe that doesn’t matter
and maybe I never will
oooh...

Let’s stay a little longer
in this place, it cures my wounds
let’s just sit and stare and listen
to natures tunes
oooh, oooh...

Jana Cohen - Lately

(Kapo 4. Bund)

Lately I was wandering 

and i watched the falling leaves

when suddenly a calming warmth 

came over me

took my hand as if nothing

and we kept walking on

over the hills

beneath the trees

mhmmm mhmmm mhmmm…

I can feel the truth 

of things I only knew

in my head

now in my heart, too

surrounded by the winds

and the rivers of this small town

i steadily walk on

every step feels like home now

mhmmm mhmmm mhmmm…

I’ve been longing for

this emptiness

I didn’t want more

I only searched for less

This small path

of stones and mud

the rain 

and the sun

oh I have arrived 

I could forever walk on

mhmmm mhmmm mhmmm…

Jana Cohen - Rest

I am running, running, running

and then I am paralyzed

I am counting, counting, counting

days that just pass me by

Because all is too much
it all goes too fast
I can’t even breathe
and none of this lasts

So let me stop
and count the thoughts
that like lightning shake my head
I want to lie down on a meadow
And let soft green be my bed
And let the birds here sing my lullaby
just let me rest here for a while

I am checking, checking, checking
these messages while I walk
I am missing, missing, missing,
love, to just listen to you talk

And while we are here
we think of there
I want to take some time
to really care

So let me stop
and count the thoughts
that like lightning shake my head
I want to lie down on a meadow
And let soft green be my bed
And let the birds here sing my lullaby
just let me rest here for a while

Just let me rest here for a while.

Jana Cohen - Snow

I sit here and I try
to figure out the patterns of

the snowflakes

passing by

I watch them with a mildness
that i sometimes miss
oh when this world scares me
I want to come back to this

And oooh, I want to learn
from the roots of the trees
and from the snow
when to hold on
and when to let go

They are leaving traces
and of some we’ll never know
why and where they are

They dance their little dances
and then they carry on
who knows what’s lost or won?

And oooh, I want to learn
from the roots of the trees
and from the snow
when to hold on
and when to let go

And now some coffee
or a fire to warm my hands
Winter reminds me that it’s ok
that all things end
Winter reminds me that it’s ok
that all things end.

Jana Cohen - Here

Intro: F C F C G (2x)

F C F C G (2x)

it was a warm autumn day

when i first noticed that you

were drifting away

we sat on that same old bench

and just like an icy breeze

i felt the wrench

F C F C G

but nothing is ever mine

and nothing is yours

that's an illusion

there is no line

F C F C G

there's no hello and there's no goodbye

there's no belonging and no lullaby

there is no past, no future my dear

as long as we're here

as long as we're here

oh, oh, oh, oh

F C F C G (2x)

i catch myself making plans

like we often do when we know

a chapter ends

but id rather just be with you now

i'll figure the rest out later

when you're gone, somehow

F C F C G

and as i stare at my shoes

i remember you saying

there's nothing we could ever lose

F C F C G

'cause there's no hello and there's no goodbye

there's no belonging and no lullaby

there is no past, no future my dear

as long as we're here

as long as we're here

oh, oh, oh, oh

F C F C G (2x)

the last days were pretty intense

and sometimes i felt like none of this

makes any sense

but as you're leaving i try to let go

i'm incredibly thankful we met

and i tell you so

F C F C G

and i think that

now that you're gone

I'll have you in my heart

all the time

and go on

F C F C G

there's no hello and there's no goodbye

there's no belonging and no lullaby

there is no past, no future my dear

as long as we're here

as long as we're here

oh, oh, oh, oh (2x)

as long as we're here

oh, oh, oh, oh

as long as we're here

Jana Cohen - Nothing

C Am F C

when the sun

hits your face

and you know you're in the right place

for one moment

you forget

all the trouble that you had

they are dancing in the wood

they remind you of feeling good

F C (4x)

and oh, and oh, and oh, and oh,

Em

you're alive

C Am F C

so you walk this

road alone

in harmony your

heart of stone

with the wind you

let it go

you give a fuck 'bout

what you know

and the wind blows oh so wild

maybe these are your

eyes of a child

F C (4x)

and oh, and oh, and oh, and oh,

Em

you're alive

C Am F C

you arrive now

don't look back

just remember

it's nothing that you lack

it's nothing that you lack

it's nothing that you lack

Jana Cohen - Blanket
