She posted a pic on facebook of the lyrics of a song she is currently recording and writing, since it seems that the lyrics are in process too.

CLIP YOUR WINGS

You can go if you .... to go
But I don't .............
.........
.........

Past......clip your wings
.......
No, I'd never clip your wings
But I'll keep you....... cake (?)

You can be what you want to be
but I suggest you don't wonder ...
I can't quit.....
that I'll take you as you are

Past I'd never clip your wings
... to save you from memories (?)
No, I'd never clip your wings
But I'll keep you on your shelf (?)

You can go if you want to go

First verse

First whistle choirs

Please, correct these lyrics if any of you get something better than this.

a-ga

Hahahaha :D I liked your "cake" part :)

Here's my take.

You can go if you want to go
But I don't think that it's (wise?)
This is all you need to know
There's a darker place (outside?)

But I'd never clip your wings
... (state my case?)
No, I'd never clip your wings
But I'll keep you in my cage

You can be what you want to be
But I suggest you don't wander far
I can't give no guarantee
That I'll take you as you are

But I'd never clip your wings
Nor save you from yourself
No, I'd never clip your wings
But I'll keep you on your shelf

You can go if you wanna go

First verse

First whole chorus

Thanx Alex! The picture is not clear at all and the handwriting could be such a confusing thing from that perspective.
"I'll keep you in my cake" would sound terribly hormonal! but "the cage metaphore" is more polite I guess... We all know she's talking about her cake, don't we? ;) LOL

I wonder what does Nina think about our guess in her lyrics! She probably won't post anything else so far...
