It's only life

Tears are forming in your eyes,
a storm is warning in the skies,
the end of the world it seems,
you bend down and you fall on your knees,
well get back on your feet,
don't look away, don't run away,

baby it's only life,
don't lose your faith,don't run away,
it's only life.

you were always playing hard,
never could let down your guard,
you can't win, if you never give in,
to that voice within, saying pick up your chin,

baby let go of it,
don't look away, don't run away ,
baby, it's only life.
don't lose your faith, don't run away,
baby it's only life.

take your hesitance, and your self defense,
leave them behind, it's only life,
don't be so afraid of facing every day,
just take your time, it's only life,
i'll be your stepping stone, don't be so alone,
just hold on tight, it's only life,
oh..don't look away, don't run away,
baby it's only life.



Too much in my head to get it out in writing. So here's another song for you. Kate Voegele is the artist, beautiful voice, beautiful song.

Staring into space

The waves kept hitting the beach,
and she stared into the sea.
On the horizon she could see the ships pass by,
searching for another harbour to anchor in.
She could picture the men on the ships,
staring back at shore just like she was staring toward them.
The sun was setting, and water was burning.
The colours were playing out there,
while the breeze kept blowing her hair around.
She kept staring into eternity.
Because there was nothing else she could do.
There was no where else she could go.
And as the sun disappeared,
the darkness krept closer,
and the stars showed their pretty faces.
She moved her gaze from the sea to the sky,
not knowing what she was searching for.
All she knew was that she wasn't leaving,
for she had no where to go.

Life of a student

I put down my pen,
I look at the watch.
And I realise that yes,
now I am truly free.



In other words, exams are over. And it's time to sleep.

Facts

Sometimes people put up walls, not to keep others out, but to see who cares enough to break them down.

An old favourite

What would you say if I asked of you
- out of loneliness, out of loneliness
What would you say if I asked of you
- out of loneliness, out of loneliness
Could I be with you
Can I be with you

It's warm inside the night club
Your face is lit up by a disco light
I don't want to go home alone, not tonight
I have a picture of a man who used to sit in that chair
I will go anywhere
Just as long as I'm with someone
You will do, just take me home for tea

If I told you my stories and sang you my songs
Would you laugh at me
Would you pity me
What would you say if I asked of you
Not out of accident, out of loneliness
Would you shelter me
Will you shelter me

I will be gone when you wake up
No awkward breakfasts, I swear
And don't you look for me, because I could be anywhere
In someone else's house
In someone else's arms
With someone else to warm the pain away

What can I ask of you
What would you want from me
What would you say if I just fell asleep

So, I'm in the middle of exams and therefore my spotify is constantly running. And a song from the past came on. A song I have listened to over and over and over and over again, but not for a long time. I have been reminded how amazing all of their songs are. Hello Saferide that is. They heal my soul.

It is what it is

It is what it is.
Have you ever wondered what's behind someone's eyes?
The man queuing behind you in the grocery store.
The girl walking fast with a sad look.
The old lady struggling to walk while glancing toward the sky.
The boy running back and forth because he has too much energy.

Have you ever wondered what your dreams really mean?
You wake up, realsing you've just left a different world behind.
You close your eyes, trying to force it back, but it's impossible.
It was just a dream.
And that's when one, lonely tear comes.
At the moment you realise dreams are not real.
They are what they are.
Dreams.

Have you ever had your life shattered into tiny, tiny pieces?
One day the phone rings, and you can't do anything but listen.
That's when you know that no matter what,
life goes on.
If you for one second thought that it would stop, stop for you, you were terribly wrong.
It goes on. For better or for worse.
You don't get a break from life.
It is what it is.

A never ending walk.
Or atleast that's how it used to look like.
Now it's a winding path amongst the unknown.
It is what it is.

Translation

The darkness around you makes the stars shine brighter.

Maybe I'm getting old..

And so it was that time again.
The bed is covered with piles of different sorts.
The head is full of thoughts.
Waiting for the day it becomes normal.
It never happens.
Always the same when time runs out.
Here I stand, wanting to mix two worlds.
Impossible wish,
hopeless hopeing.
Time to head home, which in itself is not difficult.
The difficulty sets in when you're leaving home,
at the same time.
Maybe I'm getting old.
But the excitment of having two homes,
two worlds far away from each other.
It gets harder and harder to understand,
to see the point.
Maybe I'm getting old,
maybe I'm just getting sick of it.

Facts

It's amazing to realise that even when you're gone most of the time,
you're not forgotten. Instead, you're included and thought of.
I hope you all know how much that means.

Happy New Year

It's a strange feeling. Saying good bye to a year and greeting yet another one.
They just keep going. And for some reason this midnight is supposed to be different than others.
To be honest, it isn't that different. It's just another day in our not so normal lives.

But in true new years spirit I guess I should sum up the year.
But I won't.
I'll just say that on average, it was pretty good. Might even have been more than that. Yes, it's been a good year.
