Holding On

just when i was
about to give up
things kept falling around me
hope was gone

but i'm starting to see
rays of hope
coming through
the gloomy skies

should i give up now
or hold on for
a little bit longer
than i expected

it is a gamble
but i guess
i have to take my chances
nothing's written in stone

i can hang on and keep my chin up
but it's an uphill battle
when you are so close
and yet so far away

Time Out

what am i doing
i ask myself
but i hardly get an answer
and i'm happy with that

howcome i'm happy
without knowing what i'm doing
maybe i'm happy being confused
rather than having to take sides

i tell that i'm done with love
but why do look for romance
i tell that i'm back doing one nighters
but why have i skipped those nights

i'm saying no to commitments
i'm saying no to flings
maybe it's just that
i need sometime for myself
