Work-ache

I'm getting too old for teenage insecurity
Sitting by the phone waiting for them to call me
Checking them out on the internet
Checking my e-mail when I come out of bed
Too old for strange feelings in my stomach
Reject me straight away, don't make me ache
Looking for a job is like falling in love with a man:
Are they gonna call or am I never gonna here from them again?

Twenty-six

There's no answer to doubt
I just have to wait and see
Cause I can't figure it out
What's best for me

I wish I knew what to do
I wish life was simple
Cause I can't choose
If I feel that either way I'll lose

I thought 26 meant it would be clear
There would be nothing to fear
I would have a house and a career
But I'm not even near

Whatever

When will I know what I feel?
Everything I thought, is not.
If I appeal to this
Will I lose everything I've got?
Maybe I forgot who I was without you
I was someone, you know.
Maybe all I've got
Is being part of two.
Cause I haven't thought about what I want.
Even though it seems like I've forced it upon you.
At least, so it feels.
It feels like you never had an opinion, until you had mine.

99% yours 1 % mine

You think you know me
And you do very well
But that one percent you'll never see
Can surprise you if you don't act carefully
That one percent
Can turn the other cheek
Wants to be independent
And can live without a boyfriend
If I have to

Stalling

Stalling,
I think your middle name is stalling.
There ain't a thing you do without delay.
Cause it always feels OK to wait another day
Or two or three
Falling,
In the end all you'll do is falling
I will slap you in the face
But the next time you'll do it the same way
Cause you're too blind to see

If I don't do a thing there's nothing

Mr. T

These are times in which I am reminded,
how nice it was that you were blinded
You gave me a 101 percent
You went where no other man ever went,
not even my current

4,5

Four and a half years at a slow pace
You'll turn 30 at your folks' place
I wanna move on with or without you
Dedication takes two
If I stop, there will be nothing left of us
Cause there's nothing you do

Mediocre man (about my workplace)

This town ain't good enough to stay
But not bad enough to leave
You only leave for holidays
It's not what you dreamed you'd achieve
This job is not where you thought you'd end
When you're drunk you say you'll leave your girlfriend
And that you were meant to be someone different
But you'll work it out in the end
After so many beers
You talk about getting a career
But you'll probably never get out of here
Cause it takes courage and you live in fear
Where are you gonna go?
If there's a whole world out there you don't know?
You're just a mediocre man
You always talk about your plans
But you'll never leave this place
It's nice everyone knows you
If you don't fight for that career or that raise
You won't get rejections too
It's safe your girl will never leave
You don't have to prove yourself to anyone
There's nothing you have to achieve
If you're willing to be no one
And just be a mediocre man

In my head

In my head
I have all these fantasies
Like Hollywood movies

In my head
I make up great stories
Hoping to change reality

Waiting for opportunities
Waiting to win the lottery
Waiting for the day I can fully be me

Nick Drake - Pink Moon

I know your every mold
Your favorite CD
That you like salami
Nothing left to unfold

How you pick your clothes
The books you like to read
When you like to smoke weed
The way you pick your nose

I know your every move
I know what you feel
When to keep my lips sealed
Cause there's nothing left to prove

Unfortunately

London

You and I could be perfect symmetry
You and I could be beyond meant to be
It's strange how much I know about you
And you don't know anything about me

You could be the solution for all my mistakes
With you everything that's wrong will turn out right
With you I can start with a clean slate
The only thing I need is a chance by fate

Doubt

If I give up now,
Is there anything I can really fight for?
Or will I always give up when things get tough?
Is it just a phase?
Why am I thinking it is, for so long?
I hurt myself when I say I'm not sure enough.
I've never been this far,
I took some irreversible steps already
All I can do is wait and see what I am made of.
