The Quarter-Life Quandry

"I'm just a little bit
caught in the middle
Life is a maze
and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go
I can't do it alone
(I've tried)
and I don't know why

Slow it down
make it stop
or else my heart is going to pop
'cuz it's too much
Yeah, it's a lot
to be something I'm not

I'm a fool
out of love
'cuz I just can't get enough

I'm just a little bit
caught in the middle
Life is a maze
and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go
I can't do it alone
(I've tried)
and I don't know why

I am just a little girl
lost in the moment
I'm so scared
but don't show it
I can't figure it out
it's bringing me down
I know
I've got to let it go
and just enjoy the show

The sun is hot
in the sky
just like a giant spotlight
The people follow the sign
and synchronize in time
It's a joke
Nobody knows
they've got a ticket to that show
Yeah

I'm just a little bit
caught in the middle
Life is a maze
and love is a riddle
I dont know where to go
I can't do it alone
(I've tried)
and I don't know why

I am just a little girl
lost in the moment
I'm so scared
but don't show it
I can't figure it out
it's bringing me down
I know
I've got to let it go
and just enjoy the show

oh oh
Just enjoy the show
oh oh

I'm just a little bit
caught in the middle
life is a maze
and love is a riddle
I dont know where to go
I can't do it alone
(I've tried)
and I don't know why

I am just a little girl
lost in the moment
I'm so scared
but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
it's bringing me down
I know
I've got to let it go
and just enjoy the show

dum de dum
dudum de dum

Just enjoy the show

dum de dum
dudum de dum

Just enjoy the show

I want my money back
I want my money back
I want my money back
Just enjoy the show

I want my money back
I want my money back
I want my money back
Just enjoy the show"


Summed up nicely, Lenka.

P.S. These lyrics are from a song called "The Show" by Lenka, whose first album is being released in the US on Sep. 23rd. Check her stuff out, she's pretty nifty.

Indian Summer

Just 'cuz its starting to get colder and 'cuz Jason Mraz is hot. 


Hide or Seek

1...2...3...4...

I will not see things in just black or white.
Colorfast.
My world is more than hues of grey.
I embrace the spectrum of both night a day.

Become.

5...6...7...8...

I demand choice and
for it I want respect
I will speak my mind.
I cannot be silenced.

Listen.

9...10...11...12...

I have already started my trek,
please guide me and keep me company.
I will venture off your path sometimes
as my own intersects
Always a way back to-
place.
I love my country
(and yours).

Evolve.

13...14...15...16

I am not apathetic.
I have not lost hope in my generation
(or yours).

Acknowledge.

17...18...19...and a half...

My decision will be influenced.

20.

I am the future.

Ready or not, Here I come.
