lyrics

I’m taking my time
Just as long as I can see what’s on my mind
Till I finally find me in my place
In my own pace
So long to go before I ever know

I’m taking my time
And it seems to be no waste of any kind
I am sure that all will solve in the end
To some extent
Nothing to lose if you don’t ever choose

My perfection won’t allow me start off anyhow
Not as long as I’m not sure

I’m taking my time
As the years fly by
Still I’m wondering why
I’m taking my time
While my youth is missing
Life’s taking my time
Am I missing my life
Or is life just missing me?

I’m taking my time
And I only seem to live one paradigm
Of postponing life till I will grow up
You won’t grow up
Nothing to win if you don’t ever choose to begin

“Piano, bass and drums – I don’t think I really need any other instruments!” said Erk when he started back in 2003. Since then he has evolved his sound and music, but still keeps it simple! ... more
