Song lyrics by Soulla Christodoulou
Hello! This week I’m sharing something quite personal with you… I wrote the lyrics to a song a few years ago — back in November 2008 — when I was having a really hard time. My marriage had broken down, I was working full-time to support my three young sons and my efforts to connect with someone, to have a relationship, was exhausting me. Ii think the words in this song will resonate with many of you and so if you’re hurting right now, or feeling down, I hope my story will inspire you because I’m in a very different place now. You will find someone or something to fulfil you the way your deserve.
What’s it all about
All this rushing in and out
All the ups and the lows
Are we friends or are we foes
Friends or foes…
Waking up next to you is the best feeling ever
But it just does not happen often enough
Life takes over and tomorrow is never
The situation just gets unbearably tough
What’s it all about
All this rushing in and out
All the ups and the lows
Are we friends or are we foes
Friends or foes…
Having your strong arms around me
Makes me feel safe and helps me believe
That we are against all odds meant to be
But when is the time coming to me to relieve
What’s it all about
All this rushing in and out
All the ups and the lows
Are we friends or are we foes
What’s it all about
All this rushing in and out
All the ups and the lows
Are we friends or are we foes
Friends or foes…
Waiting for you to turn up on time
My heart is aching my skin is tingly
I’m in a tizz, a sure sign
That we are not to be each singly
We should just go with it
We should just take a shot at it
No excuses, no wrong time
No wrong place, no video mime
What’s it all about
All this rushing in and out
All the ups and the lows
Are we friends or are we foes
All the ups and the lows
Are we friends or are we foes…
Just tell me…tell me…
Be straight with me
What’s it all about
All this rushing in and out
All the ups and the lows
Are we friends or are we foes
What’s it all about
All this rushing in and out
All the ups and the lows
Are we friends or are we foes
If there are any musicians out there I’d love to hear from you. Perhaps we can bring this song alive with some beats!
Anyway, until next week, stay safe and well.
With much love, Soulla xxx
