Doctor Victor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hmm, hmmm-mmm
What's wrong, young one?
Are you drowning in expectations?
Life's long, young one
You're destined to mess something up
'Cause each of us is a bit broken

So go on and have your fun
Feel the freedom while acting dumb
Chase after the setting sun

We'll laugh about it later when we're older, older (ah-ah)
We'll laugh about it later when we're older, older (ah-ah)

Keep on, young one
Not supposed to know where we're going
Just run, young one
You'll soon reflect upon these problems
And respect what you've overcome

It's a game, so have your fun
On the sidewalk, stumbling home
With your friends all singing your song
In the morning, chase after what you want

First go to sleep and beat the sun
Many turn out to be wrong
Worried reach, you'll never know about love

We'll laugh about it later when we're older, older (ah-ah)
We'll laugh about it later when we're older, older (ah-ah)

When we think the world is over
It's coming to an ending




You look back when you're older
It was only the beginning

What’s wrong, young one?
Are you drowning in expectations?
Life’s long, young one.
You’re destined to mess something up,
Cause each of us is a bit broken.

So go on and have your fun,
Feel freedom while acting dump.
Chase after the setting sun.

We’ll laugh about it later when we’re older,
Older, hmm...

Keep on, young one.
Not to pose to know where you’re going.
Just run, young one.
You’ll soon reflect upon these problems
And respect what you’ve overcome.

It’s a game, so have you’re fun,
On the sidewalks stumbling home.
With your friends all singing your song,
In the morning chase after what you want.
First go to sleep and beat the sun.
Many turn out to be wrong.
Well we do never know bout love!

We’ll laugh about it later when we’re older,
Older, hmm..

We’ll laugh about it later when you think the world is over, it’s coming to an ending,
You look back when you’re older, it was only the beginning...

I’m not a native speaker so I’m sorry for possible mistakes.. ❤️

Der liebe Gott hatte einen verdammt Guten Tag. Bei dem Mann stimmt alles. Talentiert, gut aussehend, aber vor allem sympathisch und bodenständig 👌

@mikamom8444

Passt einfach alles. Song. Video. Let's Dance. Überaus attraktiv.
Aber was mich am meisten fasziniert: dieses Gesamtpaket und hier: unfassbar sympathisch, bescheiden, familienorientiert, immer freundlich, null arrogant, nicht blöd.
Das ist es, was beinahe unschlagbar macht. Das ist absolut selten und deswegen mögen ihn alle.
Ich wünsche ihm nur das Beste. Ein SuperMensch.
