Estella Dawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vienna waits for you
Slow down you crazy child
You’re so ambitious for a juvenile
But if you’re so smart
Tell me why are you still so afraid?
Where’s the fire what’s the hurry about
Got so much to do but only
So many hours in the day
There’s only
So many so many so many
So many so many so many
You know when the truth is told
You can get what you want or you can just get old
You’re gonna kick off before you even make it half way through
But when you gonna realize
Vienna waits for you
Vienna waits for you
Slow down
Woo you’re doing fine
Can’t be everything you want to be
Before your time
Though it’s so romantic
on the borderline tonight (tonight)
Too bad but it’s the life you lead
You’re so ahead of yourself
You forgot what you need
Though you can see when you’re wrong
You know you can’t always see when you’re right
That’s right
Passion, yeah you’ve got your pride
But don’t you know that only fools
Are satisfied
Dream on
But don’t imagine that they’ll all come true
When you gonna realize
Vienna waits for you
Vienna waits for you
Slow down
You crazy child
Take the phone off the hook and just
Disappear for a while
It’s all right
You can afford
To lose a day or two
Two
Vienna waits for you
Vienna waits for you
Take your time
I promise
Oh I promise you got time
Vienna waits for you
