Viënna
Gretta Ray Lyrics

Slow down, you crazy child
You need to relax and not rush through life.

You're so ambitious for a juvenile
You have a lot of drive and energy for someone so young.

But then if you're so smart
Since you're intelligent and capable,

Tell me why are you still so afraid, hmm?
why you are still scared of making mistakes?

Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
Why are you always in such a rush?

You'd better cool it off before you burn it out
You need to slow down before you exhaust yourself.

You've got so much to do
You have a lot of responsibilities and tasks.

And only so many hours in a day, ayy
But you have a limited amount of time to accomplish everything.

But you know that when the truth is told
However, you know that the truth is,

That you can get what you want
you can achieve your goals.

Or you can just get old
Or you can let time go by without accomplishing anything.

You're gonna
You will eventually

Kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh
Regret not accomplishing everything you wanted to do before you die.

When will you realize
When will you understand

Vienna waits for you?
That there is still time to enjoy life and everything it has to offer?

Slow down, you're doin' fine
You're doing well, but you need to slow down and enjoy it.

You can't be everything you wanna be
You can't accomplish everything you want to in life.

Before your time
Before it's too late.

Although it's so romantic
While it may seem romantic

On the borderline tonight, tonight
In this moment right now.

Too bad but it's the life you lead
It's unfortunate, but it's the way you're living your life.

You're so ahead of yourself
You're always thinking about the future.

That you forgot what you need
You've forgotten what's truly important.

Though you can see when you're wrong
You can recognize when you've made a mistake

You know you can't always see when you're right
But you don't always appreciate your own successes.

You've got your passion
You have something you're passionate about.

You've got your pride
You have your self-respect.

But don't you know
But you should realize

That only fools are satisfied?
That only people who settle for less are truly satisfied?

Dream on
Keep dreaming

But don't imagine they'll all come true, ooh
But don't expect all your dreams to come true.

When will you realize
When will you understand

Vienna waits for you?
That there are still experiences and opportunities that await you if you take the time to enjoy them?

Slow down, you crazy child
Once again, you need to slow down and rest.

take the phone off the hook
Disconnect from all distractions

And disappear for a while
And enjoy some alone time.

It's all right, you can afford
Everything is okay, you can take a break

To lose a day or two, ooh
And take some time off without worrying about wasting time.

Why don't you realize
When will you understand

Vienna waits for you?
That life can be more fulfilling if you take the time to enjoy it before it passes you by?

When will you realize
When will you understand

Vienna waits for you?
That there is still time to slow down, enjoy the present, and appreciate the world around you?
