Calm Down
Revolver Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Calm down lover of mine
There ain't much time to wait before the ecstasy
You know when I'm alone
I think of you on me and it makes me happy

Calm down everyone
There ain't much time to wait before we all leave
I know a place upon where
We'll be able to live and feel much more happy

You know it looks like
You know it feels like
It's like a dream

Calm down friends of mine
There ain't much time to wait before we see the sea
You know it's the first time
We go there all together it must be happy

You know it looks like
You know it feels like
It's like a dream

Calm down lover of mine
There ain't much time to wait before the ecstasy
You know when I'm alone
I think of you on me and it makes me happy

You know it looks like
You know it feels like
It's like a dream

Calm down everyone
There ain't much time to wait before we all leave
I know a place upon where
We'll be able to live and feel much more happy

You know it looks like




You know it feels like
It's like a dream
