Try to understand. just try. but dont try too hard

Vienna - Billy Joel

Slow down you crazy child
you're so ambitious for a juvenile
but then if you're so smart, tell me
why are you still so afraid?

where's the fire what's the hurry about?
you'd better cool it off before you burn it out
you've got so much to do
and only so many hours in a day

but you know when the truth is told..
that you can get what you want or you can just get old
you're gonna kick of before you're even
get halfway through
when will you realise? Vienna waits for you

Slow down you're doing fine
you can't be everything you want to be before your time
although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight..
tonight..
too bad but it's the life you lead
you're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
though you can see when you're wrong, you know
you can't always see when you're right. you're right

you've got your passion, you've got your pride
but don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true.
when will you realise? Vienna waits for you.

Slow down you crazy child
and take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile
it's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realise? Vienna waits for you

and when you know the truth is told..
that you can get what you want or you can just get old
why don't you realise? Vienna waits for you
When will you realise? Vienna waits for you

in comemoration of my words
the words i shall never speak, the words to offer my bosom,
my touch, my care and concern. true, sometimes,
you just need to relax, chill out and you know, that you've
always got somewhere to run to.

"a pragmatist, a rationalist who didn't give due credit to the
influence of emotions and pent up sentiments"

used to describe a political leader.. but how so true is it,
when applied in description of myself and probably,
all of the rest of us out there.
but you should know, beneath the strength, always lies
a greater weakness.. the stronger one appears to be,
the weaker he is inside..
Why? why is HE so soft now? When HIS life had been
a hard one to live?

That's cause he had gone insane, insane due to his
everchanging viewpoints of the different connotations
of love.. Intimacy; a by-product of love,
this was never his thoughts, never when his heart
sunk from the defeat of unconditional love.

now, he will try it once more..
for he has felt that god was no longer with him..
and he has choosen to forgive himself
and ask god to once again forgive him,
to stay with him. in his quest to find this
belief in emotions and thus, love once more.

'respect her being, honour her purity'

he shall stand by these words.
i promised to be there, i promised i will stay.
but will you allow me to fulfil my promise?
and always remember, no one can be blamed,
for loss of relationships, so i command unto
thee, to be free of all things that prove
to be hindrances, and proceed onwards
as your heart commands. it pains to ignore
the heart. =D

when will you realise? Vienna waits for you
