I'm not going on 30. No, not just yet (But I'm telling you kids, it's fast becoming as dreadful, as they say, for me), but here's one song from that Jennifer Garner movie that really struck something inside me.
This is Vienna, a song by 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 better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do and only
So many hours in a dayBut you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want
Or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
When will you realize…Vienna waits for youSlow 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 got your passion you 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 realize
Vienna waits for youSlow down you crazy child
Take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
It's alright you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize…
Vienna waits for you.And you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want
Or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
Why don't you realize…Vienna waits for you
When will you realize…Vienna waits for you
Not exactly dreaming about the city, though. Oh, well, story of my life. Surely to echo in my head for days to come - "You can get what you want or you can just get old."
