Wait Your Turn

I wrote this song when I was 17, and it's interesting to see what I was feeling back then. This song was written for the first incarnation of Vienna Circus in January 2005. I've always been proud of this song.

WAIT YOUR TURN

I can feel it (I can feel it)
Pumping though my veins
I know this feeling I know this feeling
Makes me fire and fire again

Get me noticed (get me noticed)
Because I don't think that I
Would be the lowest man to ever walk 
The lowest man to ever walk 
The lowest man to ever walk the earth

I can't find my way
To what I want to say
I just think that I 
Will be the one to cry
I'm just thinking of me
As who I want to be 
And maybe I will learn
To never wait my turn

I think I mess up (I think I mess up)
Because I don't love myself
Am I no better (am I no better)
Than the ones I never help

Didn't get the memo (get the memo)
Of how everything should be
Do I not listen or am I
Just the one who understands
Just the one who understands
The only one who understands my way to be

I can't find my way
To what I want to say
And now I know that I
I won't live to die
And if you're thinking of me
As who I want to be 
I know that I will learn
So you just wait your turn
