Settle Down

I gave my things away.

I called the people that I only see on holidays.

This next year's gonna burn a hole in me.

I spent my weekdays in my car

and the weekends drinking hard enough for two.

I think I'll settle down one of these days

'til I catch my breath.

I feel the weight of the world on my back.

But I'm not feeling sick today.

Cause I laid awake in bed,

and thought of better times.

I never wanna sleep,

cause I found apathy

and laying down and never waking up.

I learned a lot today.

Cause there's a reason why I'll never live the easy way.

I'm trying to be real.

I wrote down words inside my arm

that say I'll never walk alone cause I get tired.

I know I have my friends in every way.

So I caught my breath

and for the first time I found what I'm looking for.

Cause I laid awake in bed,

and thought of better times.

I never wanna sleep,

cause I found apathy

and laying down and never waking up.

Yeah I went down.

Yeah I found the way

in the city where my father was born

I had a dream I moved out west.

I finally found out what I wanted to be,

so I picked up where I left.

And I waited two more years,

I covered up my ears.

I think I'm ready to sing this time.
