Settle Down - The Dangerous Summer

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 till I catch my breath

I feel the weight of the world on my back but I’m not feeling sick to death

'Cause I laid awake in bed and thought of better times

I never wanna sleep 'cause I found apathy

In laying down and never waking up, never waking up

I’ve 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’ll 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

In laying down and never waking up, never waking up

I laid awake in bed and thought of better times

I never wanna sleep 'cause I found apathy

In laying down and never waking up, never waking up

Yeah I went down, yeah I found a 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 and covered up my ears

I think I’m ready to sing this time

I think I’m ready to sing this time

I laid awake in bed and thought of better times

I never wanna sleep 'cause I found apathy

In laying down and never waking up, never waking up

I laid awake in bed, thought of better times

I never wanna sleep 'cause I found apathy

In laying down and never waking up, never waking up
