[00:-04.00] The Dangerous Summer - Settle Down
[00:-01.00]
[00:00.89] I gave my things away.
[00:04.72] I called the people that I only see on holidays,
[00:11.58] this next year's going to burn a hole in me.
[00:18.93]
[00:29.61] I spent my weekdays in my car
[00:33.93] and the weekends drinking hard enough for two.
[00:39.67] I think I'll settle down one of these days,
[00:44.76] till I catch my breath.
[00:46.51] I feel the weight of the world on my back
[00:50.55] but I'm not feeling sick to death.
[00:54.70] Because I laid awake in bed
[00:56.81] and thought of better times.
[00:58.82] I never want to sleep
[01:00.59] 'cause I found apathy in laying down
[01:04.52] and never waking up.
[01:08.26] and never waking up.
[01:11.74]
[01:13.91] I learned a lot today
[01:19.14] cus' there's a reason why
[01:21.76] I'll never live the easy way,
[01:25.94] I'm trying to be real.
[01:29.26] I wrote down words inside my arm
[01:33.52] that say "I'll never walk alone"
[01:36.92] 'cause I get tired.
[01:38.86] I know I'll have my friends in every way,
[01:43.23] so I caught my breath,
[01:45.21] and for the first time
[01:47.51] I found what I'm looking for.
[01:49.38] Because I laid awake in bed
[01:51.60] and thought of better times.
[01:53.98] I never want to sleep
[01:55.73] 'cause I found apathy in laying down
[01:58.75] and never waking up.
[02:05.65] Because I laid awake in bed
[02:07.43] and thought of better times.
[02:09.57] I never want to sleep
[02:11.98] 'cause I found apathy in laying down
[02:13.03] and never waking up.
[02:18.78] and never waking up.
[02:21.63]
[02:22.38] Yeah, I went down.
[02:26.55] Yeah, I found a way.
[02:28.86] In the city where my father was born
[02:32.53] I had a dream I moved out west.
[02:36.81] I finally found out what I wanted to be
[02:39.96] so I picked up where I left;
[02:43.48] and I waited two more years
[02:48.24] and covered up my ears.
[02:51.84] I think I'm ready to sing this time.
[02:56.57] I really think I'm gone.
[03:00.11] Because I laid awake in bed
[03:02.29] and thought of better times.
[03:04.60] I never want to sleep
[03:06.20] 'cause I found apathy in laying down
[03:09.60] and never waking up.
[03:13.38] and never waking up.
[03:15.59] Because I laid awake in bed
[03:17.85] and thought of better times.
[03:19.96] I never want to sleep
[03:21.62] 'cause I found apathy in laying down
[03:25.51] and never waking up.
[03:29.52] and never waking up.
[03:34.18]
