Lyrics for Settling Song
Summer headlights cut into the dawn We city kids ride the highway unboundry We were like a pioneer's sons Counting all the coins that we'd won In our hands Running rooftops like the river boys do Kiss me once and you say i love you You make it cold in my heart But promise you will never leave me behind Sleepy-eyed you wait for tomorrow And i know that you'll marry some day And i can only lie down as your mistress 'Cause i gave you away Our innocence lost in the plan Better endings are what we have now Weary friends keeping good on a vow But there is a part of me Still telling me to go and feelings arise Sleepy-eyed you wait for tomorrow And i know that you'll marry someday And i would lay myself down Lay myself down Our innocence lost in the plan
