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 spend 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 want to sleep, 'cause I found apathy I'm laying down and never waking up, 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'll 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. I laid awake in bed, and thought of better times. I never want to 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 want to sleep, 'cause I found apathy In laying down and never waking up, 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, (waited two more years) And covered up my ears. (and covered up my ears) I think I'm ready to sing this time, (I think I'm ready to sing) I think I'm ready to sing this time. I really think I'm gone... I laid awake in bed, and thought of better times. I never want to 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 want to sleep, 'cause I found apathy In laying down and never waking up, never waking up.
