Lyrics Settling Song - Nina Nastasia

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
