lyrics

Well she gave me her word, but who gives a damn
That don't mean nothing these days
Retire to an antique, a photo in a scrapbook
A thumbed through memory on a page

My mind seems to wander, tends to run away
A way to get through all the blame
Oh, the greenest kind of summertime
Through my windowpane

I'm told I'm angry inside
"That'll go away someday"
And, "That girl, she ain't the one"
"But, someday, you'll settle down, Son"

Flowers in a vase so you could think of me
A sentiment so you might stick around
'Cause all I've got for you is this empty voice
And a guitar that plays a lot of shitty sounds

But I'm too dumb to see the restlessness in me
Should I stay or should I go
How the hell should I know
I'm too young and naive, so quick to believe
And only fools are born to run
"That's why someday, you'll settle down, Son"

I carry you with me on my ever changing mind
My heart beat too fast this time
It's jumping the gun with a pace it can't keep
A mountain that I ain't prepared to climb
So pull me aside, tell me what I need to hear
To keep my head from coming undone
You say "Someday, you'll settled down"
"I pray, you'll settle down"
"Someday, you'll settle down, son"
