The Sound of Settling
Benjamin Gibbard
I've got a hunger
Twisting my stomach into knots
That my tongue is tied off
My brain's repeating "If you've got an impulse, let it out"
But they never make it past my mouth
Bop bah, this is the sound of settling
Bop bah, bop bah
Bop bah, this is the sound of settling
Bop bah, bop bah
Our youth is fleeting
Old age is just around the bend
And I can't wait to go grey
And I'll sit and wonder of every love that could have been
If I'd only thought of something charming to say
Bop bah, this is the sound of settling
Bop bah, bop bah
Bop bah, this is the sound of settling
Bop bah, bop bah
Bop bah, this is the sound of settling
Bop bah, bop bah
Bop bah, this is the sound of settling
Bop bah, bop bah
I've got a hunger
Twisting my stomach into knots
