lyrics

Back when I was young I thought that true love
Was nothing but a waiting game
But I spent too long blindly holding on
Wondering when she'd feel the same

Moving right along, another pretty one
A smile masking hurt I couldn't touch
A redhead, I should've known to leave well enough alone
As if I hadn't been bloodied enough

I've been trying all my life just to settle down
The girl of my dreams curled up with me
Instead she just left town

They say you can't settle down without settling first
But what if settling down just makes things worse?

I've been trying all my life just to settle down
I'd play my guitar, she'd paint her art
Instead she just left town

Well...

And when I have no doubt I've got it all figured out
That's when it starts over again
Brown eyes and blonde hair just wanting to be there
Taking the pleasure with the pain

I've been trying all my life just to settle down
But what's the use when it's all useless words jerking me around?
