Settling Song - Nina Nastasia

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
