lyrics

I'm not settling
I'm not settling

Wake up sweetheart
The pages of our lives
Won't write themselves

We're too far
Away from everything
Away from ourselves

The journeys that we have
Play like movie screens
We wash away
From them

Can we just make this last
I've got twenty bucks somewhere
And I'm about to let you in

Just listen up
Yeah just listen

Take me far from here
I'm freaking out in the worst ways
I just want you here
All that I ask of you is that you stay

These words and melodies
Will never be the same when you're away
And all I want is
When they're singing your song tonight
Just listen

I'm not settling
I'm not settling x2

Remember all our times alone
Staying up til five
Talking on the phone

I've got a grand proposition for you
And I hope you take it
(Yeah just take it)

So dance your heart out
Your words from your mouth
Keep telling me to stay
But even if they didn't I probably would've anyway

Just listen up
Yeah just listen

Take me far from here
I'm freaking out in the worst ways
I just want you here
All that I ask of you is that you stay

These words and melodies
Will never be the same when you're away
And all I want is
When they're singing your song tonight
Just listen

I've got twenty dollars
And you've got your heart on my sleeve
Take it from me

I've got these problems
But it's alright when you're with me
Yeah take it from me

I've got twenty dollars
And a blanket in the back
I 'll run away with you
And we're never coming back
Well I've got twenty dollars
And tonight you're coming with me

Take me far from here
I'm freaking out in the worst ways
I just want you here
All that I ask of you is that you stay

These words and melodies
Will never be the same when you're away
And all I want is
When they're singing your song tonight
Just listen

I'm not settling
I'm not settling
Just listen

I'm not settling
I'm not settling
Yeah just listen
