Settle Down

I’ll be the boy
You be the girl
You come around
We’ll play

I’ll make you smile
You’ll make me think
Of things
I shouldn’t say

We’ll dance around in circles
And where we fall we’ll lay
Then we’ll sleep it off
And start it all again


You cut the deck
You count em out
You flip one
for a game

I try to win
You always do
But I love you
Just the same

We’ll stay up and talk for hours
With out nothing real to say
Then we’ll sleep it off
And start it all again

You’ve made my heart a featherweight contender
You’re the lightest load I’ve shouldered for some time
I’m hoping you’ll still want me when we’re older
I hope you will forget we are from time to time YOU

You be the girl
You be the boy
I’ll try to make you stay

We’ll clown around
And hunker down
And drown
It all away

We’ll kiss goodnight
And kiss goodnight
And in my mind
I’ll pray

That we’ll sleep it off and start it all agian
