Settle for the Best

Story Behind The Song

An impromptu on things not said, of making decisions, and of wondering where to go next. I sat down with a lot of thoughts in my head and sang what came out, and I didn't change any of the lyrics when I re-recorded it. I left it as it was, following mostly the same melody without much song structure, because it reflected the confusion and emptiness I was feeling.

Lyrics

something so exquisite about the brink of a kiss
you never know what it is until you've said it

and i could love you for my life
if i never told why
cuz i don't even know

so i love you for now, i said
you said that isn't a good enough answer
so i'm walking home for the first time in my life

thinking you might be north
and i'm thinking i might be wrong
but where can i go
where can i learn

two months from now where will i be
ten years from now will you still be (under) my tongue
and we will be in the same time zone
or will we be across the sea
that is the world according to me

always eons of space between you and me
that's how i do things
and it's beautiful for a minute though
you don't even know
you don't even know
do do do do you?
