lyrics

You make me want to settle down
Away from the pretty boys and punk scene, in this hollow town
With all your trinkets on the windowsill, your love's in place
But still hanging on your wall is her determined face

I've gone my fair, fair share of crazy
But crazy don't come so easy no more
I still feel the train, but it's slower approaching
Though the engineer is blind, my ear's to the floor

You make me want to settle down
Unmuddy all the wheels, in the ditch spinning round
With all your instruments and picture cards, your love's in place
But still hanging on your wall, a slight emotional trace

I've gone my fair, fair share of crazy
But crazy don't come so easy no more
I still feel the train, but it's slower approaching
Though the engineer is blind, my ear's to the floor

You make me want to settle down
Eased by the warmth of your hand sliding up my gown
In the mountains beneath a string band, playing my heart from space
But the nest of your arms, is just one birdie's place
