Settle Down Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A soft sound
Into the way that she wears her hair down
Covering up her face
And oh, what a letdown
And I don't seem to be having any effect now
Falling all over the place

[Pre-Chorus]
But you're losing your words
We're speaking in bodies
Avoiding me and talking 'bout you
And you're losing your turn
I guess I'll never learn
'Cause I stay another hour or two

[Chorus]
For crying out loud, settle down
You know I can't be found with you
We get back to my house
Your hands, my mouth
Now I just stop myself around you

[Verse 2]
A small town
Dictating all the people we get around
What a familiar face
Do you get what I mean now?
I'm so fixated on the girl with the soft sound
And hair all over the place

[Pre-Chorus]
And you're sure that I'd learn
I'm pushing through bodies
Avoiding me and walking 'round you
And you're cold and I burn
I guess I'll never learn
'Cause I stay another hour or two

[Chorus]
For crying out loud, settle down
You know I can't be found with you, you
And we get back to my house
Your hands, my mouth
Now I just stop myself around you
(Hey)

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Bridge]
A soft sound
Into the way that she wears her hair down
Covering up her face
And oh, what a letdown, down
I don't seem to be having any effect now
Falling all over the place

[Pre-Chorus]
And you're losing your words
We're speaking in bodies
Avoiding me and talking 'bout you
And you're losing your turn
I guess I'll never learn
'Cause I stay another hour or two

[Chorus]
For crying out loud, settle down
You know I can't be found with you, you
We get back to my house
Your hands, my mouth
Now I just stop myself around you, 'round you
For crying out loud
