My wonderful friend Sheldon and I having a jam session to a song I wrote last night... Hope you enjoy! :)
P.S. I'm too excited at the end...
Lyrics:
High school sweethearts, football teams
Livin out their parents dreams
Under Friday night lights
And cheerleader screams
On sleepy Sundays in this town
Everyone's up kneeling down
At the same old place with the same old prayers
Same old faces all around
Oh we settle like sand in water
Oh we settle for throwing coins over our shoulder
All I see are broken windows looking out
From the people who wanted a life outside this town
But Dad said no, Momma couldn't let go so you stayed
In the only place where they felt safe
Here we marry by 24
Have two kids or maybe more
All of our future adventures get locked
Behind closed doors
Buy the house just down the street
With the check from work last week
All of the days feel the same nothing changes
All of the nights are alive with your wishes
Oh we settle like sand in water
Oh we settle for throwing coins over our shoulders
CHORUS
Round and around we go
The cycle never stops
Sneak out soft and slow
Maybe you won't get caught
CHORUS
"Settle" - written by Rose Dennis
