Death Cab for Cutie
The Sound of Settling
[Verse 1]
I've got a hunger, twisting my stomach into knots
That my tongue is tied off
My brain's repeating
"If you've got an impulse, let it out"
But they never make it past my mouth

[Chorus]
Bop-ba
This is the sound of settling
Bop-ba, bop-ba
Bop-ba
This is the sound of settling
Bop-ba, bop-ba

[Verse 2]
Our youth is fleeting
Old age is just around the bend
And I can't wait to go gray
And I'll sit and wonder
Of every love that could have been
If I'd only thought of something charming to say

[Chorus]
Bop-ba
This is the sound of settling
Bop-ba, bop-ba
Bop-ba
This is the sound of settling
Bop-ba, bop-ba
Bop-ba
This is the sound of settling
Bop-ba, bop-ba
Bop-ba
This is the sound of settling
Bop-ba, bop-ba
[Outro]
I've got a hunger, twisting my stomach into knots
