I've met a handful of "I can save her's" And perfect candidates on paper But for now I know I'm better off alone Untied from the sinking stones Even coffee girls with eyes so blue Anymore I'm just too critical To not harm someone's youth I won't put my life Up on a shelf And throw rings and kids with girls At my lack of respect for myself Compensating for my passion With a simple paycheck life I've wasted time on material shit That could could all fit back In the end of my pipe And I'll just watch you settle I'll watch my friends lie in wait For their bitter ends or empty lives And mistake kids with worn out wives And I'll just watch you settle I'll stay safely self-involved And let you talk like your life's better But I know better And I'll just watch you settle I know what's best for me So lay awake all night quietly and let The unsettled some of us dream I've been a victim to myself all along And I'll just watch you settle And let you tell me comfort's better But I know better I don't even know Why I'm still here
