I've got a hunger
Twisting my stomach into knots.
That my tongue has tied off.
My brain's repeating
"If you've got an impulse let it out"
But they never make it past my mouth.
Bop ba, this is the sound of settling
Bop ba, Bop ba
(x2)
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've been.
If I'd only thought of something charming to say.
Bop ba, this is the sound of settling
Bop ba, Bop ba.
(x4)
I've got a hunger twisting my stomach into knots.
-Death Cab for Cutie
So I had this song in my head all morning when I woke up, so I had it playing on repeat and had a major change of my understanding.
I sometimes let my mind wander a little too much... I get lost in my head, that twists my own stomach into knots....
The sound of settling may not be such a bad sound. I suppose it's more enjoyable than the sound of silence.
