Settling

This house is settling
All the doors won't close
If they did, who knows
I can't hide from all that we've left behind us
Can't look it in the eyes cause it's staring back at me
Settling

I'm working on forgiving, and forgetting
I just don't know what comes first
Or what I deserve
I'm tracing new beginnings just to throw them all away
It's not what you said
But the way you did
It's still settling

Sometimes I still think
I know you like I did before
Sometimes I guess the songs that you might like on new records
It's lonely even though we made the right call
And after all
We're still settling

I hope your moms doing better
I never said thank you for that piano
She fucking hates me for that
How strange it felt when we tried to give it back
The ghost in my room, The ghost of you
Look, it's finally settling

I could paint these walls a hundred kinds of green
But I'd still know what's behind them
But a change might be nice
Cause all my blues are gray
That sounds like something that you'd say
Your words will take you anywhere you wanna go
I hope you're never settling

You come around, I'll get out of town
You were right to paint me out
Paint me out
You come around, ill get out of town
I guess we're not so different now
Paint me out
