Settling (Swoop Swoop)

I planned to be rock star I ended up a teacher
I tried to see God they sent me to a preacher
I'd love to ride a Harley but I can't afford a Honda
I wish I had a house I'm in a one bedroom Conda

I'm Settling (Life was not supposed to be this way)
And I'm down (Life was not supposed to be this way)

I had to move back to Ohio from sunny California
My friends asked Oh why oh and they say "I tried to warn ya"

I'm Settling (Life was not supposed to be this way)
And I'm down (Life was not supposed to be this way)

I don't know how much more of this I can take (Swoop swoop swoop swoop)
The ocean just called me and said to jump in a lake (Swoop swoop swoop swoop)

I'm Settling (Life was not supposed to be this way)
And I'm down (Life was not supposed to be this way)
I'm Settling (Life was not supposed to be this way)
And I'm down (Life was not supposed to be this way)

I'd like to fly a rocket to the moon, that would be so sweet
But every time I take a flight I'm in the middle seat
I wish that I could be the queen getting coronated
The only crown I got was from a dentist that I hated

I'm Settling (Life was not supposed to be this way)
I'm down (Life was not supposed to be this way)

Oh man I just dont know how much of this I can take (Swoop swoop swoop swoop)
The ocean told me to go jump in a lake (Swoop swoop swoop swoop)

Things are getting worse they don't get better
If I could get a life I'd just end up deader
I'm Settling (Life was not supposed to be this way)
I'm down (Life was not supposed to be this way)

I'd like to skip ad dance up in the hill but I don't know how to frolic
And get drunk to the gills but I'm a freakin alcoholic
I wrote no literary works just a grocery list
I tried to learn to twerk but I could barely do the twist

I'm Settling (Life was not supposed to be this way)
I'm down (Life was not supposed to be this way)
I'm Settling (Life was not supposed to be this way)
I'm down (Life was not supposed to be this way)

The ocean told me to go jump in a lake
I'm Settling (Life was not supposed to be this way)
I'm down (Life was not supposed to be this way)

I wanted a set of China I just got paper plates
"Daddy can I go to Harvard?" " No, you're going to Kent State"
I did a jigsaw puzzle but the last piece was missing
I wrote a hit song but nobody listened

I'm Settling (Life was not supposed to be this way)
I'm down (Life was not supposed to be this way)
I'm Settling (Life was not supposed to be this way)
I'm down (Life was not supposed to be this way)
Oh oh oh I'm Settling (Life was not supposed to be this way)
I'm down (Life was not supposed to be this way)

I really dont know how much of this I can take (Swoop swoop swoop swoop)
I mean come on man The ocean just called me and said jump in a lake
(Swoop swoop Swoop swoop)
Things are getting worse they're not gettin better, if I could get a life I'd just end up Deader

I'm Settling (Life was not supposed to be this way)
I'm down (Life was not supposed to be this way)
I'm Settling (Life was not supposed to be this way)
I'm down (Life was not supposed to be this way)

I missed the last boat I lost my first mate
I'm lookin at a calendar but I don't see a date
I used to have a future now I only have a past
I'd like to run for mayor but I'm not that fast

I'm Settling (Life was not supposed to be this way)
I'm down (Life was not supposed to be this way)
I'm Settling (Life was not supposed to be this way)
I'm down (Life was not supposed to be this way)
I'm Settling (Life was not supposed to be this way)
I'm down down down to the ground (Life was not supposed to be this way)
