settle down (live from the proposal) Lyrics

It's a surprise

It's a surprise? There's so many surprises!

I won't cry, I promise

Okay

I'm already crying

New town, a new friend; promised love and pinky swears

We'll be close until the end of time

I've heard the song before, and I've watched the novel end

So far, all my loves were doomed to die

While others found their old friends and consistency and trust

I never stuck around enough to see

I'd love to pay the mortgage, be a mother, be a wife

Maybe I'm just not cut out to be

I've been on the road now for a while

It might be nice to find a place to call my town

I've done the dance, I've seen the world, I've walked the miles

Oh, how I'd love to settle down

I met a girl who cooks me dinner, holds my hand

Never dreamed I'd find a love this sweet and soft

Slowly I've been loosening my grip to let her in

She might be the home I thought I lost

Oh, I can see it now: dancing 'round the kitchen floor

Decades since we changed our home address

Who knows? Maybe I'd get bored once the world is finally still

But I'd have all my roots deep down by then

And she'd still sleep right next to me in bed

I've been on the road now for a while

It might be nice to find a place to call my town

I've done the dance, I've seen the world, I've walked the miles

I think it's time to settle down

I think it's time

And nothing could convince me like

The sweetness in your eyes

I think it's time

I'm done with all the changing

And I want you

By my side

I've been on the road now for a while

I think I might have finally found my town

I've done the dance, I've seen the world, I've walked the miles

I think it's time to settle down

I never thought you'd be my favorite kind of town

You make me want to settle down
