We settled for less
Make amends, call it time
We settled for less all the time
When you spend half a life harking back to a time
When self-image was less of a lie

I’ll spring up when you find the right parts
And sing up when our affections part ways

We settled for less
Make amends, call it time
We settled for less all the time
There was a pattern on the floor
There was time to retrace my steps
That led to the foot of your stairs

Too long, too long
It always takes too long now

I’ll spring up when you find the right parts
