american scene - last chopper out of saigon lyrics

tell me what it was you think you missed the most,
was it the city lights reflecting off the coast?
or my self-destructive style?
you could hear me sing for miles and miles and miles,
about the hand that i was dealt being so unfair
oh my god, just to think i’d be caught at square one once again,
and i know how that sounds
but i swear to god that i’ll be coming back around again…

i think i’m almost fine for the first time in a long time.
i’m finding out why none of this made sense when i was on my back.
i started picking up the slack that i let float away over the past 365 days.

we were spending late nights on the phone,
after months without a single call back home.
and for a second i thought you were making me okay
but, then i took a step back and remembered all the wasted days.
maybe everyone’s right, maybe i spent too much time
collapsing in on myself.
i think i’m done collapsing in on myself.

i’ll take a step out of my mind;
draw open the blinds; let the world back in once again,
’cause i spent a summer making promises i never planned to keep.
i spent the spring before in bed wanting nothing more than to stay asleep.
she said, “just settle down a little, settle down kid…
just settle down a little, settle down…”
alright, i’ll settle down a little, i’ll turn my sh-t around…
yeah, i’ll settle down a little, and turn my sh-t around!
