I've got a hunger
twisting my stomach into knots
that my tongue is tied off
My brain's repeating
if you've got an impulse,
let it out!
but they never make it
past my mouth
(Bop Ba...) This is the sound of settling
This is the sound of settling
(Bop Ba, bop ba...)
Our youth is fleeting,
old age is just around the bend
and I can't wait to go gray
And I'll sit an wonder of every love
that could have been
If I'd only thought of
something charming to say
(Bop Ba...) This is the sound of settling
This is the sound of settling
(Bop Ba, bop ba...)
I've got a hunger
twisting my stomach into knots
---the sound of settling, death cab for cutie
