Settled in the Unsettled ft. Theo MacMillan Lyrics

I wouldn't bet my savings on a roll of the dice

I wouldn't build a house on top of a sheet of ice

So why do I try to get settled in the unsettled?

Every room, a shelf of books that I'll never read

Every closet, lined with clothes I don't even need

I'm just trying to get settled in the unsettled

Why do I do it

When I always knew it would fail me?

I'm ready to propose before we go on a date

I swear that I'll be fired after my first mistake

Oh, why do I try to get settled in the unsettled?

I dream up conversations that'll never take place

Get lost reliving memories that I cannot erase

Always trying to get settled in the unsettled

Why do I do it

When I always knew it would fail me?

Why do I do it

When I always knew it would fail me?

I can't use science to pretend that all can be known

Or heap up all my stuff, sit down, and call it a throne

So why do I try to get settled in the unsettled?

Why do we try to get settled in the unsettled?
