Settle for Normal Lyrics

All my life I thought this was the only way to be

And everyone was just like me

Live awhile and fake a smile

Then join the saints at last

Forever young and free

Til you sat me down

Said I should get checked out

Am I the only one

I'd settle for normal

White picket fence

To not wake up and feel the heavy on my chest

I'd settle for stable

Blend in to the rest

A level head to keep my feelings in check

I'd settle for ok

All my life I've moved around from town to town and now

I forgot your name

And the place we met

On the way the play by play

Rewind it back again

Did I say too much

Did I scare you away

So you sat me down

Said I should write about

Some happy thoughts

What about the song I just wrote

Isn't it normal

White picket fence

To wake up everyday with all this on my chest

Isn't it stable

Just like the rest

What's a level head to keep my feelings in check

You sat me down

Said I should get checked out

Not fake a smile

Another day

Will it mess me up

Will I feel the same

When it's said and done

Is there another way

To settle for normal

White picket fence

To not wake up and feel the heavy on my chest

Settle for stable

Blend in to the rest

A level head to keep my feelings in check

I'd settle ok
