The 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 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 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** around... Yeah, I'll settle down a little, and turn my sh** around! 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
