Eminence Ensemble - Before You Settle Down Lyrics

It might be a while until I come around
I never woulda climbed so high if I knew I had to come down
Right now I need to see inside myself before I even make a sound
Sometimes you gotta settle up before you settle down
Before you settle down

Don't go and losin' what you found
Before you break it off you better break it down
'cause you'll feel the weight around
A heart's so heavy, breaks like a levee
And it's floodin' now
I need to see inside of me
I see way too much judgement in society
So just fly with me
I can hold you, just like I told you

But it might be a while until I come around
I never woulda climbed so high if I knew I had to come down
Right now I need to see inside myself before I even make a sound
Sometimes you gotta settle up before you settle down
Before you settle down

I need to find some better ground
Feels like I'm naked in the middle of my town
And I feel the weight around
A heart's so heavy, why'd I have to let it hit the ground?
Wondering if it's the end, or will you let me shed my skin and start again?
How many letters do I have to send?
I'll be the sail that always fails without the wind

I can't justify my actions
I can only try to make it right
I won't hide behind distractions
If we can just make it through the night
This time words won't fix the problem
I'm learning how to read between the lines
I won't wait until our love's gone
But I know it's gonna take some time

'Cause it might be a while until I come around
I never woulda climbed so high if I knew I had to come down
Right now I need to see inside myself before I even make a sound
Sometimes you gotta settle up before you settle down
Before you settle down
