SETTLE IT DOWN

Settle it down
You're not on your own
It's just a little bit of time with a heavier load
Loosen up baby
Have a seat and unwind
It'll get better
It's just a matter of time

You're young and kinda free
You think it's meant to be
Everything that comes to pass
You feel it's gonna last
You've got to fall to pieces to figure it out
Oh, who's judging you
Baby who's judging who
You feel so broke, so black, so blue
You wanna be somebody, be somebody else
But you've gotta realize
It's all about you, honey

(Chorus)

You say it gets too rough
But everyday I call your bluff
Then you see
Don't forget to count your blessings
You're really not that old
It's what they say, what you're told
You've still got time
Just steal that time
Don't let it get you down
Heartache move into town
You've got a fresh restart deep in that pounding part
You've just got to roll with the punches
Hey now, then you'll realize
It's all about you, honey, you know it is

Cause when it all is said and done
You won't be blaming anyone
It's in your hands you'll make it there
It'll get better with time
It's just a matter of time
