I've got a hunger twisting my stomach into knots; that my tongue is tied off
My brain's repeating if you've got an impulse, LET IT OUT! but they never make it past my mouth (Bop Ba...) This is the sound of settling (Bop Ba, bop ba...) (Bop Ba...) This is the sound of settling (Bop Ba, bop ba...) Our youth is fleeting, old age is just around the bend and I can't wait to go gray And I'll sit an wonder of every love that could have been If I'd only thought of something charming to say (Bop Ba...) This is the sound of settling (Bop Ba, bop ba...) (Bop Ba...) This is the sound of settling (Bop Ba, bop ba...) I've got a hunger twisting my stomach into knots  submitted by aLLy corrected on 24-01-2007 |

 8 posts | just_visiting is absolutely right. This is a horribly sad song that is purposely being masked by the upbeat music. Ben always does a great job of delivering a very specific message wrapped within a contradictory tone. |

15 posts | I understand that it is all upbeat, but did any one catch that it is also sad...it is talking about this person that doesn't want to be in a relationship...they are settling. They always try to say something, but can't,...maybe because why mess something up when you don't know what else is out there. And then they are even anticipating getting old and being with that person, but still regretting never having said anything and thinking about all the relationships they could have had. It is sad. |

38 posts | I personally love this song, it get's me all hyped up whenever I hear it. Loads of fun to sing to...while looking kinda strange of course  ... Although DCFC is great I am not too stoked about their whole "OC" thing, very time that show is on, ther's a DCFC song basically. I mean come on..the OC? Why?!  |

5,582 posts | yeah, the video to this song is good. I love this song. I can't decide whether I prefer it over Expo '86 on that album, though. Good song, definitely. |
