Jordan Smith - Settle

Chorus / Description : The song Settle by Jordan Smith is about not settling for second best and fighting for what you believe in. It encourages listeners to overcome fear and not let darkness dictate their choices. While it does not directly reference the Bible, the lyrics align with biblical principles of perseverance, faith, and not conforming to the world (Romans 12:2, Hebrews 10:39).

Settle Lyrics

Don't wanna put you aside
Couldn't leave you on the shelf
No, that wouldn't be right
I can see it in your eyes
You've forgotten how it felt
To live on the other side

How long is too long to have not moved on?

I don't wanna settle for second best
Gonna fight for you 'til there's nothing left
I don't wanna settle just because I'm scared
When the lights go out and the darkness dares you to settle
I don't wanna settle

So leave those demons behind
They turn you into someone else
There's no reason for you to hide
If you need something to believe
Look beyond what you can see
Past the mountains we've yet to climb

How long is too long to have not moved on?
How long is too long to keep holding on?

I don't wanna settle for second best
Gonna fight for you 'til there's nothing left
I don't wanna settle just because I'm scared
When the lights go out and the darkness dares you to settle
For second best
Gotta fight for this 'til there's nothing left
Why would you settle?
Just because you're scared
When the lights go out and the darkness dares you to settle
Oh, why would you settle?
Why would you settle?
Say you won't settle

Don't let 'em push you aside
Break these chains off of yourself
Don't you know you were born to fly?
