It was just a few years in the making now.
The two were locked in a heated dispute,
'Cause he was gone when she needed him more.
Then she could really ever let on to.
They were the poster perfect high school sweethearts,
But moving out can't erase the time.
The two had spent on working it out and
Everybody knew that they were out of their minds.
Oh, you know you really need to settle down,
Let it go.
You know you really need to settle down,
You really need to let it go.
Consider this, he was moving on while
She was busy trying to pass the time
Between the previous and next nervous breakdown.
The girl had given up the love of her life.
And all the time that she was givin' up slowly
he didn't notice when she ran away
and when it came to finally letting him on
well this is every single word she'd say...
Oh, you know you really need to settle down,
Let it go.
You know you really need to settle down,
No you really need to let it go.
For good, forget his lies -
It's the only way to save your life.
'Cause this is restitution
For the love you've thrown away.
Just say you left me like you could.
(Although you said you never would.)
Just say it's done, and be gone.
Just say you left me like you could.
(Although you said you never would.)
Just say it's done, and be gone.
Just say it's done, and be gone.
Let it go!
You know you really need to settle down,
And let it go!
You know you really need to settle down,
You really need to let it go.
For good, forget his lies,
It's the only way to save your life.
'Cause this is restitution
For the love you've thrown away.
You know you really need to settle down
You know you really need to settle down,
You really need to let it go.

When I first came across cartel, I never thought of the word "emo". I highly doubt anyone would classify them in the emo category. They don't talk about cutting their wrists or crying. They are a solid band. Will's voice is addicting. I say they will continue to be a top Powerpop / Punk / Rock band for a long time.

Catching | Reviewer: Jodie | 5/31/2007
I only newly discovered Cartel and I downloaded a few of their songs but this one just sticks in my mind. I just can't get the chorus out of my head lol, it's really good. They do sound like the next punk/emo band I agree with the 1st person, but there is just something about these guys that keep making me coming back and listening.
Pop-punk at its very best! | Reviewer: Dave | 3/26/2007
When I first discovered Cartel, I quickly dismissed them as another generic pop-punk band ala New Found Glory or Fall Out Boy. It was when I heard this song, however, that my opinion completely changed.
The melody in this song is absolutely soaring. Crank it up and listen to it on a pair of headphones and you'll see exactly what I mean.
Will Pugh's voice is beautiful, his lyrics are honest, and this song is so impossibly catchy that I guarantee anyone who even dabbles in the punk/pop-punk/emo genre will be more than satisfied.
