LYRICS:

this is nonstop baby
you've got me going crazy
you're heavier than i knew
but i dont want no other
youre my cameo love
only here for a moment or two
you stay inside that bubble
with all of your trouble
in your black hole
you turn from the skies
you dance with your demise
i'll be here when you come home

we've all gotta break down
let me come and break down with you

cos everydays like talking in ur sleep!
love is like a silhoeutte in dreams!
open up your heart!
open up your heart and let me pull you out of here

ive got high hopes baby
but all you do is take me down to depths that i never knew
you've got two arms baby
they're all tangled in ladies of the black skies posing blue
let go of your mother
and turn to your brother!
not a long gone lovers noose
sometimes baby the hardest part of breaking is leaving pieces behind you

we've all gotta get by
let me come and hold you high, with you

cos everydays like talking in ur sleep!
love is like a silhoeutte in dreams!
open up your heart!
open up your heart and let me pull you out of here

open up your heart to me!
the sun won't shine if you're not looking
baby love is all that you need

I like how this just jumps right into the song, no funny business.

[juanqarlos]

She deserves far more recognition. Mostly she's known for her contribution in Somebody That I Used to Know, but her music is way better than what she did there. She's fun to listen to.

[RaidenWarbound]

I’m back 10 years later! Absolutely love this song and Settle Down!! Can’t believe it’s been 10 years already! I still feel the same way I did back then today!

[leisurelydinner]

listening to this is like eating sugar straight from the jar

[KatalinaKristina]

2018 and still here. I hate that i forgot about her. She dances like an angel.

[MarthaGarcia-dppk]

I will never ever get tired of this song

[skllerdrag]

honestly one of the greatest pop songs ever made, it is so sonically dynamic and nothing ever stays the same in this song, there are so many subtle touches that work together phenomenally, from the fact that the harmonies and melodies clash with one another, fitting into the theme of kimbra trying to "open up your heart", to the key change, the fact that the chorus changes FOUR fucking times after the key change, the double tracking throughout the track, just phenomenal.

kimbra should've been one of the main pop stars and i'll die on that hill

[Niiopii]

This could be on the radio today and people would love it

[Foodisgood]

I can't believe this song is 13 years old. I remember when it came out. Time is flying fast.

[myhn]

She looks different in every video she uploads

[starzzzy]

I used to play this album on repeat in college

[naeeanvideos]

I really loved the VOWS era. Such a good song.

[forg]

It's 2024 and this song is still such a classic I love it!

[gjgany]

I just found her today... Her face looks very iconic

[nyosha]

If this song was realeased in 2016 i think it would be a big hit

[BlueIron]

Still in awe at that anime ability Kimbra has at 2:36 when she summons the girls off Settle Down out the void

[creekalmighty]

this song has whole the potential to annoy me yet it doesn't

[leokimvideo]

Reminds me of much happier times on YouTube, a long time ago now

[OnceInAMillin]

This women created a masterpiece she deserves way more recognition. This is amazing

[RayatoTV]

This song sounds as fresh in 2015 as it did in 2011!!!
