	Story Behind the Song This song came from a conversation with a friend of mine -- we were both in relationships in which we had to try very hard to keep it going, and we wanted nothing more than to just fall into something perfect. Just have it be there. And at one point, he said to me, "I'm tired of standing up straight." That was it for me. I wrote the song the next day, in about 20 minutes. I realize it's long, but I just had so much to say. I couldn't stop. I think that lyrically, it's one of my best songs. So, friend (you know who you are), I thank you for the constant inspiration. Lyrics last night, i settled into you like sleep i find comfort in these walls this must be where the angels keep themselves at night this must be where i feel like i fall i'll just lie here breathing i don't want to move i'll just lie here thinking i don't want to speak there's a fine line here between where i feel and where i hurt i just want to run to you, run from me he says, "i've been here a long time now, i should go, it's getting late but when the sun goes down, and when the lights go out, i get tired of standing up straight" and she says, "wait" i feel a little useless now, a bit lonely, a bit scared and i'll admit that i'm losing myself it's been a long while since i've felt i could feel safe feeling small but i can't guarantee i'll remember what's supposed to happen now he says, "i've been here a long time now, i should go, it's getting late but when the sun goes down, and when the lights go out, i get tired of standing up straight" and she says, "wait" i want you know i'm feeling useless too and for the time being i like feeling small i'll settle into you, if you feel you can settle into me and i can find comfort like you find comfort in the silence of it all he says "i've been here a long time now, i should go it's getting late" she says, "when the sun goes down, i want to make you feel like you don't have to stand up straight cause i know you're tired of standing up straight and i don't think that it's all that late" she says "wait"
