Keep Your Chin up and Your Expectations Down
Settle Your Scores Lyrics

Settle Your Scores
At this point I think we're both aware that this is going nowhere.
Every lull in the conversation is a
pretty clear indication that we're wrong
Maybe she doesn't get my jokes. Maybe she snorts her 20s up her nose
Is it just me? Do I lure crazy?
Are my sights set too high? Are we meant to compromise?
I think we better say goodnight and hope for better luck tomorrow.
And maybe if we say goodbye then things will finally fall in place.
I thought that after all this time my life would turn out fine.
But I guess we better say goodbye
because you and I can't see eye to eye tonight
I'm trying to be patient but I don't think I can take this.
I've been looking for love in hopeless places.
Just empty hearts with pretty faces.
Always at the wrong spot always at the wrong time.
I'll blame it on my bad luck. Or is the fault all mine?
I think we better say goodnight and hope for better luck tomorrow.
And maybe if we say goodbye then things will finally fall in place.
I thought that after all this time my life would turn out fine.
But I guess we better say goodbye
because you and I can't see eye to eye tonight
I don't know if I can go back home alone another night in a row
I don't know if I can go back home alone another night in a row
We should say goodnight
We should say goodbye
We should say goodnight
We should say goodbye
We should say goodnight
We should say goodbye
We should say goodnight
We should say goodbye
I think we better say goodnight and hope for better luck tomorrow.
And maybe if we say goodbye then things will finally fall in place.
I thought that after all this time my life would turn out fine.
But I guess we better say goodbye
because you and I can't see eye to eye tonight
The song "Keep Your Chin Up and Your Expectations Down" by Settle Your Scores is a story of a failed relationship. The lyrics suggest that the relationship is not going anywhere and the two people involved are incompatible. Both parties are aware of this fact and the silences in their conversation make it even more evident. The lead singer is trying to figure out if he is the reason for the continued failures in his romantic endeavors, as he continues to meet different women but ends up in the same story with a different girl. He even wonders if he is the one that attracts crazy people or sets his sights too high.
The chorus urges the couple to say goodnight and call it quits before things get more complicated. The singer realizes that they are not meant to be together and maybe ending things will finally be the solution that they have been looking for. However, the singer also admits to being afraid of being alone yet again, but it's a necessary sacrifice to make because they can't see eye to eye tonight. The song conveys the idea that when things don't work out in a relationship, it's best to let them go and hope for better luck tomorrow. Sometimes, it's necessary to keep your chin up and your expectations down.
