Swing
Taking Back Sunday
open the gate to your apartment complex,
you're not getting off that easily.
i climb the fence,
the one that you've been sitting on.(how long)
before i'm just a memory,(how long)
before you can't remember me,remember me.
i never had a choice,i never had a choice,
To leave the choke-hold molding
around that two-hinge doorway,
i couldn't find the part to fix
that listless nagging in my brain(how long)
before i'm just a memory,(how long)
before you can't remember me,remember me.
lover, lover on the fence
bat your eyes, ball a fist and swing
swing, swing, swing, swing, swing before you swing
lover, lover now tell me this,
passion over consequence,
when did the latter take the lead?
just swing,
Just swing, swing, swing, swing, swing.
i never had a choice,i never had a choice,
The evening lit itself
and watched my reservations fall to the floor
fall to the floor, now sing with me(how long)
before i'm just a memory,(how long)
before you can't remember me,remember me.
lover, lover on the fence
bat your eyes, ball a fist and swing
swing, swing, swing, swing, swing.
before you leave
lover, lover tell me this,
passion over consequence,
when did the latter take the lead?
just swing,
"open the gate to your apartment complex,
did you forget, you're who called for me?"(did you forget it?)
how long did you expect to keep me waiting?
how long before i'm just a memory?
lover, lover on the fence
bat your eyes, ball a fist and swing
swing, swing, swing, swing, swing before you leave.
lover, lover now tell me this,
passion over consequence,
since when did the latter take the lead?
just swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing
Just swing, swing, swing, swing, swing.
