Songtext Swing Taking Back Sunday

Swing

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 chokehold
Mouldin' around that to his doorway
I couldn't find the box to fix the list that's 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)
Before you leave
Lover lover tell me this
Passion over consequence
When do I let her take the lead?
Just swing
(Just swing, swing, swing, swing, swing)

I never had a choice
I never had a choice
The evening lent itself
Watch 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)
Before you leave
Lover lover tell me this
With passion over consequence
When did I let her take the lead?
Just swing

Open the gate to your apartment complex
Did you forget love, you're who called for me
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)
Before you leave
Lover lover tell me this
With passion over consequence
And swing
Did I let her take the lead?
Just swing
Swing (swing)
Swing (swing)
Swing (swing)
Just swing
Swing
Swing
Just swing
