Swing Life Away
Am I loud and clearOr am I breaking up?Am I still your charmOr am I just bad luck?Are we getting closerOr are we just getting more lost?
I'll show you mineIf you show me yours firstLet's compare scarsI'll tell you whose is worseLet's unwrite these pagesAnd replace them with our own words
We live on front porches and swing life awayWe get by just fine here on minimum wageIf love is a labor, I'll slave 'til the endI won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
I've been here so longThink that it's time to moveThe winter's so coldSummer's over too soonLet's pack our bags andSettle down where palm trees grow
I've got some friendsSome that I hardly knowWe've had some timesI wouldn't trade for the worldWe chase these days down with talksOf the places that we will go
We live on front porches and swing life awayWe get by just fine here on minimum wageIf love is a labor I'll slave 'til the endI won't cross these streets until you hold my handUntil you hold my hand
I'll show you mineIf you show me yours firstLet's compare scarsI'll tell you whose is worseAnd let's unwrite these pagesAnd replace them with our own words
We live on front porches and swing life awayWe get by just fine here on minimum wageIf love is a labor, I'll slave 'til the endI won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
