Taking Back Sunday - Swing Lyrics

Open the gate to your apartment complex
You're not getting off that easily
I climb the fence
The one that you've been sittin' on
(How long?) Before I'm just a memory
(How long?) Before you can't remember me
(How long?) Remember me

I never had a choice
I never had a choice to leave that chokehold molding
Around that two hinged doorway
I couldn't find the parts to fix
That listless nagging in my brain
(How long?) Before I'm just a memory
(How long?) Before you can't remember me
(How long?) Remember me

Lover, lover on the fence
Bat your eyes
Ball a fist and
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

(Just swing, swing...)

I never had choice, I never had a choice
The evening lent itself
You 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
(How long?) Remember me

Lover, lover on the fence
Bat your eyes
Ball a fist and
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 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) (swing)
Before you leave...
Lover, lover tell me this
Passion over consequence
When did the latter take the lead?
Just swing
Swing (swing), swing (swing), swing (swing)
Just swing
Swing swing swing
Just Swing
