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

(How long)

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

(How long)

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

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 lent 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

(How long)

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, just

Swing, swing, swing, swing, swing

Open the gate to your apartment complex

Did you forget, love, 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, just

Swing, swing, swing, swing, swing
