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 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, remember me?
Lover, lover on the fence
Bat your eyes, ball a fist and swing
Swing before you leave
Lover, lover, tell me this
Passion over consequence
When did the latter take the lead?
Just swing
I never had a choice
I never had a choice
The evening lent itself
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 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 before you leave
Lover, lover, tell me this
Passion over consequence
Since when did the latter take the lead?
Just swing
Swing
Swing
Swing
Just swing, swing, swing
Just swing
