Songtexte 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 moulding
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
Before you leave

Lover, lover, tell me this
Passion over consequence
When did the latter take the lead?
Just swing (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
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? (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
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 and swing, swing
Just swing
