Backseat Goodbye - Swingset Song lyrics

rate me

Two kids are on a swingset

outside by me and you

and i can't quite place where i placed my keys

the sun is setting the moon is bright tonight

and i love the shadow our hands cast by the trees

the leaves don't fall anymore 'cause it's summer thank god for that

and i could run away, i've got legs for that

but i've got a home now and i like it here

the birds outside my door

sing me to sleep i'm sure

to thank them everynight and keep in touch

with the friends i thought i'd lost somehow i always find them where i left them

i'm beginning to think my parents were right all along

i used to be scared of love

but now i keep it close, without it we would all forget to breathe

fairly soon i want to move to a small house on the coast

just because the ocean's so damn pretty

like a flower pedal lost in the wind's relentless gust

i've forgotten where i'm from but still have hope

that i'll find myself a new life not too different from the old

where i'll laugh and get lost some more

and we'll still have inside jokes

and i'll still be so forgetful

and we'll trade in all our money for the simple things

they say dreams are uncertain

i say lies are overrated we should bury them and smile a little more

'cause if there's one thing i've learned

from being young and insecure

it's you don't need no money to live and be happy

just find some friends and forget all the worst
