Loquat - Swingset Chain lyrics

rate me

There's a playground that we used to run on

The penny you dropped that broke her arm.

The monkey bars that you fell from,

The swingset chain that stuck with my tongue.

It's thirty below and we're far gone,

If you plant yourself here i wouldnt miss it for long

But then comes a day when you leave town,

I'm back to the way i was when you weren't around.

If you wanna know what that was like,

I'll tell you first it was way too quiet.

It rained a hundred-nineteen days of the year,

I spent my time falling down the stairs.

I know I can't tie you to a leash,

But something tells me you'd go further than Greece.

And then I'll have to figure out what to do

I'm kind of afraid I'm codependent on you.

I'm freaking out that we started breaking down,

Before momentum picked up, now all these doors are locked.

The trees trick you because they're always standin still,

If time is really racing by, you can see it when you drive

There's a rooftop deck where we still hang out,

A couple of bars where we're not allowed.

The rollerskates that threw you on your face,

The park on the hill which is our only space.

The fog is fast and it rolls right in,

About at the time i struck my first fifth of gin.

I don't really mean to complain too much,

But this is turning me into quite the lush.

I'm freaking out that we're running out of time

But to do what?

Should I stop and think of that?

Is there something I could do to slow it down?

Live in a day for once

Instead of watch it screaming by

You're a dandelion seed

That flies through the air

And lands randomly

Then disappears

x2

I'm freaking out that we've started breaking down

Before momentum picked up

Now all these doors are locked

The trees trick you 'cause they're always standing still

If time was really racing by

You could see it when you drive
