Machine Gun Kelly - Swing Life Away lyrics

rate me

ft. Kellin Quinn

Am I loud and clear?

Do I gotta scream like I did every day when I was a troubled teen?

Do you wanna know my past and see every single scar, know what they mean?

17, running up in Mickey D's, begging for a double cheese

Screaming I don’t wanna grow up and nobody like you when you’re 23

Came from nothing but a fucking unsupportive father I don’t ever see

Had to watch a crooked jury put my brother in a penitentiary

Never fit in, criticism, made me the man I shouldn't be

I’m reminiscing, oh, my life was different, spending every day at Chucky Cheese

We live on front porches and swing life away

We get by just fine here on minimum wage

If love is a labor I'll slave till the end

And I'll run these streets if you give me a chance

I’ve been here so long

Maybe I should run away

Try to find a summer day

What is love? Love is pain

Love is butterflies and stomach aches

Love is looking out a window pane

Tears dripping looking like you in the rain

For someone you don't even know

Or for somebody you may never see again

I am only alive once

And I’ma die when God wants

So fill the sky with diamonds

‘Cause that's how is gonna look when I'm gone

Had a vision as a kid that one day

I would change the world with my song

Several years have passed and now that vision came to life

That boy’s a fucking icon

We live on front porches and swing life away

We get by just fine here on minimum wage

If love is a labor I'll slave till the end

And I'll run these streets if you give me a chance

Sometimes I don’t wanna fucking wake up

When all they wanna do is bring me down

And all the things I went through as I came up

Are the fucking reasons why I run this town

We live on front porches and swing life away

We get by just fine here on minimum wage

If love is a labor I'll slave till the end

And I'll run these streets if you give me the chance

We live on front porches and swing life away

We get by just fine here on minimum wage

If love is a labor I'll slave till the end

And I'll run these streets if you give me the chance

Swing life away

Swing life away

Swing life away

Swing life away

Swing life away

Swing life away

Swing life away

Swing life away
