Swing life away

[Verse 1]

Disrupted amongst the static of a crowded world, Do you hear my voice, or is it blurred?
Am I still the one who brings you charm,
Or have I become a symbol of harm?

Are we drawing closer, or drifting apart,
In this maze of confusion, where do i fucking start? Let's unveil our scars, share stories untold, And rewrite our lives with words of gold.

[Chorus 1]

We dwell on porches, swinging life away,
Finding solace in simple moments, come what may. Surviving through minimum wage, we luckily find our way, If love is a labor, I'll slave until the end of our days.

I've been here too long!

[Verse 2]

I won't step across these streets alone,
I hold my own hand, let my own self love be known. The passage of time has been so long,
Perhaps it's time to find where I belong.

Winter's chill bites, summer fades too soon,
I'll one day chase the warmth where palm trees bloom. I have friends, some strangers in disguise, But the memories I've made, I'll forever prize.

I'll reminisce about the places I'll one day explore, Dreams fueling my spirit, forevermore. So let's embark on this journey, hand in hand, With a future that's bright, together we'll stand.

[Chorus 2]

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 'til the end
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

Swing life away
Swing life away
Swing life away
Swing life away
