SWING
I used to try to please everyone around me
didn‘t stand up for my needs
so now no matter what they say
I‘ll think of no one but me
this feels like
the only way to help me figure out
what I do because I want to do it
somewhere deep inside
I know that this can‘t last
life‘s just like sitting on a swing
you weigh your options going up and down
can‘t stop at either turning point
you‘re bound to come round midway
you‘ve never been able to be all by yourself
you move from lover to friend
and soon you‘ll meet somebody new
and start all over again
we both know
the only way for you to move along
is to break out of this vicious circle
you say that deep inside
you don‘t want this to last
life‘s just like sitting on a swing
you weigh your options going up and down
can‘t stop at either turning point
you‘re bound to come round midway
if you keep rocking
you‘ll pass the golden mean between the extremes
if you want you can put your feet to the ground
or push the limit, see if there‘s more to be found
life‘s just like sitting on a swing
you weigh your options going up and down
can‘t stop at either turning point
you‘re bound to come round midway
