Tire Swing Lyrics - Kimya Dawson

I took the Polaroid down in my room 

I'm pretty sure you have a new girlfriend 

It's not as if I don't like you 

It just makes me sad whenever I see it 

'Coz I like to be gone most of the time 

And you like to be home most of the time 

If I stay in one place I lose my mind 

I'm a pretty impossible lady to be with 

Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride 

And I never met a Toby that I didn't like 

Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended 

Even if he didn't, I wouldn't be offended 

I had a dream that I had to drive to Madison 

To deliver a painting for some silly reason 

I took a wrong turn and ended up in Michigan 

A pallbearer aboard took me to the giant tire swing 

Gave me a push and he started singing 

I sang along while I was swinging 

The sound of our voices made us forget everything 

That had ever hurt our feelings 

Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride 

And I never met a Toby that I didn't like 

Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended 

Even if he didn't, I wouldn't be offended 

Now I'm home for less than twenty four hours 

That's hardly time to take a shower 

Hug my family and take your picture off the wall 

Check my email, write a song and make a few phone calls 

Before it's time to leave again 

I got one hand on the steering wheel, one waving out the window 

If I'm a spinster for the rest of my life 

My arms will keep me warm on cold and lonely nights 

Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride 

And I never met a Toby that I didn't like 

Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended 

Even if he didn't, I wouldn't be offended
