Swingset Chain Lyrics - Singles - Loquat

There's a playground that we used to run on 

The penny-drop 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 wouldn't miss you for long 

But then comes the day when you leave town 

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

If you want to 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 co-dependent on you 

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 

But 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 roller-skates that threw you on your face 

The park on the hill which was our only space 

The fog is fast and it rolls right in 

About 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 

But time is really racing by - you can see it when you drive
