There is a song by Rise Against! that has lyrics that really touch me... I wouldn't normally post something like this but I want you to hear (or read ) these lyrics and tell me what they mean to you Swing Life Away Lyrics Am I loud and clear or am I breaking up? Am I still your charm or am I just bad luck? Are we getting closer or we just getting more lost? I'll show you mine if you show me yours first Let's compare scars I'll tell you whose is worse Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words [Chorus] 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 I've been here so long I think that its time to move The winter's so cold summer's over too soon Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow And I've got some friends some that I hardly know But we've had some times I wouldn't trade for the world We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go [Chorus] 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 until you hold my hand I'll show you mine if you show me yours first Let's compare scars I'll tell you whose is worse Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words [Chorus] 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
