Repetition Of Sounds

Swing Life Away by Rise Against

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, are we just getting more lost?I'll show you mine if you show me yours firstLet's compare scars I'll tell you whose is worseLet's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words

[Chorus]We live on front porches and swing life awayWe get by just fine here on minimum wage If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the endI won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

I've been here so long; think that its time to moveThe winter's so cold summer's over too soonso let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees growI've got some friends, some that I hardly knowBut we've had some times I wouldn't trade for the worldWe chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go

[Chorus]We live on front porches and swing life awayWe get by just fine here on minimum wage If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the endI 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 firstLet's compare scars I'll tell you whose is worseLet's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words

[Chorus]We live on front porches and swing life awayWe get by just fine here on minimum wage If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the endI won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

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, are we just getting more lost?I'll show you mine if you show me yours firstLet's compare scars I'll tell you whose is worseLet's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words

[Chorus]We live on front porches and swing life awayWe get by just fine here on minimum wage If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the endI won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

This song is about how a passionate relationship is far more important than money.
