lyrics

I thought I had known
That a bridge made of stone
Would be safe and sound
I was mistaken
When I started shaking
On solid ground

We were divided
Once I had decided
To break my heart
Choosing between
Chasing love
And my dreams is
Tearing me apart

The swing and the sway
And the things that we say to ourselves
The swing and the sway
And the things that we say to ourselves

Down to the wire, I started a fire
And went down in flames
I talked myself in and I walked myself out
Some things never change

I’ve been living with one foot out the door
Been living with one foot out the door, been living with one foot out the door,
Been living with one foot out the door
Been living with one foot out the door and now it’s closing

With the swing and the sway and the things that we say to ourselves
The swing and the sway and the things that we say to ourselves
The swing and the sway and the things that we say to ourselves
