Arkells - Swing Swing Swing

"Okay I want to try do one of these kind of songs where
People are like happy and dancing
But everyone's like really fucking sad when they listen to the lyrics"

Swing, swing, swing
Gettin' high, layin' low again
I wonder how ya been, how ya been, how ya been
Swing, swing, swing
Lose my mind every now and then
Thinkin' how we could've been, could've been

Since I took off ya it's only been turbulent
Seat belt sign turned on like it's permanent
I get choked up when I'm in the old neighbourhood
I got a lot of coulda, woulda
Bouncing in the overhead
Since we last spoke I wonder, ya I wonder
Do you think about me?
'Cause when the dam broke, you see me all choked
I know ya, ya gotta leave, leave, leave

So I swing, swing, swing
Gettin' high, layin' low again
I wonder how ya been, how ya been, how ya been
Swing, swing, swing
Lose my mind every now and then
Thinkin' how we could've been, could've been
You turned off my light
It's darkness inside
Now I sleep alone
A lonely king-size
So I swing, swing, swing
Gettin' high, layin' low again
A long winter learning how to be alone again

Working all night, play calling every audible
Eighty hour weeks, hearing sirens at the hospital
You sat me down, said we need to take the temperature
I just wanna know is it the message or the messenger?
Since we last spoke, I wonder, ya I wonder
How do you feel about me?
So you count the votes and I'll get the quotes
So we know how it's gonna be, be, be

Swing, swing, swing
Gettin' high, layin' low again
I wonder how ya been, how ya been, how ya been
Swing, swing, swing
Lose my mind every now and then
Thinkin' how it could've been, could've been
You turned off my light
It's darkness inside
Now I sleep alone
A lonely king-size
Swing, swing, swing
Gettin' high, layin' low again
A long winter learning how to be alone again

If this is how it's gotta be
Like The Beatles "Let It Be"
So you wanted to be free
If this is how it's gotta be
Like The Beatles "Let It Be"
So you wanted to be free
So here's your chance to see now
So here's your chance to see now
So here's your chance to see now
So here's your chance to see!

Swing, swing, swing
Gettin' high, layin' low again
I wonder how ya been, how ya been, how ya been
Swing, swing, swing
Lose my mind every now and then
Thinkin' how it could've been, could've been
You turned off my light
It's darkness inside
Now I sleep alone
A lonely king-size
Swing, swing, swing
Gettin' high, layin' low again
A long winter learning how to be alone again
Swing, swing, swing
Gettin' high, layin' low again
I wonder how ya been, how ya been, how ya been
Swing, swing, swing
Lose my mind every now and then
Thinkin' how it could've been, could've been

Swing, swing, swing
Gettin' high, layin' low again
A long winter learning how to be alone again
