Oh these swings are a nasty thing

One moment they get you up

High as the birds in the sky

The next moment you are down

Like the outcast dirt on earth

…

One moment they make you feel in love

Like nothing could go wrong

The next moment you are feeling sick

When you come crashing down

…

One moment you are gleefully singing

As the breeze brushes your hair

The very next moment you are exhausted

Your head containing a tornado

…

One moment you are full of happiness

Happier than the king of the world

The next moment you are struggling

To find a bit of peace and calm

…

One moment up

One moment down

Up, down, up, down, up, down

Oh these swings are a nasty thing

My simple heart couldn’t take it anymore

I wrote my song on fire

For love is a savage flame

There I wrote with ire

There I wrote your name

Now with fingers burning

I pour my pain in rage

Watch grey smoke returning

To the fire-bounded page

The fire — cruel and hollow

Turns on me in a flash

Leaps at me to swallow

My anger and my ash

I don’t know

I don’t know where we’re goin’

I don’t care

Which way this wind is blowin’

Last night

I thought I would put this to end

But we’re starting

To go through this all over again

…

I don’t know

How this will turn out to be

I don’t care

How this will turn out to be

Last night

I kept my eyes wide open

Thinking, wondering

If we’re doing this all over again

…

I don’t know

If this story has an ending

I don’t care

If you’re just pretending

All night

I swallow my ego and pain

For I fear

We’re starting it all over again
