Rise Against - Swing Life Away

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 are 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

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 till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

I've been here so long, I think that it's 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

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

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 till 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

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 till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

My life in a nutshell..

Rise Against never fails to express the world that is today try to think about the reverse creation (google it if need to) its not a story but the world we've already destroyed so through the words they have said they express how perfect the world should have been like in their song survive saying "Life for you's been less than kind so take a number step in line" their songs if people were to actually listen will make the world what it should have been when it was created

This is one of the first songs I ever learned on my guitar but I haven't played my guitar for a year after I had surgery and I had to do muscle therapy but I think this is the first song I'm going to relearn again ^.^
