Swingin by Paper Ravens Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Found myself in another town
A kinda one light one life piece of the ground
Not really lookin’ to settle down
Just wanna rest for a while
Just let me rest for a while
Found a bar and I was sippin’ wine
When a pair of snake eyes started looking at mine
He came to me with a crooked smile
And said stay for a while
“Why don’t you stay for a while”
[Pre Chorus}
I don’t know what you think you know
But I’ve been fighting with my ghosts
They try to tell me there’s no hope
They say I’m all alone
But they’re not…
[Chorus]
Breaking me breaking me
Knock me down and I’ll come up swinging
Shaking me shaking me
They try to drown out the song I’m singin’
I can barely breathe
But I’m so close to
Breaking free, breaking free
Knock me down and I’ll come up swingin’
[Verse 2]
He turned to me with that reptile grin
And said “no matter what you do
You know you’ll never win
It’s not a warning it’s a promise child
I’ve been around for a while
I’ve been around for a while”
I don’t know what you’ve been told
But let me tell you what I know
There’s a place far down below
Calling you back home
But they’re not
[Chorus]
Breaking me breaking me
Knock me down and I’ll come up swinging
Shaking me shaking me
They try to drown out the song I’m singin’
I can barely breathe
But I’m so close to
Breaking free, breaking free
Knock me down and I’ll come up swingin’
Found myself in another town
A kinda one light one life piece of the ground
Not really lookin’ to settle down
Just wanna rest for a while
Just let me rest for a while
Found a bar and I was sippin’ wine
When a pair of snake eyes started looking at mine
He came to me with a crooked smile
And said stay for a while
“Why don’t you stay for a while”
[Pre Chorus}
I don’t know what you think you know
But I’ve been fighting with my ghosts
They try to tell me there’s no hope
They say I’m all alone
But they’re not…
[Chorus]
Breaking me breaking me
Knock me down and I’ll come up swinging
Shaking me shaking me
They try to drown out the song I’m singin’
I can barely breathe
But I’m so close to
Breaking free, breaking free
Knock me down and I’ll come up swingin’
[Verse 2]
He turned to me with that reptile grin
And said “no matter what you do
You know you’ll never win
It’s not a warning it’s a promise child
I’ve been around for a while
I’ve been around for a while”
I don’t know what you’ve been told
But let me tell you what I know
There’s a place far down below
Calling you back home
But they’re not
[Chorus]
Breaking me breaking me
Knock me down and I’ll come up swinging
Shaking me shaking me
They try to drown out the song I’m singin’
I can barely breathe
But I’m so close to
Breaking free, breaking free
Knock me down and I’ll come up swingin’
