(Intro.)

(Verse 1)

 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; you show me yours first

 Let's compare scars, I'll tell you who's....is worse

 Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own....words

(Chorus)

 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

(Verse 2)

> / / /

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

(Chorus)

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

(Solo)

  > > >

I'll show you mine; you show me yours first

  > > >

Let's compare scars, I'll tell you who's is worse

 Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words

(Chorus)

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

Swing life away, Swing life away,

Swing life away, Swing life away,
