Taking Back Sunday - Swing [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Open the gate to your apartment complex
You're not getting off that easily
I climb the fence
The one that you've been sitting on
(How long)
Before I'm just a memory
(How long)
Before you can't remember me
Remember me

I never had a choice
I never had a choice
To leave the choke-hold molding
Around that two-hinge doorway
I couldn't find the part to fix
That listless nagging in my brain
(How long)
Before I'm just a memory
(How long)
Before you can't remember me
Remember me

Lover, lover
On the fence
Bat your eyes, ball a fist and swing
Swing, swing, swing, swing, swing

Lover, lover
Now tell me this
Passion over consequence
When did the latter take the lead?
Just swing, just
Swing, swing, swing, swing, swing

I never had a choice
I never had a choice
The evening lit itself
And watched my reservations fall to the floor
Fall to the floor, now sing with me
(How long)
Before I'm just a memory
(How long)
Before you can't remember me
Remember me

Lover, lover
On the fence
Bat your eyes, ball a fist and swing
Swing, swing, swing, swing, swing

Before you leave
Lover, lover
Tell me this
Passion over consequence
When did the latter take the lead?
Just swing, just
Swing, swing, swing, swing, swing

Open the gate to your apartment complex
Did you forget, you're who called for me?"
(Did you forget it?)
How long did you expect to keep me waiting?
How long before I'm just a memory?

Lover, lover
On the fence
Bat your eyes, ball a fist and swing
Swing, swing, swing, swing, swing before you leave

Lover, lover
Now tell me this
Passion over consequence
Since when did the latter take the lead?
Just swing, just
Swing, swing, swing, swing, swing
