Song lyrics
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

Swing life away [4x]

This is one of the best songs on their CD. It's so soft and slow and yet it holds so much meaning.

Wow....Totally not a song I would have expected from Rise Against. Its totally different then the rest of their work. Definatly a good song tho. Then again I have a thing for acoustic music

I really like this song! Actually, it's a really cute song, but I started crying the first time I heard it! It was kind of funny because my guy friend started laughing at me (he thought it would cheer me up - not make me start crying!). But I really like this song now... whenever I hear it, it makes me think of him...

Give me a break here kids. This song is OK but it's nothing to get worked up about.

If you like that type of music and lyrics then listen to some Jack Johnson since this song is a rip-off of his music.

Absolutely Amazing. I've never heard of Rise Against before, and I heard this song on MTV, and I loved it. I think it would apply to my life, too, so that's always a plus.

This song gets 5's all across the board!

i gotta say, i like RA, and i really like the tune, but after i saw the video, i was like, what the fuck>? emo boys gettin pushed around because they're in heartbreak. oh woe is me. it just makes me laugh. now everytime i listen to this song, i have those images in my head, and it ruins it for me.
