Tire Swing - Kimya Dawson

I took the Polaroid down in my room

I’m pretty sure you have a new girlfriend

it’s not as if I don’t like you

it just makes me sad whenever I see it cuz I like to be gone most of the time

and you like to be home most of the time

if I stay in one place I loose my mind

I’m a pretty impossible lady to be with

Joey never met a bike that he didn’t wanna ride

and I never met a Toby that I didn’t like

Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended

even if he didn’t I wouldn’t be offended

I had a dream that I had to drive to Madison

to deliver a painting for some silly reason

I took a wrong turn and ended up in Michigan

Paul Baribeau took me to the giant tire swing

gave me a push and he started singing

I sang along while I was swinging

the sound of our voices made us forget everything

that had ever hurt our feelings

Joey never met a bike that he didn’t wanna ride

and I never met a Toby that I didn’t like

Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended

even if he didn’t I wouldn’t be offended

wouldn’t be offended

now I’m home for less than twenty-four hours

that’s hardly time to take a shower

hug my family and take your picture off the wall

check my email write a song and make a few phone calls

before it’s time to leave again

I’ve got one hand on the steering wheel

one waving out the window

if I’m a spinster for the rest of my life

my yarns will keep me warm on cold and lonely nights

Joey never met a bike that he didn’t wanna ride

and I never met a Tobey that I didn’t like

Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended

even if he didn’t I wouldn’t be offended…

wouldnt be offended… even if he didn’t i wouldn’t be offended
