Swan Song Songtext / Lyric

Well, the telephone rang but I missed the call

('Cause I was too busy out trying to break the law)

Only nineteen but I knew it all

Two bad tattoos and an attitude problem



I seen the sun go down on the west side

I've taken one or two hearts for dessert

It ain't what I need, it's about what I want

And I don't wanna take it no more



This could be the end

I'm not holdin' on

I can't go on any longer



So listen close, my friends

I may be who you loved

Please just think I mean it when I'm gone

Yeah, this is the swan song



When the curtain falls at the quarter hall

I'll be writing my number on the bathroom wall

(For a good time, call me anytime you want)

But I may not listen 'cause I heard it all






I seen the sun go down on the west side

I'll write a song, you can sing it the next time

It ain't what I need, it's about what I want

And I don't wanna take it no more



This could be the end

I'm not holdin' on

I can't go on any longer



So listen close, my friends

I may be who you loved

Please just think I mean it when I'm gone



This is a swan song

He wants you to sing it, do you wanna rhyme?

This is a swan song

I feel I can write it down, I got the time



This is a swan song

I know I said I'll write it but that was last night

And I don't wanna take it no more



'Cause this could be the end

I'm not holdin' on

I can't go on any longer



So listen close, my friends

I may be who you know

Please just think I mean it when I'm gone

Yeah



I'm not holdin' on

I'm not holdin' on

I can't go on



So listen close, my friends

I may be who you know

Please just think I mean it when I'm gone

Yeah, this is a swan song



This is a swan song
