Swingset Lyrics by McCafferty

I’ve been thinking about giving up lately

2023

[Chorus]
Broke my neck on the swing set
Jumping off backwards
I can do a handstand
Counting down backwards

I can grow my hair out
Everyone's laughing
I am such a joke, I
Hope I stop breathing

There's an old saying
"Everyone's happy
When they're not happy"
Everyone's lying

Nobody's happy
Look at these pictures
Everyone's fucked

[Verse 1]
Broke my neck on the swing set
Jumping off backwards
I could blow my brains out
Pick me up after

Everyone's gone home
I am so lonely
Nobody knows me
Could you please hold me?

I like your car
I like your brain
I like your voicе
I like your face

I like your namе
I hate this place
Everyone's fucked

[Bridge]
But there is someone worth fighting for again
And I'm dyslexic, so spell it out my friend
I think I liked you better when we met
You never call me, so why should I call back?

And I forget what you look like all the time
I know you hate me and yeah, I guess that's fine
You used to be my whole entire world
But now you're nothing and that's just how it goes

[Chorus]
Broke my neck on the swing set
Jumping off backwards
I can do a handstand
Counting down backwards

I can grow my hair out
Everyone's laughing
I am such a joke, I
Hope I stop breathing

There's an old saying
"Everyone's happy
When they're not happy"
Everyone's lying

Nobody's happy
Look at these pictures
Everyone's fucked

[Outro]
FUCK
