Let's Compare Scars

Nina says...

There is this brief and delicate alternate universe wherein which I live happily ever after with my Housecat, this crazy man I happened to stumble upon. It's a strange universe that I really don't understand. But, as always, I will just hum along to the music till the image fades.

Swing Life Away by Rise Against

"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, 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 'til the end

I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

I've been here so long; think that its time to move

The winter's so cold summer's over too soon

so 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 'til the end

I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand, until you hold my hand

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 'til the end

I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

swing life away

swing life away

swing life away

swing life away"
