  • Open the gate to your apartment complex,
    Your not getting off that easily.
    I climb the fence,
    The one that you've been sitting on.
    (How long)
    Before I'm just a memory,
    (How long)
    Before you can't remember me,
    (How long?)Remember me.

    I never had a choice
    I never had a choice
    To lead the choke homodyne
    Round that to his doorway
    I couldn't find the box to fix
    The restless nagging in my brain
    (How long?)
    Before I'm just a memory,
    (How long?)
    Before you can't remember me,
    (How long?)Remember me.

    Lover, lover, on the fence
    Bat your eyes, ball a fist
    And swing (swing) swing (swing)
    Before you leave
    Lover, lover, tell me this
    Passion over consequence,
    When did the latter take the lead?
    Just swing
    Just swing, (swing), swing, (swing), swing

    I never had a choice,
    I never had a choice,
    The evening lit itself
    And watched my reservations fall to the floor
    Fall to the floor
    Now sing with me
    (How long?)
    Before I'm just a memory
    (How long?)
    Before you can't remember me,
    (How long?)Remember me.

    Lover, lover, on the fence
    Bat your eyes, ball a fist
    And swing (swing) swing (swing)
    Before you leave
    Lover, lover, tell me this
    Passion over consequence,
    When did the latter take the lead?
    Just swing

    Open the gate to your apartment complex
    Did you forget love, your who called for me?
    (Did you forget, did you forget?)
    How long did you expect to keep me waiting?
    How long before I'm just a memory?

    Lover, lover, on the fence
    Bat your eyes, ball a fist
    And swing (swing) swing (swing)
    Before you leave
    Lover, lover, tell me this
    Put passion over consequence,
    Since when did the latter take the lead?
    Just swing
    Swing, (swing), swing, (swing), swing, (swing)
    Just swing, swing, swing
    Just swing Writer/s: ADAM BURBANK LAZZARA, EDWARD REYES, MARK O'CONNELL, MATTHEW A. RUBANO, MATTHEW FAZZI
