Tire Swing Lyrics - Kimya Dawson

I took the Polaroid down in my room
Im pretty sure you have a new girlfriend
its not as if I dont 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 lose my mind
Im a pretty impossible lady to be with
Joey never met a bike that he didnt wanna ride
and I never met a Toby that I didnt like
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended
even if he didnt I wouldnt be offended
I had a dream that 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 didnt wanna ride
and I never met a Toby that I didnt like
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended
even if he didnt I wouldnt be offended
wouldnt be offended
now Im home for less than twenty-four hours
thats 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 its time to leave again
Ive got one hand on the steering wheel
one waving out the window
if Im a spinster for the rest of my life
my arms will keep me warm on cold and lonely nights
Joey never met a bike that he didnt wanna ride
and I never met a Toby that I didnt like
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended
even if he didnt I wouldnt be offended
