Swings and Roundabouts

Come, come take a walk with me
I'll show you how beautiful this world can be
I'll show you how much the stars can twinkle and shine
Watch, watch the changing tides
And shifting moon in the clear night skies
See how calm I am in pure moonlight

You can see tear drops in my eyes
As raindrops fall from the skies
We can get lost in life's simplicity
And the breeze will guide us all too easy
 
As you swing I'm flung round about
So all that's left is fear and doubt
In our playground we ride seesaws
My wounds are open and still raw
 
Come, come take a walk with me
I'll show you how ugly this world can be
I'll show you how much the sun can burn and blind
Wait, the weight of your body
Proves the uncertainty that we can't find
See how angry I am in bright daylight
 
See my frown crumple when your heart beats
As autumn leaves crush under my feet
We can get lost in all our nothingness
And the wind will blow hard against us
 
As I swing your flung round about
But you don't hear me shout aloud
No one will ever be equally weighted
Someone is always left waiting

As we swing we're flung around about
We can hear each other shout out loud
In our playground we swing seesaws
Our wounds will always be raw
