Swan Song

Well, the telephone rang but I missed the call
('Cause I was too busy out trying to break the law)
Only nineteen but I knew it all
Two bad tattoos and an attitude problem

I seen the sun go down on the west side
I've taken one or two hearts for dessert
It ain't what I need, it's about what I want
And I don't wanna take it no more

This could be the end
I'm not holdin' on
I can't go on any longer

So listen close, my friends
I may be who you loved
Please just think I mean it when I'm gone
Yeah, this is the swan song

When the curtain falls at the quarter hall
I'll be writing my number on the bathroom wall
(For a good time, call me anytime you want)
But I may not listen 'cause I heard it all

I seen the sun go down on the west side
I'll write a song, you can sing it the next time
It ain't what I need, it's about what I want
And I don't wanna take it no more

This could be the end
I'm not holdin' on
I can't go on any longer

So listen close, my friends
I may be who you loved
Please just think I mean it when I'm gone

This is a swan song
He wants you to sing it, do you wanna rhyme?
This is a swan song
I feel I can write it down, I got the time

This is a swan song
I know I said I'll write it but that was last night
And I don't wanna take it no more

'Cause this could be the end
I'm not holdin' on
I can't go on any longer

So listen close, my friends
I may be who you know
Please just think I mean it when I'm gone
Yeah

I'm not holdin' on
I'm not holdin' on
I can't go on

So listen close, my friends
I may be who you know
Please just think I mean it when I'm gone
Yeah, this is a swan song

This is a swan song
