Swing Sets


I wish the sun shined
Every moment of summer, yeah
It seemed like it was always light outside
When we were younger, yeah
So why can't we just visit the park again
Recreate the memories we kept

*Swing sets
Baby do you like them
Swing sets
Let’s get
Away from here
Swing sets
Baby, we’re flying towards the
Sunset
Baby do you wanna swing with me
Swing sets_

I know it sounds so silly
But promise you'll go with me
Remember who
Was nice enough to push you
Well now can you push me and I will
Do the same, today
In the daylight, or at night
Either way would be alright

*Swing sets
Baby do you like them
Swing sets
Let’s get
Away from here
Swing sets
Baby, we’re flying towards the
Sunset
Baby do you wanna swing with me
Swing sets_

Bringing back our childhood
Nothing lasts the way it should
I just miss when I did this all day
Those were the times when everything was okay

*Swing sets
Baby do you like them
Swing sets
Let’s get
Away from here
Swing sets
Baby, we’re flying towards the
Sunset
Baby do you wanna swing with me
Swing sets
Swing sets
Swing sets
Swing sets, swing sets_

Rainy Days


What's the deal
With the hate
Who doesn't love their clouds dark grey?
It lets me heal
It makes my day
If only it would start to rain

*Rainy days don’t have to be sad
Rainy days don’t have to be bad
In fact, rainy days
Are the best kind
Keep in mind
Without rain,
I wouldn't have kissed you again_

There's something it does to me
It drives me crazy
It's like I'm in a movie
I have to do something poignant in the rain
And force you to do the same

*Rainy days don’t have to be sad
Rainy days don’t have to be bad
In fact, rainy days
Are the best kind
Keep in mind
Without rain,
I wouldn't have kissed you again_

You can't regret what you do
In the rain
It's the best weather to dance to
Spin around, ruin your clothes
Do something insane too
That's the rules
That's why I kissed you

*Rainy days don’t have to be sad
Rainy days don’t have to be bad
In fact, rainy days
Are the best kind
Keep in mind
Without rain,
I wouldn't have kissed you again_

The Kind of Girl


Got my diary in my hands
I walk up and down this street
Looking for the right park bench
To set me free
I’m the kind of girl with wishes she wants
And I don’t have a problem with working for it all

I just want to play the guitar
And drive in my own car
I just want to write songs all day
And I’ll pay my dues along the way

‘Cause I’m the kind of girl who loves eighties music
And if things get messy I kind of lose it
Yeah, yeah
‘Cause I’m the kind of girl who loves pretty dresses
But I’d rather be chillin’ in some blue jeans
Oh, that’s me

I got my sunglasses on
A notebook in the back seat
I got the radio on
There’s no one in the world but me
I want to say so many things
To everyone I see

‘Cause I’m the kind of girl who can write all day
But when it comes time I can’t play
Yeah, yeah
‘Cause I’m the kind of girl who’ll joke at my own expense
Hey, it’s funny, that’s right, hence
That’s me, oh that’s me

These things don’t come easily
Oh, I would be willing
To work for years
I would be willing to cry those tears
Just give me a chance and then you’ll see
Maybe you will see me

‘Cause I’m the kind of girl who was raised right, polite
‘Cause I’m the kind of girl who never goes to sleep, I’m writing
‘Cause I’m the kind of girl who will help you, oh that’s all I want to do
‘Cause I’m the kind of girl who doesn’t want everything, just to follow my dreams
Oh, that’s me, oh, that’s me

Say Sorry To Me


I’m wide awake,
No one left to call
And for goodness sakes
Stop the banging on my wall
I can hear you just fine from here
I want you to say sorry
But you won’t that’s clear
*So I ain’t opening up my doors to you
I put up these walls for you to crash into
I don’t want to hear a thing you say
Unless you’re saying sorry
I wanna hear you say sorry to me
I’m cracked inside, and you’re okay
I just wanna hear the words,
I want you to say
I’m sorry, I’m sorry
I wanna hear you say sorry to me_
You’ve gone ‘round and ‘round
Avoiding those sweet sounds
‘Cause you’re pride’s more important to you
And that fight isn’t even why I’m mad at you
*Oh, I ain’t opening up my doors to you
I put up these walls for you to crash into
I don’t want to hear a thing you say
Unless you’re saying sorry
I wanna hear you say sorry to me
I’m cracked inside, and you’re okay
I just wanna hear the words,
I want you to say
I’m sorry, I’m sorry
I wanna hear you say sorry to me_
Don’t tell me you’re so sad
I don’t need a guilt trip, yeah
You just want to mess with my head
And get me to say sorry instead
*Well I ain’t opening up my doors to you
You put up those walls for me to crash into
I don’t want to hear a thing you say
Unless you’re saying sorry
Unless you’re saying sorry
I’m cracked inside, and you’re just fine
I just wanna hear the words,
I want you to say
I’m sorry, I’m sorry
I’m sorry, I’m sorry
I’m sorry, I’m sorry_

Remember Me


I look around the commons today
And the library this morning
I feel like grabbing the nearest hand
And telling them they will be okay
Because they’re just like me;
Only better in every single way
And they just don’t think
I care, but I do, okay?
*I believe in you
I believe in what you are, what you do
I would give everything I have
To see you be beautiful for eternity
So just remember me, remember me_
I really wished with all of my heart
That you would do big things someday
Because you showed poise, intelligence, devotion, and grace
You showed passion and love
And I was naïve to think that was enough
But the real world is kind of like an axe
Cutting and smashing and killing
The dreams that we all used to have
But I hope you go where you want
I hope with all of my heart
There’s no one more loyal than I
Just remember what I said that one time
*I believe in you
I believe in what you are, what you do
I would give everything I have
To see you be beautiful for eternity
So just remember me, remember me_
I’m starting to think that maybe
Our dreams may one day come true
And it’s crazy to think that someday
I will be standing and telling everyone
That I used to know you
*I believe in you
I believe in what you are, what you do
I would give everything I have
To see you be beautiful for eternity
So just remember me, remember me
Remember me_
