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
