Verse 1
Isn't it ‘bout time
You made up your mind
Do you tire of playin' round
When all your friends have settled down
You try to change your game
But you're still the same
You're never really home
To realize you're all alone

Chorus:
You swing, swing, swing like a pendulum
You don't cling, cling cling to anyone
You just swing, swing, swing like a pendulum
Swing, swing, swing

Verse 2
You're never anywhere
Long enough to care
You'd rather be a nowhere man
Than be the one to take a stand
You push it all away
The moment you stay
Does it make you sad
To think about what you never had

Bridge
Does it mean anything when you swing?
Can you see your life go by so why oh why do you still

Swing, swing, swing like a pendulum
You don't cling, cling cling to anyone
You just swing, swing, swing like a pendulum
Swing, swing, swing

Chorus
