Swingin'
Flagland Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna laugh!
I wanna cry!
I wanna live!
I wanna die I don't know what I wanna do but I know I want something!
Two poles pulling me apart -- watch out when I mood swing!
I wanna spit!
I wanna suck.
I wanna fight!
I wanna ...
I don't know what I wanna do but I know where I wanna stay!
Two poles pulling me apart every minute of everyday!
I don't know what I wanna do but I know I want something!
Two poles pulling me apart watch out when I mood swing!




AND IT'
S ABOUT TO SWING!
