Swept Away
She lives by the train tracks, I live by the bridge
Five miles of abuse
I gave you my knife if it became all too heavy
To cut yourself loose
All of resistance vanished completely
Each chance that we met
No time for conflict, complications or pain
A long line of regrets
Swept Away
We've been swept away, When we've been swept away
Not for the moment, not for the day
Swept Away
I'd look in your eyes but I might see someone else
It's not my place to say
We live for tomorrow when we're swept away
So life spins around us never knows when to stop
Lost in our embrace
We're out of control spinning off on our own
In time and space
Don't want you to cry babe, never want you so sad
I can't stand when you laugh
I was complete with you there in my arms
And now I am half
Swept Away
We've been swept away, When we've been swept away
Swept Away
Not for the moment, not for the day
Swept Away
I'd look in your eyes but I might see someone else
It's not my place to say
We live for tomorrow when we're swept away
Swept Away
I'd look in your eyes but I might see someone else
It's not my place to say
We live for tomorrow when we're swept away
Five miles of abuse
I gave you my knife if it became all too heavy
To cut yourself loose
All of resistance vanished completely
Each chance that we met
No time for conflict, complications or pain
A long line of regrets
Swept Away
We've been swept away, When we've been swept away
Not for the moment, not for the day
Swept Away
I'd look in your eyes but I might see someone else
It's not my place to say
We live for tomorrow when we're swept away
So life spins around us never knows when to stop
Lost in our embrace
We're out of control spinning off on our own
In time and space
Don't want you to cry babe, never want you so sad
I can't stand when you laugh
I was complete with you there in my arms
And now I am half
Swept Away
We've been swept away, When we've been swept away
Swept Away
Not for the moment, not for the day
Swept Away
I'd look in your eyes but I might see someone else
It's not my place to say
We live for tomorrow when we're swept away
Swept Away
I'd look in your eyes but I might see someone else
It's not my place to say
We live for tomorrow when we're swept away
