Strung Out - Swan Dive Lyrics

Well it's hard to find the words to say
What no one would say to you when were around
The loneliest caged bird sings the saddest song
And you were never one to keep us guessing long

Well if you ask me what went wrong?
I'll tell you nobody is doing fine
We're all fucked up and doin time
The gates of Eden elude people like ourselves

I think about you every now and then
More now than I ever did when you were down
All reservations pass when chances slip away
All songs play better from confusion

Now I sit and I wonder how
Everyday gets a little shorter
Always feel im losing out somehow
Don't wanna let another day go by without creation

Now if you ask what went wrong?
When your falling you're the only one
That doesn't see the distance
Sacrifice yourself to save yourself

Now we don't always walk the line
And broadcast how we hurt sometimes
And at times it seems nobody wants to know

Give me some time I might remember
Everything you ever did or said to me

If you ask me what went wrong?
I'll tell you nobody is doing fine
We're all fucked up and doin time
The gates of Eden elude people like you and I

I think about you every now and then
More now than I ever did when you were down
All reservations pass when chances slip away
All songs play better from confusion

This song has been on repeat everyday for about a month now

RIP my brother. this song is for you

12 May 2019

This song has such a huge impact on my life, I cannot even describe it.
The way this record was made, the mix between lyrics and music goes deep into my chest and every now and then, a tear comes out my eye.
This is my favorite song of this record, I can listen to it hundreds of times!

the goosebumps i get everytime i play this song...

Jim was one of the greatest bass guitar players that ever walked this earth.

Well it's hard to find the words to say,
what no one would say to you when were round,
the loneliest caged bird sings the saddest song,
and you were never one to keep us guessing long.

If you ask me what went wrong?
I'll tell you nobody is doin' fine,
we're all fucked up and due in time.
The gates of Eden elude people like ourselves.

I think about you every now and then,
more now than I ever did when you were down.
All reservations pass when chances slip away,
all songs play better from confusion.

Now I sit and I wonder how,
everyday gets a little shorter,
always feel I'm losin' out somehow,
don't wanna let another day go by without creation.

Now if you ask me what went wrong?
When your fallin' you're the only one that doesn't see the distance,
sacrifice yourself to save yourself.
Now we don't always walk the line and broadcast how we hurt sometimes,
and still at times it seems nobody wants to know.

Give me some time I might remember everything you ever did or said to me.

If you ask me what went wrong?
I'll tell you nobody is doin' fine,
we're all fucked up and due in time.
The gates of Eden elude people like you and I.

I think about you every now and then,
more now than I ever did when you were down.
All reservations pass when chances slip away,
all songs play better from confusion.

Thank you

This song is the greatest song ever composed.

Secondbest9966 right on

FUCK YEAH!

Secondbest9966 Go play “Snuff - All Over Now. It’s tastes sooooooo goooood. And Guns n Wankers CD it’s Snuffs old Name. I hate stupid names. Happy they changed it fast.

Why i encounter you in every punk rock video?

wow! This is 2016 :) Who are you signed with?

not 2016 but they are with fat wreckchords

A great tune. Such heartbreaking lyrics.

i love jims band zero down

R.I.P. Jim. Man such a sad song. It seems like alot of you guys don't realize this is a tribute song to jim cherry.

I bet Jim is so proud of their mates when play this loud in heaven..

+Step Lab they kicked him out of the band - jordan speaks publicly about how much he hated him on the pulley dvd.. they just feel guilty. strung out post 'twisted by design' = meh, but thats not a slight against jordan, ive still got a poster i had him sign in 1997. Jim was apparently a polarizing guy. He rubbed some people the wrong way, but others loved him so much :[

super melodic, I loved it, thanks for share it 

this song is dedicated to the  memory of Mister Jim Cherry thanks again for a Mind of My own , Ultimate devotion and Bring out your Dead !!! 2 shots will never go down the same !!! sorr you had to go so soon !! we miss you so much !!!!!!

some of the greatest lyrics ever in those songs

This song is for unlucky substance abusers...

One of their best tracks. After all these years, Strung Out is one of the few bands I can still listen to over and over and over again.

Jimmy Cook NUFN, LAGWAGON, MILLENCOLIN, SNUFF, and SNUFF when their name was Guns & Wankers for just one insanely good album, which they probably regret using that crap name. GOOD RIDDANCE, MXPX, ALL, DESCENDANTS. Did I leave anyone out of this elite list of the bestest bands ever?

日本ではWikipediaの記事すらないマイナーバンドです（モッタイナイ）

i always get nostalgic when i play strung out tunes.

Right up there with her name in blood for sure!!!!!

all songs play better from confusion.. rest in peace Jim.

I just Got 2 Words
