Tire Swing Lyrics

Performed by Kimya Dawson

I took the Polaroid down in my room
I’m pretty sure you have a new girlfriend
It’s not as if I don’t like you
It just makes me sad whenever I see it
'Cause I like to be gone most of the time
And you like to be home most of the time
If I stay in one place I lose my mind
I’m a pretty impossible lady to be with

Joey never met a bike that he didn’t wanna ride
And I never met a Toby that I didn’t like
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended
Even if he didn’t I wouldn’t be offended

I had a dream that I had to drive to Madison
To deliver a painting for some silly reason
I took a wrong turn and ended up in Michigan
Paul Baribeau took me to the giant tire swing
Gave me a push and he started singing
I sang along while I was swinging
The sound of our voices made us forget everything
That had ever hurt our feelings

Joey never met a bike that he didn’t wanna ride
And I never met a Toby that I didn’t like
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended
Even if he didn’t I wouldn’t be offended
…wouldn’t be offended


Now I’m home for less than twenty-four hours
That’s hardly time to take a shower
Hug my family and take your picture off the wall
Check my email write a song and make a few phone calls
Before it’s time to leave again
I’ve got one hand on the steering wheel
One waving out the window
If I’m a spinster for the rest of my life
My yarns will keep me warm on cold and lonely nights

Joey never met a bike that he didn’t wanna ride
And I never met a Toby that I didn’t like
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended
Even if he didn’t I wouldn’t be offended

Awesome! ***** | Reviewer: Eric | 12/29/2007

featured multiple times in Jason Reitman's "Juno," the delightful new Golden Globe nominated film with Ellen Page and Michael Cera (among others), this is just ONE of the MANY adorable and heartbreakingly sweet and funny songs from ms. dawson (also of the moldy peaches, who provided the song "anyone else but you" in the film)!
