White Swan Lyrics
When I was younger I used to know this girl
Always smilin’, heart as big as the world
We met flippin’ burgers at Mickey D’s
And between us must’ve ate a million nuggets wrapped in cheese
Trista brought me to get my first tattoo
I remember the first time we heard that song, Da Ba Di (I’m Blue)
We were smoking a joint in her car and through the haze she
And I just looked at each other and laughed like crazy
Oh, how I miss I you so
You got snatched away by life’s undertow
One less white swan
Too soon you were gone
I would give anything to see you again
But I’m left having to remember when
We sure loved to party, innocent teenage fun
40’s of OE, fat joints, Bacardi 151
But by the time we were 23
I’d developed a really bad habit and so did she
Oh, how I miss you so
You got swept away by life’s undertow
One less white swan
Too soon you were gone
I would do anything to see you again
But I’m left having to remember when
Just like that my friend left without saying bye
She left me bereft to forever wonder why
I was able to pull through yet such a warm soul had to go
Fifteen years later and every day I can still feel her glow
Oh, how I miss you so
Just how much you’ll never know
One less white swan
Too soon you were gone
I would give anything to see you again
But I’m left having to remember when
One less white swan
Too soon you were gone
I would do anything to see you again
But I’m left having to remember when
