I swing high, high, high
I go higher, and higher, and higher
like playing with fire
You'll never know what you'll want

So I swing
I try to touch the sky
And then I'll be able to fly
I go faster, and faster, and faster

I try to fly so high
I go higher, and higher, and higher
While I'm faster, and faster, and faster

When I fly
I'll go round, and round, and round
Going higher, and higher, and higher
Like playing with fire

You don't know when it will end
If I had wings
I would go so high
I would fly so far away

I would fly from the flame
I would fly from my name
and all it leaves me
So I go higher, and higher, and higher

So I swing and forget yesterday
So I fly
So I leave
So I swing
I don't stay
