Still Swinging

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

Tried my hand at every kind of love

Some came easy some came hard to hold

Chasing every whisper from above

Left my pockets empty and my heart so cold

I built a fire out of broken plans

Watched it flicker in the rain

Should've known that nothing really stands

When you're playing hit or miss again

Pre-Chorus

But the sun keeps climbing in my window

And the road keeps calling out my name

Every fallen down becomes a stepping stone

Every miss just teaches me to aim

Chorus

Hit or miss I'm swinging anyway

Missed the mark but I'm still in the game

Hit or miss that's the price I pay

Every wound is wearing off the shame

Hit or miss

(I keep on swinging)

Hit or miss

(I keep on singing)

Verse 2

Sweet talk silver lines they come and go

Empty promises on borrowed time

But I found a rhythm in the undertow

And the chords that rhyme with my own mind

Strummed a six string down by the river bend

Let the water take away the sting

Every ending's just another begin

Every miss just teaches me to sing

Pre-Chorus

'Cause the moon keeps turning in my pocket

And the stars are spilling through my hands

Every closing door is just a lock it

Every miss becomes another chance

Chorus

Hit or miss I'm swinging anyway

Missed the mark but I'm still in the game

Hit or miss that's the price I pay

Every wound is wearing off the shame

Hit or miss

(I keep on swinging)

Hit or miss

(I keep on singing)

Bridge

Some days I'm the arrow

Some days I'm the bow

Some days I'm standing still

When the whole world says go

But I'll take the miss

With the hit that follows

I'll take the fall

With the rise that follows

Chorus

Hit or miss I'm swinging anyway

Missed the mark but I'm still in the game

Hit or miss that's the price I pay

Every wound is wearing off the shame

Hit or miss

(I keep on swinging)

Hit or miss

(I keep on singing)

Outro

Mm

Hit or miss

Mm-hmm

Yeah I'm still swinging
