lyrics

Didn't like the growing up thing, but what about her?
She is crystallized in a picture for ever
and it won't let her go,
an iron frame keeps her from the world.
Oh, Emma, what about time?

And I'd like to crash the clocks that rule our lives, all of them
but I can't dissolve the borders of our minds, they're always there.
There is music playing in her head, her hair is floating
and Emma doesn't mind,
Emma's on the swing.

And she's suddenly aware of a new weight
that is soft like the snow but still it hurts
and so she's praying
that the days won't get shorter
that summer never ends and there is no fall
that time can be defeated if you really want to
and there's no school tomorrow,
there is no tomorrow.

But somehow a smile can break through like a cloud's silver lining
she can see she's just another kind of star, only darker
in the middle of a thousand neon lights.
Emma's on the swing
and it's ok,
Emma's on the swing
shining bright,
Emma's on the swing.
