Well, the telephone rang but 
I missed the call('Cause I was too busy out trying to break the law)
Only nineteen but 
I knew it all
Two bad tattoos and an attitude problem
I seen the sun go down on the west side
I've taken one or two hearts for dessert
It ain't what 
I need, it's about what 
I wantAnd 
I don't wanna take it no more
This could be the end
I'm not holdin' on
I can't go on any longer
So listen close, my friends
I may be who you loved
Please just think 
I mean it when 
I'm goneYeah, this is the swan song
When the curtain falls at the quarter hall
I'll be writing my number on the bathroom wall(For a good time, call me anytime you want)
But I may not listen 'cause 
I heard it all
I seen the sun go down on the west side
I'll write a song, you can sing it the next time
It ain't what 
I need, it's about what 
I wantAnd 
I don't wanna take it no more
This could be the end
I'm not holdin' on
I can't go on any longer
So listen close, my friends
I may be who you loved
Please just think 
I mean it when 
I'm goneThis is a swan song
He wants you to sing it, do you wanna rhyme?
This is a swan song
I feel I can write it down, 
I got the time
This is a swan song
I know I said 
I'll write it but that was last night
And I don't wanna take it no more'
Cause this could be the end
I'm not holdin' on
I can't go on any longer
So listen close, my friends
I may be who you know
Please just think 
I mean it when 
I'm goneYeah
I'm not holdin' on
I'm not holdin' on
I can't go on
So listen close, my friends
I may be who you know
Please just think 
I mean it when 
I'm goneYeah, this is a swan song
This is a swan song
