Come Out Swinging Lyrics
You brace and hold it all inside
It's more than you can stand
No one around even tries
Tries to understand
Don't turn away, don't turn away
Come out swinging
Come out alone
They're in your way
But as long as you're swinging
Strong then you'll get by
Your pacing's wearing out a line
Right beside your bed
The scene replays a million times
Stuck inside your head
And though you stand in place
Your mind escapes
Read between the lies
Smile's on your face
You fake like you're ok
Don't turn away, don't turn away
Come out swinging
Out on your own
They're in your way
You may be stinging
But you'll get by
Don't turn away, don't turn away
Come out swinging
Never alone again
The pain inside can guide your way
Midnight, no sleep
Inside, you scream to
No one, hears you fall
Daylight, prove me today
One more try
Don't turn away, don't turn
Come out swinging
Come out alone
They're in your way
You may be stinging
But you'll get by
Don't turn away, don't turn away
Come out swinging
Never alone again
Pain inside
Leads you through so you'll get by
It's more than you can stand
No one around even tries
Tries to understand
Come out swinging
Come out alone
They're in your way
But as long as you're swinging
Strong then you'll get by
Right beside your bed
The scene replays a million times
Stuck inside your head
Your mind escapes
Read between the lies
Smile's on your face
You fake like you're ok
Come out swinging
Out on your own
They're in your way
You may be stinging
But you'll get by
Don't turn away, don't turn away
Come out swinging
Never alone again
The pain inside can guide your way
Inside, you scream to
No one, hears you fall
Daylight, prove me today
One more try
Come out swinging
Come out alone
They're in your way
You may be stinging
But you'll get by
Don't turn away, don't turn away
Come out swinging
Never alone again
Pain inside
Leads you through so you'll get by

I wrote the entire lyrics on my math desk when I wasn't feeling so great...I love this song so much
I love this song! The message I think is that no matter what the odds, never give up the fight!
if nobody cares you do it on your own. you dont need other peoples crap
It is a good song... i concur
this song rocks! totally! I always play it to my mates when they feel like they can't face anyone anymore and it cheers them right up.. (except when I sing it lol!!) :)
Cool song i think everyone gets what its about, and on the subject of this song I believe the Offspring made crazy taxi the game it is! I really like playing the Midnight no sleep.. build up, great stuff.
No matter how much shit you're forced to go through, as long as you stay strong, you can make it through.
