I took the Polaroid down in my room
I'm pretty sure you have a new girlfriend
It's not as if I don't like you
It just makes me sad whenever I see it
'cause I like to be gone most of the time
And you like to be home most of the time
If I stay in one place I lose my mind
I'm a pretty impossible lady to be with
Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride
And I never met a Toby that I didn't like
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended
Even if he didn't I wouldn't be offended [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/k/kimya_dawson/tire_swing.html ]
I had a dream that I had to drive to Madison
To deliver a painting for some silly reason
I took a wrong turn and ended up in Michigan
Paul Baribeau took me to the giant tire swing
Gave me a push and he started singing
I sang along while I was swinging
The sound of our voices made us forget everything
That had ever hurt our feelings
Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride
And I never met a Toby that I didn't like
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended
Even if he didn't I wouldn't be offended
'€¦wouldn't be offended
Now I'm home for less than twenty-four hours
That's hardly time to take a shower
Hug my family and take your picture off the wall
Check my email write a song and make a few phone calls
Before it's time to leave again
I've got one hand on the steering wheel
One waving out the window
If I'm a spinster for the rest of my life
My arms will keep me warm on cold and lonely nights
Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride
And I never met a Toby that I didn't like
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended
Even if he didn't I wouldn't be offended.

I think tire swing is about how the lady has gone through a lot of guys, and how she can't really stay in one place for too long.

People have their differences and sometimes you have to escape to a dream world to get away from what is reality.. Even if after all of your years as a single, you still dont find anyone, you should be content with yourself and the life youve lived.. Maybe :b

Missing someone who you used to be so close with and then looking at a photo and everything just comes back.
The wierd sort of ease with which this song is sung is amazing. I especially like the lines "joey never met a bike... " even though they do not fit properly with the rest of the song. Overall, this song is really good and the way its sung, makes its even more special.
