Sway (Demo)

Desert, middle of winter
My feet, they know America
My cheek, frozen window
My eyes eat up a handful
Gaining and then I'm leaving
Just as it starts to happen
Sometimes I feel the distance
But then I remember being kids
And swinging in the light of the disco ball
Shut my eyes, I'm still swinging in the light of the disco ball
Old part is all melting
My friend shows me everything
We run around inside our high school
The hoop in my stomach gets dunked
Over and over, think of my boys
They're in class stirring up another continent
Right now I feel the missing
But then I remember being held
And swinging in the light of the disco ball
Swinging in the light of the disco ball
(Time to go)
Back there now, I'm swinging the light of the disco ball
I'm still swinging in the light of the disco ball
Back there now, I'm swinging in the light of the disco ball
(Time to go)
Thought I'd be forever in the light that way
Thought I would be swaying now
Thought I'd be forever in the light that way
Thought I would be swaying now
Thought I'd be forever in the light that way
Thought I would be swaying now, be swaying now
Thought I'd be forever in the light that way
Thought I would be swaying now
Thought I'd be forever in the light that way
Thought I would be swaying now
Thought I'd be forever in the light that way
Thought I would be swaying now
Thought I'd be forever in the light that way
Thought I would be swaying now, would be swaying now
Thought I'd be forever in the light that way
Thought I would be swaying now
Thought I'd be forever in the light that way
Thought I would be swaying now
Thought I'd be forever in the light that way
Thought I would be swaying now
Thought I'd be forever in the light that way
Thought I would be swaying now
Thought I'd be forever in the light that way
