Sway
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don´t stray
Don´t ever go away
I shouldn´t
you´re much too smart for this
you know it gets the better of me
sometimes when you and I collide
I fall into an ocean of you
pull me out in time
Don´t let me drown
Let me down
I say it´s all because of you
And here I go
Losing my control
I´m practicing you´re name
So I can say it to you´re face
It doesn´t seem right
To look you in the eye
Let all the things you mean to me
Tumbling out my mouth
And beat its time
Tell me why you say its infinitely true
Say or stay don´t come and go like you do
Sway my way
yea i need to know all about you
and there´s no cure
and no way to be sure
why everything´s turned inside out
Instilling so much doubt
it makes me so tired
I feel so uninspired
My head is battling with my heart
And my logic has been torn apart
And now it all turns sour
Come sweeten the every afternoon
say or stay
Don´t come and go like you do
sway my way
yea i need to know all about you
say or stay
Don´t come and go like you do
sway my way
I need to know all about you
its all because of you
its all because of you
now it all turns sour
come sweeten the every afternoon
its time tell me why
you say its infinitly true
say or stay
dont come and go like you do
sway my way
yea I need to kno all about you
say or stay
dont come and go like you do
sway my way
yea I need to kno all about you
its all because of you
its all because of you
its all because of you
