Sway

My father had a lot to say But he had a lifetime in the way Empty bottles every day The words' unspoken barricades Fallen into a haze Blasting music as He'd sway, he'd sway, he'd sway, he'd sway, he'd sway (sway, sway) He'd sway, he'd sway, he'd sway, he'd sway, he'd sway You couldn't slow down You couldn't slow down And time ran out Your time ran out Early morning memories Eating breakfast, you're at peace "Can you pass the paper, please?" You'd say with wine stains on your teeth Pretend it was just a dream I know you'd seen some awful scenes You'd say it was your everythin' You didn't know I'd watch you as You'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway (sway, sway) You'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway You could've slowed down You could've slowed down But time ran out Your time ran out Why do I feel your pain? I can't avoid it much these days Bottles by the kitchen sink I should have done some shitty things I didn't know what to think When I saw you at your brink Writing down everything Watching as You'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway You'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway Can I slow it down? Can I slow it down And turn it around? I'll turn it around Around
