Lyrics

Sway

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

Sometimes I feel the distance

But then I remember being kids

And swaying in the light of the disco ball

Shut my eyes, I'm still swaying in the light of the disco ball

[Verse 2]

Oak Park, it's all melting

My friend shows me everything

We run around inside her 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 them missing

[Chorus]

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 swaying the light of the disco ball

I'm still swinging in the light of the disco ball

Back there now, I'm swaying in the light of the disco ball

(Time to go)

[Outro]

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
