Sway Lyrics
My heart has drifted out into a place I cannot find
And the days go by searching all the time
I was searching all, searching all the time
I looked into the eyes, the eyes of everyone I know
And the days go by wondering where to go
I was searching all, searching all the time
I tell myself these bitter, these bitter days will end
You gotta, you just gotta let them go, just let go
So, I stumble and I sway into the room and I fade
I hope my darkest day are behind me
I want to stay here in the sun for a while
I hope my darkest days are behind me
Oh for way too long these things they occupy my mind
And all the things that I, things I left behind
I was searching all, searching all the time
Oh my my my these bitter, these bitter days will end
You gotta, you just gotta let them go, just let go
So, I stumble and I sway into the room and I fade
I hope my darkest days are behind me
I want to stay here in the sun for a while
I saw i saw the wide old world wide old way
And I saw I saw the wide old world wide old way
And the days go by searching all the time
I was searching all, searching all the time
And the days go by wondering where to go
I was searching all, searching all the time
You gotta, you just gotta let them go, just let go
I hope my darkest day are behind me
I want to stay here in the sun for a while
I hope my darkest days are behind me
And all the things that I, things I left behind
I was searching all, searching all the time
You gotta, you just gotta let them go, just let go
I hope my darkest days are behind me
I want to stay here in the sun for a while
I saw i saw the wide old world wide old way

I think this one is pretty straightforward. She feels lost, heartbroken and alone. Friends and family members just can't relate and this makes her feel even worse. She has a glimmer of hope, she is down but not out . Maybe she drinks to try and numb the pain, and in those moments she is able to somewhat let go and she wants to be able to stay in that somewhat happy place. It gives her contrast of her otherwise sorry state.
I really love the lyrics , the music and her voice. It was an instant favorite the first time I heard it.
She's lost and disturbed. She's searching for something, just like everyone is.
She's just "swaying" into the room.
1) Maybe that means she's so overwhelmed that the only thing left to do is to not care about anything and do as she pleases.
2) Or she was going through a rough time and now learns to take it easy and not be hard on herself.
This song really speaks to me. It's like a big relief. The light at the end of the tunnel.
When the world falls apart, just sway into the room and the world will not seem so bleak anymore.
