Sway Lyrics

For me, it's about that cocktail of emotions felt when you see someone that you have fallen in love with, every day, and you are not sure whether they love you back.

'I'm practising your name so I, can tell it, to your face' She's not even sure at this point if he is aware of her existence, because it seems like she has never spoken to him about her feelings before.

'Let all the things you mean to me, come tumbling out my mouth' This is her confessing her secret love for someone. Can they really appreciate how much she loves them?

I kissed an ex to this for the first time at a party. I'd admired her for a while, and we were quite good friends. We were dancing and getting close, and then when the first chorus hit, we were just all over each other. I have some fantastic memories of this song.
