Sway Lyrics

I talk to you as to a friend
I hope that’s what you’ve
come to be
It feels as though we’ve
made amends
Like we found a way
eventually

It was you who picked
the pieces up
When I was a broken soul
And then glued me
back together
Returned to me what
others stole

I don’t wanna hurt you
I don’t wanna make you sway
Like I know I’ve done before
I will not do it anymore
I’ve always been a dreamer
I've had my head among
the clouds
Now that I’m coming down
Won’t you be my solid ground?

I look at you and see a friend
I hope that’s what you wanna be
Are we back now where
it all began?
Have you finally forgiven me?

You gathered my dreams in
When they all blew away
And then tricked them
back into me
You saved me I was
almost dead

I think this is about a guy who was friends with someone and he kind of wanted to be more...and he was kind of the boat rocker, and the other person was the one who was trying to hold on to what they had. Then he finally realizes what he's done and promises he wont do anything anymore. They started out friends and now they kind of ended up where they started. Though he admits to his wrong being and wants to continue with what they had. Also she was the one who made him what he is today. -she forgives him

i pick to agree with your view on the song because then i can relate it to myself lol

To me it seems as if he and somebody he was in a former relationship with have finally made amends and become friends. And he's sorry for all of the times he hurt her in the end because when looking at the whole situation she was the one who pieced him back together and saved him from a troubled time with her love.

LTJpunkRk13 you're right on w/ the meaning

haha. I have the Simlish version on my Myspace page. I'm such a nerd :)

But I really like the lyrics, even though I'm not in a similar situation so I can't really relate. . . but:

"It was you who picked the pieces up When I was a broken soul And then glued me back together Returned to me what others stole"

"I’ve always been a dreamer I've had my head among the clouds Now that I’m coming down Won’t you be my solid ground?"

"You gathered my dreams in When they all blew away And then tricked them back into me You saved me I was almost dead"

Those three parts are BEAUTIFULLY written and can be related to anyone who's been an important part of your life.

This is a very meaningful song to me as it marked the end of the really awkward relationship I've had with a girl. Unfortunately, things didn't play out in life as they do in the song. I really wish they did. I think out of the many broken relationship songs I've heard, Sway and Trouble Sleeping describe what happened to me most.

Thank you for the songs, guys.
