Sway Songtext
von Matt Nathanson

Midnight in Chinatown
Bars kicking people out
Stumbling into an empty street
All of our friends complain
About how this city′s changed
But it's only ever been you and me

Most of us talk too much
Never say enough
Whole world trying to disappear
Above the wasted words
Above the fireworks
You′ve only ever been clear

I was lost and you knew it
Tied in knots, you'd undo 'em
Tried to drown, felt worthless
But you were waiting for me at the surface


Oh, baby, I love the way you sway
When you′re dancing to a bad wedding band
Oh baby, I love the moves you make
When it′s raining and you try to hail a cab
I could watch you forever
Hold you and never care how long it takes
Learning to play that song that makes you sway

I was lost and you knew it
Tied in knots, you'd undo ′em
Tried to drown, felt worthless
But you were waiting for me at the surface

Oh, baby, I love the way you sway
When you're dancing to a bad wedding band
Oh baby, I love the moves you make
When it′s late and you're trying to hail a cab
I could watch you forever
Hold you and never care how long it takes
Learning to play that song that makes you sway
Learning to play those songs that makes you sway
