Bic Runga - Sway

Don't stray
Don't ever go away
I should be much too
smart for this
You know it gets
the better of me
Sometimes
when you and I collide
I fall into an ocean of you
pull me out in time
Don't let me drown
let me down
I say it's all because of you
And here I go
losing my control
I'm practising your name
so I can say it to your face
It doesn't seem right
to look you in the eye
Let all the things
you mean to me
Come tumbling out my mouth
Indeed it's time to
tell you why
I say it's infintely true
Say you'll stay
don't come and go like you do
Sway my way
yeah I need to know
all about you
And there's no cure
and no way to be sure
Why everything's
turned inside out
Instilling so much doubt
It makes me so tired
I feel so uninspired
My head is battling
with my heart
My logic has been torn apart
And now it all turns sour
Come sweeten every afternoon
Say you'll stay
don't come and go like you do
Sway my way
yeah I need to know
all about you
Say you'll stay
don't come and go like you do
Sway my way
yeah I need to know
all about you
It's all because of you
it's all because of you

Now it all turns sour
come sweeten every afternoon
It's time to tell you why
I say it's infinitely true
Say you'll stay
don't come and go like you do
Sway my way
yeah I need to know
all about you
Say you'll stay
don't come and go like you do
Sway my way
yeah I need to know
all about you
It's all because of you
it's all because of you
It's all because of you

Don't stray
Don't ever go away
I should be much too
smart for this
You know it gets
the better of me
Sometimes
when you and I collide
I fall into an ocean of you
pull me out in time
Don't let me drown
let me down
I say it's all because of you
And here I go
losing my control
I'm practising your name
so I can say it to your face
It doesn't seem right
to look you in the eye
Let all the things
you mean to me
Come tumbling out my mouth
Indeed it's time to

Say you'll stay

It's all because of you
it's all because of you
It's all because of you
