American Pie
Lyrics for Song: Sway [Bic Runga]
Lyrics for Album: American Pie [Soundtrack] [1999]
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 practicing 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 infinitely true
[CHORUS:]
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
[CHORUS TWICE]
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
[CHORUS TWICE]
It's all because of you
It's all because of you
It's all because of you

Sway [Bic Runga]
American Pie's version of "Sway" serves as a pivotal track on the 1999 soundtrack, blending the band's signature rock energy with the melodic sensibilities of Bic Runga. While the original song is a staple of the 1990s pop-punk and alternative rock landscape, this recording captures a specific moment in the band's evolution during the late nineties. The track features a driving rhythm section and Runga's distinctive vocal delivery, which became a hallmark of their work on this project. It stands alongside other notable contributions from artists like Blink-182 and Sum 41, contributing to the soundtrack's enduring legacy as a defining collection of the era's youth-oriented rock music. The song remains a popular choice for fans of the genre and the film's musical identity. |
