Lyrics for Song: Sway
Lyrics for Album: Be Not Nobody
My heart, your hands, gentle my friend
Break me neatly, numb me sweetly
Say you would, say you could
Say you'd come and stop the rain
Say you try and hold me tight
And you just give me away
Make me high on lullabies
A melody for me to sway
Say you would, say you could
And you don't do anything
Come down heavy, try and steady
Precious ladies, love you, love me...
Say you would, say you could
Say you'd come and stop the rain
Say you try and hold me tight
And you just give me away
Make me high on lullabies
A melody for me to sway
Say you would, say you could
And you don't do anything
Hold my head up to the lies that you feed me
I'll fall under the spell you cast as you let me down
Say you would, say you could
Say you'd come and stop the rain
Say you'd try and hold me tight
And you just give me away
Make me high on lullabies
A melody for me to sway
Make me high on lullabies a melody for me to sway
Say you would, say you could
Say you'd come and stop the rain
Say you try and hold me tight
And you just give me away
Make me high on lullabies
A melody for me to sway
Say you would, say you could
And you don't do anything
Say you'd come and stop the rain
(Repeat till fade)

Sway
Sway stands as a standout track on Vanessa Carlton's 2011 album, Be Not Nobody. Moving away from the piano-driven pop that defined her earlier career, this recording embraces a more rhythmic, Latin-inflected groove. The song showcases Carlton's ability to blend sophisticated musical arrangements with her signature melodic sensibilities. As part of an album that explores themes of identity and connection, Sway contributes to a cohesive body of work that highlights her evolution as a songwriter. The track demonstrates her willingness to experiment with tempo and instrumentation while maintaining the emotional depth found throughout her discography. It remains a notable song in her catalogue, reflecting the artistic risks she took during this period of her career. |
