Songtexte Sway - Rare Americans

My father had a lot to say
But he had a lifetime in the way
Empty bottles every day
The words' unspoken barricades

Fallen into a haze
Blasting music as
He'd sway, he'd sway, he'd sway, he'd sway, he'd sway (sway, sway)
He'd sway, he'd sway, he'd sway, he'd sway, he'd sway

You couldn't slow down
You couldn't slow down
And time ran out
Your time ran out

Early morning memories
Eating breakfast, you're at peace
"Can you pass the paper, please?"
You'd say with wine stains on your teeth

Pretend it was just a dream
I know you'd seen some awful scenes
You'd say it was your everythin'
You didn't know I'd watch you as
You'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway (sway, sway)
You'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway

You could've slowed down
You could've slowed down
But time ran out
Your time ran out

Why do I feel your pain?
I can't avoid it much these days
Bottles by the kitchen sink
I should have done some shitty things

I didn't know what to think
When I saw you at your brink
Writing down everything
Watching as
You'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway
You'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway

Can I slow it down?
Can I slow it down
And turn it around?
I'll turn it around
Around
