Sway
Danielle Bradbery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Life can really suck sometimes
But hey, can't live in a shadow
So here's a little piece of advice
Start by kicking off your shoes, leave 'em right by the door
Then you call a couple friends and you call a few more
Put a drink into your glass that will make you let go
That makes you wanna sway to the left and sway to the right
Get lost in a groove that'll make you lose your mind
Put a smile on your face, sends you right into a daze
No there ain't nothin' wrong when a song comes on
That makes you wanna sway, eh-eh-hey, eh-eh-hey, oh-oh-ooh
Hey, world's kinda messed up
We got no time for sittin' around
Waitin' for it to lit up
Let's break some rules and figure it out
Start by kicking off your shoes, leave 'em right by the door
Then you call a couple friends and you call a few more
Put a drink into your glass that will make you let go
Then you find something smooth on the radio
That makes you wanna sway to the left and sway to the right
Get lost in a groove that'll make you lose your mind
Put a smile on your face, sends you right into a daze
No there ain't nothin' wrong when a song comes on
That makes you wanna sway, eh-eh-hey, eh-eh-hey, oh-oh-ooh
That makes you wanna sway, eh-eh-hey, eh-eh-hey, oh-oh-ooh
Start by kicking off your shoes
And you find something smooth
Something that makes you wanna sway to the left and sway to the right
Get lost in a groove that'll make you lose your mind
Put a smile on your face, sends you right into a daze
No there ain't nothin' wrong when a song comes on
That makes you wanna sway, eh-eh-hey, eh-eh-hey, oh-oh-ooh
That makes you wanna sway, eh-eh-hey, eh-eh-hey, oh-oh-ooh

Nicely done! Cool song, great voice and a very slick production! Kudos!!
Allu mitchell
Her voice is amazing she deserves so much more attention
bella 0814
This should be everywhere. Whoever is in charge of promoting her should be fired. She should be on radio stations everywhere. There's no reason why everyone shouldn't know who she is. She has a beautiful voice, she is beautiful and humble, a great role model. And her new music is amazing. She should be headlining her own tour this year. I seriously don't get it
Fallenstar
bella 0814 her record labol is big machine . Same one for taylor Swift. U think he would or they would give her more recognition. Look at td videos. They r quality and they need to give danielle the same opportunity for her videos.
bella 0814
Renuka Brown completely agree
TheShrekster
bella 0814 I agree with you on why her music isn't getting more play on the Radio and when I request it they seem to never put it on the air and I know that I'm buying her new album when it comes out because in my mind she's got one of the Best Voices in Music and isn't getting the recognition she deserves
Fallenstar
Rosey Horsegirl listen to potential by her. Breathtaking
Roady
You don't understand how the music industry works. She will be popular. Just relax and let the storm blow in.
Ken Scott
Her own style and her own sound. I like this song. Very well done and unique.

I have been a fan since your auditioning on The Voice, and to this day I’ve never been disappointed. Your music has saved me and helped me through several difficult times. This song in particular... really brings a smile back to my face every single time I listen to it, no matter how low I’m feeling. So I just wanna say thank you to you and your kind music :)
