MYMP Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 your 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
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 everythings 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 (2x)
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 (2x)
It's all because of you
It's all because of you
It's all because of you
The lyrics of MYMP's song "Sway" talk about the infatuation and uncertainty that come with falling in love. The song asks the person not to stray or go away, as the singer knows that they are too smart to let themselves fall for someone who might not be good for them. However, despite this knowledge, the singer admits that they cannot help being drawn to this person and falling into an "ocean" of them.
The chorus asks the person to "sway" the singer's way and stay with them, instead of coming and going as they please. The singer wants to know all about this person and why they have such a hold on them, as they are left feeling tired and uninspired by the constant doubt and battling between their head and heart.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of vulnerability and how it can be difficult to express one's feelings to someone else, even if they mean everything to you. The singer struggles to look the person in the eye and express how they feel, instead practicing saying their name so they can tell them to their face. Despite the doubts and uncertainty, the singer believes that their feelings for this person are "infinitely true," making them want to stay by their side.
Line by Line Meaning
Don't stray
Don't wander away from me
Don't ever go away
Promise you'll never leave me
I should be much too smart for this
I know I shouldn't let myself fall for you
You know it gets the better of me
But I can't help myself around you
Sometimes
Occasionally
When you and I collide
When we're together
I fall into an ocean of you
I get lost in my feelings for you
Pull me out in time
Save me before I go too far
Don't let me drown
Don't let me suffocate in my emotions
Let me down
Disappoint me
I say it's all because of you
My feelings are your fault
And here I go
I'm about to lose control
Losing my control
Losing my ability to resist you
I'm practicing your name
I keep saying your name to myself
So I can say it to your face
So that one day I can tell you how I feel
It doesn't seem right
It feels wrong
To look you in your eye
To make eye contact with you
Let all the things you mean to me
Tell you how much you matter to me
Come tumbling out my mouth
Spill out uncontrollably
Indeed it's time
It's finally time
To tell you why
To explain how I feel
I say it's infinitely true
I truly mean it
Say you'll stay
Promise you'll stick around
Don't come and go
Don't be inconsistent in our relationship
Like you do
Like you have in the past
Sway my way
Let me influence you towards me
Yeah I need to know
I want to understand you better
All about you
Everything there is to know
And there's no cure
This feeling won't go away
And no way to be sure
I can't be certain of anything
Why everythings turned inside out
Why my life feels upside down because of you
Instilling so much doubt
Making me question everything
It makes me so tired
It wears me out
I feel so uninspired
I'm lacking creativity or motivation
My head is battling with my heart
I'm torn between what I think and what I feel
My logic has been torn apart
My rationality has been compromised
Come sweeten
Make it better
Every afternoon
Every day
It's all because of you
It's your fault
