Sway
Moon/Ruin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Saturday night doing just fine
Until I saw you dancing
Could not deny the fever inside
Gave you my heart without you asking

All eyes on you and the way that you move
But your body's calling out to me
Pulls me in close the fire it grows
And I'm not ready to let go

Bodies entwined we groove side to side
Riding the current as you move your hips
So mesmerized I'm losing my mind
Feel the soft touch of your fingertips

My hand on your waist and I'm craving a taste
Of the sugar I see on your lips
Spin you around we're slaves to the sound
Ready for another round so

Please sway a little more
I wanna swim inside your ocean
Let your waves break on my shore
Please sway a little more
Until the morning shines upon us
And we're the last two on the floor

Now it's getting late there's no time to waste
Wondering if you'll let me take you home
Look in my eyes, place your hand in mine
And baby I'm all yours tonight

Up to your room this dance floor for two
Gonna rock your body tenderly
Pull you in tight and turn out the lights
Hope you're ready for a long night

Please sway a little more
I wanna swim inside your ocean
Let your waves break on my shore
Please sway a little more
Until the morning shines upon us
And we're the last two on the floor

Rock me to the rhythm
Rock me baby
Rock me to the motion of your body

Rock me to the rhythm
Rock me baby
Rock me to the motion of your body

Rock me to the rhythm
Rock me baby
Rock me to the motion of your body

Rock me to the rhythm
Rock me baby
Rock me to the motion of your body

Please sway a little more
Please sway a little more
Please sway a little more
Please sway a little more

You're the one that I want
You're the only one for me
When I saw you on the dance floor
It drove me crazy
Don't tell me what you need
I'll give you what you like
Although nothing's guaranteed
We can still enjoy the ride
I've never seen somebody move like you
And no one wears a smile the way you do
You pull me in with those heartbreak eyes
But I'll be fine if we can sway all night

Please sway a little more
I wanna swim inside your ocean
Let your waves break on my shore
Please sway a little more
Until the morning shines upon us
And we're the last two on the floor

Please sway a little more
I wanna swim inside your ocean
Let your waves break on my shore
Please sway a little more
Until the morning shines upon us
And we're the last two on the floor

Lady the way you're moving it's amazing




So baby won't you keep swaying
I want you close until the morning

Buble is just soothing! Also, it always surprise me when you can find the orginal artist of a popularized covers song!
