Sway
Paolo Sandejas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know what you′re thinking
It's been too long since we last spoke and
I can see it now it′s written on your face
So why do we keep playing games
I've never been the type to run, never been the type to let go go go
Ever since the day you left, my life's been such a mess, baby now
Do you remember, ′cause I remember so
Sway with me baby, just sway with me baby
Don′t you let me go
Sway with me baby, just sway with me baby
Won't you let me know
It′s been two long years since the day we ended
Makeup runnin' fallin′ deep in the abyss
Conversation flowin' heads against my chest
Blood shot eyes as I looked at you and said
I′ve never been the type to run, never been the type to let go go go
Ever since the day you left, my life's been such a mess, baby now
Everytime I see your face remember the good old days
Do you remember, 'cause I remember so
Sway with me baby, just sway with me baby
Don′t you let me go
Sway with me baby, just sway with me baby
Won′t you let me know
Come back to me, come back to me my dear
Come back to me, come back to me my baby
Come back to me, come back to me my dear
Come back to me, come back to me, come back to me
Sway with me baby, just sway with me baby
Don't you let me go (don′t you let me go)
Sway with me baby, just sway with me baby
Won't you let me know
The song "Sway" by Paolo Sandejas is a soulful and emotional plea to a past lover. In the first verse, Sandejas sings about being able to read the thoughts of the person he's singing to. He notices the longing in their eyes and wonders why they continue to play games. It's clear that Sandejas is still in love and willing to stay put despite the uncertainty of the situation. The chorus is a simple yet effective plea for the person he's singing to, to simply "sway" with him, to not be let go of.
The second verse speaks to the history and depth of the relationship. It's been two years since they last saw each other, and he remembers every moment with vivid detail. He has never been one to run away from his problems, to let go easily. Despite the mess that his life has been since their break up, he wants them to come back to him, and to remember the good times they shared. The chorus is repeated, and it becomes clear that the repetition of "sway with me" is more than just a dance invitation. It is an intimate and emotional plea of desperation for the person he still loves to return to him.
Overall, the song "Sway" is a poignant reminder of how difficult it can be to move on from past loves. Paolo Sandejas sings with vulnerability and emotion, creating a powerful message that resonates with anyone who has experienced heartbreak.
