Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gimme what's on your mind
Telling me everything, but it ain't happening
Wish I could reach your vibe
Making movements
And I don't think you're looking for a new friend
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Right, if you're waiting here, can we get out of here?
So if you're into me, I got the energy
Why are you on your phone?
'Cause the truth is
I'm not really looking for a new friend
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't see nothing wrong
With you and me getting along
I don't see nothing wrong
With you and me getting along, so
Sway with me
Don't speak
Stay with me
No sleep
Baby, are you tied up?
I don't wanna know now
Are we gonna stay up?
Are we gonna get out this crowd?
Sway with me
Both of us, kinda shy, but we ain't got the time
Wanna get out these clothes
Honestly I don't care, we can go anywhere
Wanna see how this goes
But the truth is
All this acting cool is kinda useless
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Morning is comin' in, tell me you're feelin' it

The lyrics of Tove Styrke’s song “Sway” are about wanting to be more than just friends with someone and trying to convince them to give the relationship a shot. The singer expresses her desire to take things further and get to know the person better. She senses chemistry between them and wishes the other person would provide some verbal confirmation of that feeling. The singer is frustrated with the mixed signals the other person is sending and wants them to make a move. She is confident in her abilities to create an enjoyable atmosphere, and she wants the other person to let go of their doubts and “sway” with her.
The tone of the lyrics is flirty and playful, but there is a sense of urgency and desire to progress the relationship. The singer acknowledges the other person's hesitation but emphasizes that she is not interested in being just friends. She is straightforward about her intentions and is willing to take a chance. The chorus repeats the line “Sway with me” several times, and it is repeated in a way that is both encouraging and persuasive.
Line by Line Meaning
I got a feeling that we got a chemistry
I sense attraction between us
Gimme what's on your mind
Tell me what you're thinking
Telling me everything, but it ain't happening
You're revealing your thoughts, but nothing is happening between us
Wish I could reach your vibe
I want to understand your energy
Making movements
We're dancing or physically showing our attraction
And I don't think you're looking for a new friend
I sense that you're interested in more than just friendship
Right, if you're waiting here, can we get out of here?
Let's leave this place if we're just waiting around
Wanna get you alone
I want to be alone with you
So if you're into me, I got the energy
I have the energy if you're interested in pursuing this
Why are you on your phone?
Why are you distracted by your phone instead of being present with me?
'Cause the truth is
To be honest
I'm not really looking for a new friend
I'm not interested in just being friends
I don't see nothing wrong
I don't see anything wrong
With you and me getting along
With us having a connection
Sway with me
Dance with me
Don't speak
Let's communicate through our physical connection instead of words
Stay with me
Keep close to me
No sleep
Let's stay up all night
Baby, are you tied up?
Are you busy or unavailable?
Are we gonna stay up?
Do you want to stay up all night with me?
Are we gonna get out this crowd?
Do you want to leave this place with me?
Both of us, kinda shy, but we ain't got the time
We're both a little shy, but we don't have time to waste
Wanna get out these clothes
I want to be intimate with you
Honestly I don't care, we can go anywhere
I'm open to whatever happens between us
Wanna see how this goes
I want to explore our physical connection
All this acting cool is kinda useless
Our attempts to play it cool are not helping the situation
Morning is comin' in, tell me you're feelin' it
It's getting late, tell me if you're feeling the same attraction
Don't look around
Focus on me, ignore distractions
Got other plans I can make
I have other options, but I want to be with you
If you're gon' waste it, then you gotta let me know
If you're not interested, tell me now so we don't waste our time
Don't you waste it
Let's not waste this opportunity
Don't be actin' stupid 'cause you're wasted
Don't let being drunk make you act foolish
Show me
Express your feelings through your physical actions
What I need
Give me what I desire
Baby, are you tied up?
Are you busy or unavailable?
Sway
Dance with me
