Sway
Vox Trot Lyrics

I can take a road
I have the ability to make decisions about my own path in life

Takes a little longer
Sometimes the right path takes more time and effort to achieve

Walk before the house where we had our games
Remembering the past and simpler times can bring comfort during difficult moments

Suffering life, play, making, we discovered fire
Humanity has experienced struggles and successes throughout history that have shaped our existence

People like you made me so much stronger
Other people and their actions have the power to impact our personal growth in a positive way

People like you made me question blame
The influence of certain individuals can make us reconsider our assumptions and biases

Huddled in strength like birds on a sloping wire
Working together and forming strong connections with others can provide a sense of safety and support

Hearing your voice makes me so uneasy
Certain people or memories can cause discomfort or distress

Hearing your voice makes me question fame
Chasing fame or success may not always be as fulfilling or meaningful as we initially perceive

Money is deaf to the sound of a lover's cry
Material possessions and financial gain cannot fulfill emotional or interpersonal needs

The language of loss made me so much older
Experiencing loss or tragedy can bring maturity and wisdom beyond one's years

The language of loss made me lose my grip
Suffering through difficult times can cause a loss of control or emotional stability

The language of loss made me silent as a newborn child
Grief can leave us feeling helpless and unable to express ourselves through words or actions

'cause everything moves in a shifting cycle
Life is constantly in motion and unpredictable in its ups and downs

The unison soars and the pressure dips
Working together and supporting each other can lead to great successes but also challenging moments

Making our way steadfast in the skyward mile
Pushing forward and persevering through tough times can eventually lead to progress and change

And baby I know I will see you someday
Despite challenges and distance, faith remains in the possibility of reuniting with loved ones

Building your house on the very street
Creating a home and sense of belonging can provide comfort and stability in a changing world

You severed your mother's life from your father's land
Personal conflicts or choices can create rifts and tensions within families or communities

Finish your home we can join them this way
Working towards a common goal and supporting each other can lead to unity and healing

We talked about peace and a little dream
Fostering a shared vision and discussing goals can bring people together and create hope for the future

Marriage and love and divorce we don't understand
Relationships and the human heart are complex and challenging to navigate

And you know I have to sway my leaves and branches slowly
Sometimes it's necessary to take a step back and reflect, moving forward gradually

Out in the sun, like the silent shout of youth
Experiencing life and finding one's voice can be a slow but powerful process

And we ask why do we take these leaps and chances
In life, we often take risks and try new things in order to learn and grow

Because we have no choice but to wither into truth
Facing reality and the consequences of our actions is an inevitable part of life

And I dreamed you were there
Memories and fantasies can bring bittersweet comfort during difficult times

All the vital signs were standing
Hope and faith in a better future remained strong despite hardships

So complete and undemanding
Certain moments or relationships can feel fulfilling and effortless

We know the love that gives
True love is selfless, giving, and sustaining

Is what the living always lack
While we may experience love at times, it is a constant search and challenge in life
