Sway
texas pandaa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wake up and open the window suddenly
I feel the season has come slowly to my room
Still remains the same air
The air that used to surround around us

The wind is already dry
I breath it, and it gives me more courage
Still remains the same feelings
The feelings that used to be the purest

I try not to accept what makes you take a step
I try to wish not to waste your time
Go back to your own life
You would be better now
And I turn my eyes away from yours

I walk in the park, step on some dead leaves
Now I believe the time has surely passed away
Still reminds me of your face
Your smiles after you saw my laughter

I try not to accept what makes you take a step
I try to wish not to waste your time
Go back to your own life
You would be better now
It would be easier
Now I know I was wrong and I wasn′t that clever
I didn't have the capacity of understanding and caring
The only thing I could do was turn my eyes away from yours

Crying of your face
Engraved in my eyes




Behind your back
Always sway

Overall Meaning

The song "Sway" by Texas Pandaa is a reflection on a past relationship and the feelings that still remain after it has ended. The lyrics describe the changing of seasons and the passing of time, while the memories of the relationship still linger. The singer tries to push away their feelings and accept that the other person has moved on, but they are unable to forget the moments they shared together.


In the first verse, the singer wakes up to the changing season, but the air around them remains the same as it did when they were with their former partner. They reference the pure feelings they had with their now-ex, but know that they must try not to hold onto what can no longer be. In the second verse, the singer is reminded of their past relationship while walking in the park and stepping on dead leaves. They acknowledge that they were not understanding or caring enough in the relationship, but still find themselves unable to let go of the memories.


The chorus repeats the sentiment of accepting that the other person has moved on and wishing them the best, while acknowledging the difficulty of doing so. The final line of the song, "behind your back, always sway," suggests that even when the singer is trying to move on and let go, the memories and emotions associated with the relationship continue to sway and affect them.

Behind your back
Without your knowledge


Always sway
I'm constantly swayed by thoughts of you
