Sway

Lyrics

[Verse 1] My father had a lot to say But he had a lifetime in the way Empty bottles everyday The words are unspoken barricades Falling into a haze Blasting music as he'd sway, he'd sway, he'd sway, he'd sway, he'd sway He'd sway, he'd sway, he'd sway, he'd sway, he'd sway [Chorus] You couldn't slow down You couldn't slow down And time ran out Ya' time ran out Ya' time ran out [Verse 2] Early morning memories Eating breakfast, you're at peace "Can you pass the paper please?" You'd say with wine stains on your teeth Pretend it was just a dream I know you've seen some awful scenes You'd say I was your everything You didn't know I'd watch you as you'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway You'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway, you'd sway [Chorus] You could've slowed down You couldn't slow down But time ran out Ya' time ran out [Verse 3] Father I feel your pain I can't avoid it much these days (I can't avoid it much these days) Bottles by the kitchen sink I sure have done some shitty things (I sure have done some shitty things) I didn't know what to think When I saw you at your brink (When I saw you at your brink) Writing down everything (Writing down everything) Watching as you'd sway (Watching as you'd sway) You'd sway (You'd sway) You'd sway (You'd sway) You'd sway (You'd sway) You'd sway (You'd sway) You'd sway (You'd sway) [Chorus] Can I slow it down? Can I slow it down? And turn it around? I'll turn it around Around
