American Pie - Sway [Bic Runga] lyrics

Don't stray, don't ever go away

I should be much too smart for this

You know it gets the better of me

Sometimes, when you and I collide

I fall into an ocean of you, pull me out in time

Don't let me drown, let me down

I say it's all because of you

And here I go, losing my control

I'm practicing your name so I can say it to your face

It doesn't seem right, to look you in the eye

Let all the things you mean to me

Come tumbling out my mouth

Indeed it's time to tell you why

I say it's infinitely true

[CHORUS:]

Say you'll stay, don't come and go

Like you do

Sway my way, yeah I need to know

All about you

And there's no cure, and no way to be sure

Why everything's turned inside out

Instilling so much doubt

It makes me so tired - I feel so uninspired

My head is battling with my heart

My logic has been torn apart

And now it all turns sour

Come sweeten every afternoon

[CHORUS TWICE]

It's all because of you

It's all because of you

Now it all turns sour, come sweeten every afternoon

It's time to tell you why, I say it's infinitely true

[CHORUS TWICE]

It's all because of you

It's all because of you

It's all because of you
