Sway Like You Mean It

Verse

Copper light on the tile floor

Kick my shoes by the door

Six-string humming through the screen

Summer's loosest tambourine

Ice cube melting in my glass

Watch the evening turn to brass

Nobody's watching, nobody's keeping score

Pre-Chorus

So what's holding you back now

Feet are itching, don't know how

To stay still when the room's on fire

Isn't that what we came here for

Chorus

Sway like you mean it

Let your hips do the talking tonight

Sway like you mean it

Loose and easy, we're feeling alright

No clock on the wall

No reason at all

Just sway like you mean it tonight

Verse

Paper lanterns, red and gold

Story that we never told

Bare feet dragging through the sand

Salt still drying on your hand

Trumpet leaning on the wall

Waiting for the horns to call

This little corner where the whole world's on hold

Pre-Chorus

So what's holding you back now

Palms up, easy, take a bow

The night's already halfway open

Isn't that what we came here for

Chorus

Sway like you mean it

Let your hips do the talking tonight

Sway like you mean it

Loose and easy, we're feeling alright

No clock on the wall

No reason at all

Just sway like you mean it tonight

Bridge

Maybe freedom's just a rhythm

Maybe it was always there

Underneath the doubt and distance

Waiting in the humid air

So let the bassline make the choice

Let it move you, find your voice

Nobody's leaving till the record spins out

Chorus

Sway like you mean it

Let your hips do the talking tonight

Sway like you mean it

Loose and easy, we're feeling alright

No clock on the wall

No reason at all

Just sway like you mean it tonight

Sway like you mean it tonight
