Folly (Lyrics)

There's a sweetness in the danger

Something fleeting, sharp, divine,

Like a language I don't speak yet

But I know each broken line,

How a stranger becomes prophecy

How a moment steals its time.


Sway, sway

In the pull of you

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

In the pull of you

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


And I sway in the pull of you

In the heat I shouldn't trust,

Reason tells me turn away

But my body's made of lust,

All these lines I swore to follow

Blur like shadows in the dust.

Oh, oh, oh, oh


Sway, sway

Sway


Sway in the pull of you (Yeah)

Heat I shouldn't trust (Yeah)

Reason says turn away (Turn away)

But desire's made of lust

Sway, sway

In the pull of you


I'm not made for this temptation

You move me like the moon.

All my careful little boundaries

Come undone inside your room.


And I sway in the pull of you,

In the heat I shouldn't trust (Yeah)

Reason tells me turn away,

But my body's made of lust

Sweet folly brings my joy,

And burns us both to dust

And I sway in the pull of you (I sway),

In the heat I shouldn't trust (Yeah)

Reason tells me turn away (Stay),

But my body's made of lust.


Sweet folly brings my joy,

And burns us both to dust.

Sweet folly brings my joy,

And burns us both to dust.
