From the recording Swayed by Your Charm
This Electronic & Pop song explores the seductive power of charm and the vulnerability of being drawn toward someone even when the warning signs are clear.
The lyrics reflect on a recurring pattern of mistaking intensity for connection, choosing excitement over stability, and allowing charm to silence the wiser voice within.
Ultimately, this heartfelt anthem becomes a reminder to slow down, trust what we see, and recognize that love should not leave us constantly questioning where we stand. Sometimes the bravest choice is to step away from the charm and make room for something real, peaceful, and sure.
Lyrics
I should have learned by now (mmm)
But I still lean when you lean close (ah-ah-ah)
You walk in with a silver tongue and steady hands
Measured tone, a careful plan
Every promise dressed in velvet sound
You sketch a future on fragile ground
I see the fault lines, I trace the seams
Still I bargain with my better dreams
Your laughter bends my common sense
Soft persuasion, sweet suspense (oh)
I tell myself, "Don't fall so fast"
But I've rehearsed this scene in the past
Every red flag painted gold
Every warning bought and sold (ah-ah)
My pulse begins to override
The wiser voice I push aside
I get swayed by your charm
Like a tide that pulls my feet from the shore
I get swayed by your charm (oh)
Though I've been here before
You say my name and I disarm
Lay my doubts down at your door
I get swayed by your charm (ah)
And I can't tell wrong from sure
(Swayed swayed swayed swayed)
By-by-by the way you move your words
(Swayed swayed swayed swayed)
E-e-e-e-every time it hurts
There was a man who held the truth
Spoke it plain, offered proof
Steady eyes and patient grace
No disguise upon his face
I felt the calm, I felt the right
But calm don't spark the same delight
So I mistook the spark for fate
And let the steady one walk away (oh no)
Now I know the pattern's mine
Charm can blur the warning signs
Sweetest words can twist the scale
Turn a promise pale and frail
If it dazzles, I lean in
And call that rush a deeper thing
I get swayed by your charm
Like a moth to a dangerous flare
I get swayed by your charm (oh)
Though I know what waits there
You draw a circle with your arm (eh eh)
And I'm captured in your stare
I get swayed by your charm (ah)
Like I've never learned to care
Don't get swayed by his charm
If it trembles when you ask for more (oh-oh)
Don't get swayed by his charm (no-no)
If his love feels like a war (oh-oh)
Let your heart be slow and warm
Let it settle, let it soar
Don't get swayed by his charm (ahh-ah)
You deserve something sure
(Swayed swayed swayed swayed) no more
(Swayed swayed swayed swayed) I'm learning
(Swayed swayed swayed) not anymore (ah-ah-ahhh)
