Swept Away
Words & Music by Allie Lapointe
On the path to beautiful
I wandered from the truth
Found a stream of guarantees
I just could not refuse
Waded into the promise
That thin could set me free
Now I’m trapped and can’t swim back
I’m sinking deep
This current rages
These waters roar
Beneath the surface
I’m losing a silent war
I’m going under
I can’t escape
I fear I might be
swept away
Swept away
I don’t remember falling
And no one pushed me in
All I know is I’m in the place
I said I’d never be again
Secrets have me spinning round
I’m losing all control
I never knew it’d be so hard
To resist the flow
CHORUS
The cover girls, all skin and bones
Cheer me on from the shore
I didn’t know how far I’d go
To find what glitters isn’t gold
CHORUS
Lord, don’t let me be swept away
