Read the lyric sheet
Verse 1
Walked through the doors with my head down low Same old story, same old flock I know Mannequins staring like they already know Tried to shrink smaller in the bright white glow Tried a coat that felt like it could hold the cold Turned in the glass and the shoulders started to hold
Pre-chorus
I was in the wrong pond, maybe Macy’s mirror don’t lie You been a swan this whole time Just in the wrong story
Chorus
I was always a swan in the wrong story The pond was waiting in the glass for me Macy’s lights showed what the winter tried to hide I was always beautiful, just needed to see it right Swan season, swan season Finally breathing in the right light
Verse 2
Tried the bold one, the one that makes a scene Color on my skin like it was always meant to be The flock noise faded when I stood up straight The mirror didn’t lie, it just opened the gate Not becoming something new under the store light Just seeing the truth that was there all night
Pre-chorus
We are all swans, baby Macy’s mirror don’t lie We were swans this whole time And the story is just fine
Chorus
I was always a swan in the wrong story The pond was waiting in the glass for me Macy’s lights showed what the winter tried to hide I was always beautiful, just needed to see it right Swan season, swan season Finally breathing in the right light
Bridge
And for a second the whole store disappeared Just me and the glass and the quiet I feared Everything I thought I had to be Falling off like old feathers in the heat The ugly was the story, not the skin The swan was always there, waiting to begin
Verse 3
When they say the pond is too big for you Remember its not your job to care You don’t gotta become beautiful Cause you were already there
Pre-chorus
This is our pond, baby Macy’s mirror don’t lie We are all swans here And been this whole time
Chorus
I was always a swan in the wrong story Now the pond is mine and the story is free Macy’s mirror gave me back what the cold took away I was always beautiful, and now I get to stay Swan season, swan season Finally me in the right light
Outro
Swan season… Yeah…
