"The Weight" lyrics

"The Weight"

And I wake up early to watch you as you wake
And open your eyes to the sound of the rain

And I wake up early to watch you as you wake
And open your eyes to the sound of the rain

And I wake up early, watch you as you wake
And open your eyes to the sound of the rain

And I wake up early, watch you as you wake
And open your eyes to the sound of the rain

Cuz I don't want money and I don't want God
I just want to live under the weight of your love
And I'd rather go bad and let my body go numb
Than to lose you or the weight of your love

Flick hair from your shoulder and sleep marks your face
Retreat to the covers from the sound of the rain

Flick hair from your shoulder and sleep marks your face
Retreat to the covers from the sound of the rain

Cuz I don't want money and I don't want God
I just want to live under the weight of your love
And I'd rather go bad, let my body go numb
Than to lose you or the weight of your love

Than to lose you or the weight of your love

"I wrote this song at home, after an argument," explains frontman Joe Keogh. "It was about a stupid disagreement over something tiny that felt important. I probably started it. She left for work and any anger left with her when I was left in the house alone. There's a moment after any fight when the heat has passed that you realise how you actually feel. And this song was how I actually felt."
