"Dead Weight" lyrics

"Dead Weight"

The same feeling breathing in my bed
A cigarette mixed with cinnamon red
And I know, yeah, I know
That shiver moving up my spine
Our favorite record spinning on rewind
Here we go, nice and slow

I'll keep dancing to the same tune
If I'm dancing with the ghost of you

So I'll keep carrying your dead weight
Every kiss and every heartbreak
Every touch that made the earth shake
No matter how I try
You're always on my mind
All the times we let our lips touch
Our scars open and our eyes shut
I miss that feeling so much
But every day's the same
You never fade away
So I'll keep carrying the dead weight

Your shadow hanging off the walls
A piece of art drenched in alcohol
Every night, to the neon lights
I'd keep drinking til I lose my mind
To feel your body just one more time
Just one more time

So I'll keep carrying your dead weight
Every kiss and every heartbreak
Every touch that made the earth shake
No matter how I try
You're always on my mind
All the times we let our lips touch
Our scars open and our eyes shut
I miss that feeling so much
But every day's the same
You never fade away
So I'll keep carrying the dead weight
Carrying the dead weight

Break my back
Twist and crack
Fall to the ground
Like a photograph
Walk through fire
Just to see your face
You're always on my mind

So I'll keep carrying your dead weight
Every kiss and every heartbreak
Every touch that made the earth shake
No matter how I try
You're always on my mind
All the times we let our lips touch
Our scars open and our eyes shut
I miss that feeling so much
But every day's the same
You never fade away
So I'll keep carrying the dead weight
Carrying the dead weight
Carrying the dead weight
