The Weight Lyrics
[Verse 1]
For a moment, I felt the strength of your love
It was lightning, it was lightning
Strike down on me
[Verse 2]
I'm a lump of meat with a heartbeat
Electricity restarts me
Strike down on me, on me
[Chorus]
Every day I pray, I'm the first to go
Without you, I would be lost
I promised myself I wouldn't talk about death
I know I'm gettin' boring
[Verse 3]
I'm a man holdin' the weight of your love
But without it, my strength just isn't enough
So, strike down on me, on me
[Chorus]
Every day I pray, I'm the first to go
Without you, I would be lost
And I promised myself I wouldn't sing about death
I know I'm gettin' boring now
[Post-Chorus]
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
[Outro]
For a moment, I felt the weight of your love
It was lightning, it was lightning
Strike down on me

Half the record we’ve had for a long time, it’s been a long time in gestation, t...
