“Heavy In Your Arms” is a moody gothic love song written for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse soundtrack.
Compared to the existing material at the time off Lungs (2009), “Heavy In Your Arms” was very different—embracing darker lyrics with soulful vocals and orchestral instrumentation.
The song was later...
[Verse 1]
I was a heavy heart to carry
My beloved was weighed down
My arms around his neck
My fingers laced to crown
I was a heavy heart to carry
My feet dragged across the ground
And he took me to the river
Where he slowly let me drown
[Pre-Chorus]
My love has concrete feet
My love's an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles
Over the waterfall
[Chorus]
I'm so heavy
Heavy, heavy in your arms
I'm so heavy
Heavy, heavy in your arms
[Verse 2]
And is it worth the wait?
All this killing time?
Are you strong enough to stand
Protecting both your heart and mine?
Who is the betrayer?
Who's the killer in the crowd?
The one who creeps in corridors
And doesn't make a sound
[Pre-Chorus]
My love has concrete feet
My love's an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles
Over the waterfall
My love has concrete feet
My love's an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles
Over the waterfall
[Chorus]
I'm so heavy
Heavy, heavy in your arms
I'm so heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy
Heavy, so heavy in your arms
[Bridge]
This will be my last confession
"I love you" never felt like any blessing
Oh
Whispering like it's a secret
Uttered to condemn the one who hears it
With a heavy heart
Whoa
[Chorus]
(Heavy) Heavy, heavy
(Heavy) I'm so heavy in your arms
(I'm so heavy) Heavy, heavy
(Heavy) I'm so heavy in your arms
(I'm so heavy) Heavy, heavy
(Heavy) I'm so heavy in your arms
(I'm so heavy) Heavy, heavy
(Heavy) I'm so heavy in your arms
[Post-Chorus]
I was a heavy heart to carry
My beloved was weighed down
My arms around his neck
My fingers laced to crown
I was a heavy heart to carry
But he never let me down
When he had me in his arms
My feet never touched the ground
[Outro]
I'm so heavy
Heavy in your arms
Heavy
I'm so heavy in your arms
Heavy In Your Arms was written by Florence Welch & Paul Epworth.
Heavy In Your Arms was produced by Paul Epworth.
Florence + the Machine released Heavy In Your Arms on Fri Jun 04 2010.
In the original song announcement, Florence described the song:
‘Heavy In Your Arms’ I suppose is about the weight of love, and how sometimes it can be a burden between two people. I felt this was a strong theme in the Twilight series—is someone being rescued or are they being condemned, and is the...
