Weightless Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Cardamom and jade as your eyes streamed
On the night you showed your volcanic side
And I'm afraid to need validation
Waiting for the day when you finally try
[Pre-Chorus]
There are sandflies in the champagne
You're closed off, I'm so drained
But I sparkle in the rare case
That you tell me I'm your sunray
I'm starved of your affection
You're crushed under the pressure
But you won't change
No, you won't change
[Chorus]
I don't wanna wait for you
I don't wanna wait for you
I don't wanna wait for you
But I need you, so I won't go
I don't wanna wait for you
I don't wanna wait for you
I don't wanna wait for you
But I need you, so I won't go
[Verse 2]
Tethered to the person you could be
Re-reading our texts from the strawberry days
Just give me a sign if you want me
Just give me a sign if you wanna stay
[Pre-Chorus]
There's blue glass in the soft rain
You're passive, I'm in pain
But I sparkle in the rare case
That you tell me I'm your sunray
I'm starved of your affection
You're crushed under the pressure
But you won't change
No, you won't change
[Chorus]
I don't wanna wait for you
I don't wanna wait for you
I don't wanna wait for you
But I need you, so I won't go
I don't wanna wait for you
I don't wanna wait for you
I don't wanna wait for you
But I need you, so I won't go
[Bridge]
And I usually know my strength
But here I am at ninety degrees bent
A metallic taste at the back of my throat
Watch your deltoid flex as you cough on the phone
And I've lost my grit and I'm in my head
You're so withdrawn and I'm standing there
Keeping wool over my eyes
Keeping wool over my eyes
[Chorus]
I don't wanna wait for you
I don't wanna wait for you
I don't wanna wait for you
But I need you, so I won't go
I don't wanna wait for you
I don't wanna wait for you
I don't wanna wait for you
But I need you, so I won't go
I don't wanna wait for you
I don't wanna wait for you
I don't wanna wait for you
But I need you, so I won't go
I don't wanna wait for you
I don't wanna wait for you
I don't wanna wait for you
But I need you, so I won't go

What has the artist said about the track?
“Weightless” surrounds the painful experience of caring deeply about someone who only gives you tiny breadcrumbs of affection. It’s about suddenly realising that a person has dulled your edges and embarking on the slow journey back to being a brighter version of yourself.
What did Arlo Parks say about "Weightless"?
Making ‘Weightless’ was a defining moment in the album process. I felt completely unchained from Collapsed in Sunbeams. Anything was possible, Paul [Epworth] and I were just chaos-dancing around the room and giggling. This one is very special to me and gave me so much creative confidence.
