The Weight

(Album: Diggers - 2013)

Are you feeling upside down
Or even empty inside?
I have a couple different faces
If you need a place to hide
All the parties we can throw
We'll dress like anything we please
Or play the role of anyone
Stopped by for a drink and didn't leave

Since home is where the jar is
Open up to me
Your heart will always have a place to live
With nothing left to be

I am the weight this town is never going to lose
It's been a while since I've held anything as close I have you
They'll write about our story here for years to come
Maybe even more
'Cause there's never been a love like this before
(Never been a love)
There's never been a love like this before
(Never been a love)

On rainy days we'll drink until
The gray is left in nothing but our hair
These wrinkles are the maps of all
The places we went no one else would dare

When your tongue is putrid
And your skin is sagging down
I'll stick around
'Cause it's what's inside that counts

I am the weight this town is never going to lose
It's been a while since I've held anything as close I have you
They'll write about our story here for years to come
Maybe even more
'Cause there's never been a love like this before

And I lost you to the fire and I would've just as well
Our friends we had as quiet as skeletons on shelves
There's nothing left to lose, 'cause I'd already lost it all
But I was wrong
Because our story carries on

I am the weight this town is never going to lose
It's been a while since I've held anything as close I have you
They'll write about our stories here for years to come
Maybe even more
'Cause there's never been a love like this before
(Never been a love)
There's never been a love like this before
(Never been a love)
There's never been a love like this before
(Never been a love)
There's never been a love like this before
(Never been a love)
