Weights

Chorus

Wait for the weight to lift away

Chase the gold within the grey

It hurts to hold

It hurts to stay

Still I wait for a better day

Wait for the light to hit the floor

Then I go and ask for more

Even when I'm tired and sore

Verse 1

Paper skin

Tears are wearing thin

Every time I think I win

The salt is stinging my chin

Lying on a bed of nails

Waiting for the wind in sails

Pre-Chorus

But I can feel it coming close

Like a fever

Like a ghost

Feeding on the things I love the most

Chorus

Wait for the weight to lift away

Chase the gold within the grey

It hurts to hold

It hurts to stay

Still I wait for a better day

Wait for the light to hit the floor

Then I go and ask for more

Even when I'm tired and sore

Verse 2

Blue morning

Without any warning

High stakes and some yawning

A new habit is forming

Broken glass inside the shoe

Walking back again to you

Pre-Chorus

But I can feel it coming close

Like a fever

Like a ghost

Feeding on the things I love the most

Chorus

Wait for the weight to lift away

Chase the gold within the grey

It hurts to hold

It hurts to stay

Still I wait for a better day

Wait for the light to hit the floor

Then I go and ask for more

Even when I'm tired and sore

Bridge

Maybe it is poison in the cup

Sweet enough to keep me looking up

Maybe I am crazy

Maybe I am lazy

For thinking that it's worth the price I pay

Every single day

Chorus

Wait for the weight to lift away

Chase the gold within the grey

It hurts to hold

It hurts to stay

Still I wait for a better day

Wait for the light to hit the floor

Then I go and ask for more

Even when I'm tired and sore
