Lyrics

Gimme The Weight

Tried every party, but they only made me crazy
I loved a thousand girls, it only made things worse
Tried every drug until they didn't elevate me
Drank every bottle, but they couldn't quench my thirst

'Til you came
Gravity changed

(Gimme the weight) when it gets heavy
(Gimme the weight) it's you I'll carry
When it's hardcore
I only want you more (gimme the weight)
'Cause I'd give it away just to carry the weight with you (ooh)
Weight with you (ooh)

White lines and late nights only lead to paranoia
Sent me to rehab, I got high and ran away
I saw the world, but only hotel bars and bathrooms
I had it all, and then I lit it with butane

And then you came
I'm not the same

(Gimme the weight) when it gets heavy
(Gimme the weight) it's you I'll carry
When it's hardcore
I only want you more (gimme the weight)
'Cause I'd give it away just to carry the weight with you (ooh)
Weight with you (ooh)

(Gimme the weight) when it gets heavy
(Gimme the weight) it's you I'll carry
When it's hardcore
I only want you more (gimme the weight)
'Cause I'd give it away just to carry the weight with you (ooh)
Weight with you (ooh)

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Yeah

Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
