lyrics

--Lyrics--

I got my feet knocked off the ground
I got my head knocked off my feet
I tried to swallow all of the world
And now I’ve gotten in a little too deep

And now I’m falling towards the sky
I just don’t know how and why
But I got the weight of all the world
I better not let go of the rope

Oh, what am I supposed to do?
Am I supposed to let go of all of you?
Am I supposed to fall back to the sky?
Or keep on rising for a while?

I think I’m falling down
Right back to the very ground
I couldn’t hold it anymore
I think that’s what I was asking for

I think this might just hurt
Oh, I don’t see how could I change my hurt
I was carrying the weight of all the world
I think I’ll get what I deserve

I got my feet knocked off the ground
I got my head knocked of my feet
I tried to swallow all of the world
And I think I got in a little too deep

I think you know where I have to go
I think you know what I deserve
Here comes the weight of all the world
And it’s coming straight for me
