Lyrics: Weight of the World (2019)

[rocknroll1968]

Weight of the World
Giants in the Trees

Can you feel it?

Everybody's got their own style
Everybody walks their own mile
Everybody's got their own scene
Come on baby, yeah, let's live off of dreams

And then it comes, yeah!
It's the weight of the world
Oh, you could be drinking up, drinking up
Oh, it always comes in a disguise
Oh, say to lift you up

Here's the van [He's the man]
I load it up
Come to grind
Yeah, burn it up [off]
Don't let go
I lose control
You're the one
Who can make it when it comes, yeah!

It's the weight of the world
I could be drinking life, drinking life
It always comes in a disguise
Oh, say to lift you up

And I know that you're the key
I see you in my dreams
I love the way you are ('cause we're going far)
I see the work of art [world go by]

'Cause everybody's got their only life
Rise in our own time
That's life in the sunshine
It's always the right time

Everybody's got their own fire
Come on baby, take me higher and higher!
When it gets to you
Will you see it through
I don't know, I don't know
If your low is so flow[?]

Let it come, yeah!
It's the weight of the world
Oh I could be drinking life, drinking life[?]
Oh, it always comes in a disguise, yeah
Oh, say to lift you up

Like a flash
I hit the gas
Roll it up
I knew you'd come
I only told ya
Thought I warned ya
Yeah, you're the only one
Who can make it when it comes, yeah!

It's the weight of the world
Oh, you could be drinking life, drinking life[?]
Oh, it always comes in a disguise
Oh, say to lift you up

And I know that you're the key
I see you in my dreams
I love the way you are ('cause we're going far)
I see the work of art

Everybody's got their only life
Rise in your own time
That's life in the sunshine
So, we both can't live some season
Watch for the fireflies
Now it's a sure sign
It's always the right time

Archivist's notes: I isolated the vocal and compared with another fan's transcription. Corrections welcome, especially on the parts in brackets.

I absolutely love the double meaning in the "come to grind/burn it up" line. Weed, sex, or both? Probably both. Krist, king of puns. X)
