Lyrics:
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

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
