lyrics

I’m hungry for the power I can turn it on like a switch, turn away like this
And rolling for the water, cannot drink another pitcher
And waiting for the winter, so I don’t burn out
I’m not only yours she begins to shout, hey!

For the weight of the world, I give it up for I shed my weight in the water

Pull the blind beyond the darkness, that’s where you face yourself, base yourself
Strip away catharsis bend bray be the clay
In your vase the flower faints, but it will give you one more day
Get up before the wave takes, well we all want something safe

For the weight of the world, I give it up for I shed my weight in the water

Can we stay here, defend me and I will stay with
Defend you on the way, help you lift the weight, make it

For the weight of the world, I give it up for I shed my weight in the water

I’m thirsty for the water ooh-woo-hoo
And I'm thirsty for the liquor as it steals away my throat
And I’m waiting for the summer, no don’t you walk away
Ever elusive lover; but love is here to stay

But can we stay here, suspend me; I want to play here
Take me over right here right now brother, not now no we won't go under, can we stay here? Alright

For the weight of the world, I give it up for I shed my weight in the water oh

Giving it up, giving it up, giving it up
Giving it up, giving it up, giving it up, oh
Giving it up, giving it up, giving it up

For the weight of the world, I give it up for I shed my weight in the water
