I carry the weight of you in my heavy heart
And the wind is so icy, I am numb
I carry the weight of you heading back to start
With a thousand eyes on me
I stumbled on
I am tired i'm growing older
I'm getting weaker everyday, yeah
I carry the weight of you
I carry the weight of you
Lay down here beside me in the shallow water
Beside me where the sun is shining on us still
Lay down here beside me in the hollowed water
Beside where with the silver lightning stays until
The sirens' calling
We follow the sun down north and I think of night
And you hold me so tightly, it's hard to breath
And I'm tired i'm growing older
I'm getting weaker everyday, yeah
we follow the sun down low
we follow the sun down low
Lay down here beside me in the shallow water
Beside me where the sun is shining on us still
Lay down here beside me in the hollowed water
Beside me where the silver lightning stays until
The sirens' calling
The sirens' calling
Yeah I'm tired, I'm growing old
I'm getting weaker everyday, yeah
I am drowning, and you're stealing every breath
Take me away and just
Lay down here beside me in the shallow water
Beside here where the sun is shining on us still
Lay down here beside me in the hollowed water
Beside me where the silver lightning stays until
The sirens' calling
The sirens' calling
