Weightless
Luke and Charlotte Ritchie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i did all that i could
I’m running out of breath
and now it’s, understood
There’s nothing left for me to do
no matter how much i want, to be with you
your life goes on without me there
One last glance behind, me
before I lock the door
I know I can’t, rewind
hurts to wish anymore
Your life goes on without me there
my silent heartache, is mine alone to bear
I wanted so much more than this
what i imagined was never emptiness
So long heavy hopes
i’m weightless, and untethered
Untangled all the ropes
and there’s no need, to remember
I wanted so much more than this
what i imagined was never emptiness
I searched but I found nothing but air
I’m going back now, I belong nowhere
I’m weightless, I’m weightless, I’m weightless

Stone and concrete set
the parting scene
as he slips away from her view
At the glass she’ll pace
As the turbines start
In a curve he’ll pierce through the night
Sailing now,
Free from doubt
In her heart, she’s by his side
Sailing now
Road that takes you home
Clutching at the keys
Counting makeshift rosary beads
Oh, to catch the sight
of that I seek
Just the thought, it brings me to my knees.
Sailing now,
Free from doubt
In her heart, she’s by his side
Sailing now
Lost in her radio
She starts to feel weightless
Clear as light and ringing bells,
Hear her voice and hear it still
I’ll be yours and you’ll be mine so
Set your heart on better times

@@bluedayhippogrief7446 Taskmasters for me. I’d never fall for an actor since they’re mostly just so vain. But she is legit amazing.
