Heavy
Netbuse Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was almost gone when you saved me
From the darkness
Always on the run feet were fading
But regardless
You were there
Taking all I sent your way
And it was heavy oh so heavy
You were there

Taking all the pain from me
And it was heavy
Now I’m saying
Let me be the one to drive you home
And in the morning I’ll promise that I’ll never do you wrong
No never again no
No never again
And in the morning I’ll
No never again no
No never again
Oh the night was cold
When you came in
Now it’s warming
I can’t begin to repay it
But i’m trying
Cause You were there
Taking all I sent your way
And it was heavy oh so heavy
You were there
Taking all the pain from me
And it was heavy
Now I’m saying
Let me be the one to drive you home
And in the morning I’ll promise that I’ll never do you wrong
No never again no
No never again
And in the morning I’ll
No never again no
No never again
Let me be the one to drive you home
And in the morning I’ll promise that I’ll never do you wrong
No never again no
No never again
And in the morning I’ll
No never again no
No never again

Let me be the one who drives you home
Let me be the one who drives you home
