Feels like the weight of the world Like God in heaven gave me a turn Don't cling to me, I swear I can't fix you Still in the dark, can you fix me? Freefall, freefall, all through life If you love me, then let go of me I won't be held down by who I used to be She's nothing to me Feels like the weight of the world Like all my screaming has gone unheard And oh, I know you don't believe in me Safe in the dark, how can you see? Freefall, freefall, all through life If you love me, then let go of me I won't be held down by who I used to be If you love me, then let go of me I won't be held down by who I was If you love me, then let go of me I won't be held down by who I used to be

Maybe your daddy never held you like he should Maybe your mama just held on the best she could Ev'ry soul has a secret Give it away or keep it But yesterday's gone so tell me why You carry the weight, the weight of the world It's breakin' you down on your back like a boulder Before it's too late, get rid of it, girl Get it off of your shoulder I know you've been used But you gotta lose the weight of the world Maybe i haven't always been there just for you Maybe i try but then i got my own life too Ev'ry heart has a hunger I'm not getting any younger I got all the crosses i can bear Don't gimme the weight, the weight of the world It's breakin' me down on my back like a boulder Before it's too late, get rid of it, girl Get it off of my shoulder You know i've been used And i gotta lose the weight of the world It all comes down to who you crucify You either kiss the future or the past goodbye We could fly so high But we carry the weight, the weight of the world It's breakin' us down on our backs like a boulder Before it's too late, get rid of it, girl Get it off of our shoulders We've all been used And we gotta lose the weight of the world It's takin' us down and the night's growin' colder Just blame it on fate, that was yesterday, girl And we're just growin' older We've all been abused Now it's time to lose the weight of the world The weight of the world The weight of the world

Everyday's a childhood Everyday's a wild wood Always learning, always yearning Everyday's a childhood Sun in my eyes, spring in my nose You asked what I remember most Songs she sung by my cradle side Father taught me to be kind Before I learned the world was hard Beneath the plum tree in the yard Thinking, first life blossoms and then it fruits Thought, "Even earth tastes pretty good" Whoever makes the summer bloom When I grow up, I wanna be like you I thought, "I love all the things you do "So when I grow up, I wanna be like you" But you told me of the cuckoo bird Who takes the song birds from their nests And steals their tune before it's heard Now I know that sums up life the best 'Cause everyday's a childhood Oh, everyday's a wild wood Always learning, always yearning Everyday's a childhood Trouble turns up at your door Posts you heartbreak letters The next thing you know, you've realised You've never been much better But I remember what I loved I remember where I'm from And I'll keep singing beauty's song That is where my heart belongs 'Cause everyday's a childhood Everyday's a wild wood Always learning, always yearning Everyday's a childhood When everything was all brand new That innocence of childhood Oh, the gentle spell that loved me well Before the cuckoo rang the bell Well, if love's the sun and truth's the rain Then mercy seasons growing pains Well, things can leave an ugly stain But every day, I'm young again 'Cause everyday's a childhood Oh, everyday's a wild wood Always learning, always yearning Oh, everyday's a childhood Yeah, everyday's a childhood Oh, everyday's a wild wood Always learning, always yearning Oh, everyday's a childhood

Adventures in her dressing gown, smoke rings in the car Once upon a time she had a dream called Arcadia Well, today's the same old story Someone's trying to win the world Really not that different from a kid Trying to get the girl There's a postcard on the mantelpiece, it takes a noble bow With a letter on the back doesn't really matter now She comes in from a late shift, and tumbles into bed And just rifles through her phone for the things he never said Will somebody take her where the roses bloom? She's only ever heard of hearing "I love you" Whatever happened to Arcadia (What happened to Arcadia?) (What happened to Arcadia?) Whatever happened to Arcadia

Don't let them paint you gray They're gonna see you're somebody, somewhere, someday Don't ever let them take your playful heart away Oh you're somebody nobody could replicate Yeah I already know there's only one of you That the world is gonna see, another side of you Though the tide's been rising, since I'm proud of you Oh I know that we're gonna see laughing like you used to do Yeah from now, now, now From now, I'm gonna find a new song It goes "I knew you as a cub and now you've grown into a lion" When I go back to the start You're lost in better rhythm, in the beat of your heart You were like a queen of diamonds and your tower of cards So easily blown over when the going got hard But the best thing about this love You don't old smoke beyond this even newer fire We sang "I knew you as a cub and now you've grown into a lion" Oh from now, now, now From now, I'm gonna find a new song It goes "I knew you as a cub and now you've grown into a lion" Oh they can laugh if they like Because this time you know you're right You can feel the wisdom growing inside Oh they can laugh if they like Because this time you know you're right You can feel the wisdom growing inside Oh they can laugh if they like Because this time you know you're right You can feel the wisdom growing inside Oh they can laugh if they like Because this time you know you're right You can feel the wisdom growing inside

You're homeward bound for wisdom, because you've seen the webs you've spun, You're versed in vice and virtue but this time your vice has won, But when hopelessness would tell you that your better days are done, Have no fear you'll overcome. There are times where you might feel that there is nothing left to hold, That every time you lift your chin your faults have laid you low, But mercy's in the mightiest and mighty is the judge, He will lift you up above. And you'll cry. 'Now I am a heart with a head on my shoulders and I can say that I'm a different child!'
