Body Weight

I could end it all
Just a shift of body weight
Sun rising as I fall
From the top of the Golden Gate
But she won't let me go

Take my final bow
Slight turn on the steering wheel
But I was brought back 'round
Remembered how I'd make her feel
She won't let me go no she won't let me go

All I've ever known
Comes down to being held

Such a simple move
Makes up for letting go

Accidents occur
Who will mend the hole they leave?
Painfully aware
A thread from catastrophe
But she won't let me go

Sharpening their knives
While I tie my shoelaces
Big bad world outside
Hold on to your condolences
But she won't let me go no she won't let me go

All I've ever known
Comes down to being held

Such a simple move
Makes up for letting go

And in the blink of an eye
None of this matters
A flick of the tail
We're washed upon the shore alone
We're crying out for consent
Our blood for approval
How many of us know a life that's built upon much less

I'll hold on to you I-I-I'll hold on to you
I-I-I'll hold on to you

There will come a day
Let's see what tomorrow brings
When she will let me go
