Editors The Weight song lyrics

For a moment

I felt the strength of your love

It was lightning, it was lightning

Strike down on me

I'm a lump of meat

With a heartbeat

Electricity restarts me

Strike down on me, on me

Everyday I pray

I'm the first to go

Without you I would be lost

I promised myself

I wouldn't talk about death

I know I'm getting boring

I'm a man

Holding the weight of your love

But without it my strength just isn't enough

So strike down on me, on me

Everyday I pray

I'm the first to go

Without you I would be lost

And I promised myself

I wouldn't sing about death

I know I'm getting boring

For a moment

I felt the weight of your love

It was lightning, it was lightning

Strike down on me
