It’s time to go I said in the throes of a party you threw for your friends
With eyes half closed I put on my coat and I wandered out in the wind
Oh what a heavy heart I’m holding
The empty streets make my sneakered feet echo and repeat like a bell
‘neath streetlamps shadows I let my mind rove through darkness I know too well
Oh what a heavy heart I’m holding
It’s like a stone in my pocket it drags me under the raging waves
I finally know though I don’t like it I’m the only thing standing in my way
You say I’m alright you blame the late nights you think you might understand
But dear you don’t see the thin line between swimming and sinking you can’t
Know what a heavy heart I’m holding
It’s like a stone in my pocket it drags me under the raging waves
I finally know though I don’t like it I’m the only thing standing in my way
And I can’t move, I can’t breathe, I can’t seem to do anything but flounder
Too much time and space to think has me struggling to keep from going under
It’s like a stone in my pocket it drags me under the raging waves
I finally know though I don’t like it I’m the only thing standing in my way
