Under the Weight off the album Up for Air by Tree Machines
lyrics
I was there
To watch it all get swept beneath the waves
Watch it all get swept beneath the waves.
When I looked at you
All you did was turn and walk away.
All you did was turn and walk away.
Cause...
It was all so fast.
The water came and tore up all the trees.
It broke all of the roots and left the leaves.
It left a path
To bring the things back out to Sea.
It wiped away the earth and left it clean.
And there was nothing we could do
But watch the world circle down the drain.
No, there was nothing we could do
But hold our breaths before we sank
Under the weight.
Under the weight of it all.
So grab hold and don’t let go.
Grab hold and don’t let go.
We were there
To watch it all get swept beneath the waves.
Watch it all get swept beneath the waves.
And there was nothing we could do
But watch the world circle down the drain.
No, there was nothing we could do
But hold our breaths before we sank.
Under the weight
Under the weight of it all
