I once was a king of my own designs Now a pawn walking streets skipping cracks in the pavement lines Just a pale face lost in a rat race trying to pull a sad face Lost in a lonely crowd
Like a seat on a rush hour tube Making life hard, like a Rubix cube Each night when I sleep, when I dream I see me
Writing up a plan on a coffee shop wall Taking every hit like a punching ball Staring at a screen for a telephone call A wall worth climbing
Open up an envelope an invitation Any kind of cause for a celebration tonight The moon seems lost
So when the city starts to haunt you (haunt you) It's always darkest just before the dawn (the dawn) And if I'm gonna make a breakthrough (breakthrough) I've got to jump before my chance is gone (is gone)
Because the weight of your love Is breaking my fall, breaking my fall You know the weight of your love Is breaking my fall, breaking my fall Because the weight of your love Is breaking my fall, breaking my fall You know the weight of your love your love (your love)
Hop on the ride bureaucratic machines Want a name want a hand pledge allegiance to the queen These fat fiends full of caffeine When the sun shines I'll wear sunscreen, now these
Self-help books on the piccadilly line These nasty looks from the rumours on the grapevine Now it's nap time When I sleep, when I dream, I see me
Writing up a plan on a coffee shop wall Take the hit like a punching ball Proving to myself that I made the right call A wall worth climbing
Open up an envelope an invitation Any kind of cause for a celebration tonight The moon seems lost
So when the city starts to haunt you (haunt you) It's always darkest just before the dawn (the dawn) And if I'm gonna make a breakthrough (breakthrough) I've got to jump before my chance is gone (is gone)
Because the weight of your love Is breaking my fall, breaking my fall You know the weight of your love Is breaking my fall, breaking my fall Because the weight of your love Is breaking my fall, breaking my fall You know the weight of your love your love (your love)
Sunrise in the shadows playing hide and seek (playing hide and seek) So why fear the city when it's falling at your feet I'm climbing walls and kicking rumours in the balls And when it's time to make that call I'm not alone I'm not alone
Because the weight of your love Is breaking my fall, breaking my fall You know the weight of your love Is breaking my fall, breaking my fall Because the weight of your love Is breaking my fall, breaking my fall You know the weight of your love your love Is breaking my fall, breaking my fall
Because the weight of your love Is breaking my fall, breaking my fall You know the weight of your love Is breaking my fall, breaking my fall Because the weight of your love Is breaking my fall, breaking my fall You know the weight of your love your love
