“Heavy” is a conversation with my old ways and younger days. Alluring, exciting, and comfortable - an old friend who is always down for another round. “Heavy” is acceptance and fondness of who you’ve been while embracing who you’re becoming — surrendering to nonlinear progress and growth.
“Heavy” is part of my story and if it feels like part of yours too, then I hope you feel less alone and a little more strong by listening.
lyrics
Hello friend, you’ve come again just when I’m opening up
you’ve come around back to my town to remind me what I forgot
And I know, I know I told you to go, but maybe that was talk
I’ve been playing the role of a girl in control, but we both know I’m not
When I’m moving forward
My past in my past
You, my friend, always bring me back
You take my hand and though I know it’s not right
I let you take the lead and I let you lean heavy on me
Heavy on me
Hello friend, do you remember when we were bold and young?
We’d spin around and spiral down and blur all signs of love
And I know I know I said i won’t let go, but maybe that was wrong
cause for some time now, without you around, I’ve been feeling a lot more strong
When I’m moving forward
My past in my past
You, my friend, always bring me back
You take my hand and though I know it’s not right
I let you take the lead and I let you lean heavy
heavy, heavy, heavy on me
Oh, hello friend
When I’m moving forward
My past in my past
You, my friend, always bring me back
You take my hand and though I know it’s not right
I let you take the lead and I let you lean heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy
Heavy on me
