You have an albatross around your neck
It won't get off, it won't forget
I try to make friends with it, I give it all I got
It swallows, it just swallows

I watch you dragging it around still standing
You keep it all within, won't let me in
With heavy lungs you try to solve it by yourself
You won't ask for help

I remember when you told me everything
Now I'm searching for your eyes while they spin
I remember when you told me everything
Now I'm reaching for your hand, mine's shakin'
Now I'm reaching for your hand, won't you take it?

I wanna hold you, not too hard, just forever
Intertwined we're light, light as a feather
I wanna hold you, not too hard, just gently
Feel your heartbeat softly against me

I watch your sad eyes in the morning
No road to travel on, nothing feels like home
You put your head down to my shoulder
Whisper you wish this to be over

You have an albatross around your neck
Let down, betrayed, stripped down
I'll hold you when you shake, while you're shaking it off
While you feel lost

I remember when you told me everything
Now I'm searching for your eyes while they spin
I remember when you told me everything
Now I'm reaching for your hand, won't you take it?

I wanna hold you, not too hard, just forever
Intertwined we're light, light as a feather
I wanna hold you, not too hard, just gently
Feel your heartbeat softly against me
