about

‘Emotional Weight’ was a lot of fun to record, we added lots of extra harmonies to help carry the weight and emotion in the song. It’s a song about feeling a little lost within the push and pull of life.

lyrics

We’re moving forward against the wind
Pulling you back to a piece of yourself
My hands out the window but I can’t seem to find that piece to pull it back
Into my into my chest

And I feel further away from everything I know

I have an emotional weight in each hand
And it is pulling me apart
I feel the break in my ribs
And then it tugs at my heart

Lost in the motions can you locate where I need to be
My hands out the window and my body’s
In the last in the last town

And I feel further away from everything I know

I have an emotional weight in each hand
And it is pulling me apart
I feel the break in my ribs
And then it tugs at my heart

I have an emotional weight in each hand
And I’m moving the furniture around
Hoping it would shift hoping it would shift the energy
Or maybe shake this feeling

I have an emotional weight in each hand
And it is pulling me apart
I feel the break right in my ribs
And then it tugs at my heart
My heart

And I feel further away from everything I know
From everything I know
