Heavy in Your Arms by Florence and the Machine

I was a heavy heart to carry

my beloved was weighed down

my arms around his neck

my fingers laced to crown

I was a heavy heart to carry

my feet dragged across the ground

and he took me to the river

where he slowly let me drown

My love has concrete feet

my love's an iron ball

wrapped around your ankles

over the waterfall

I'm so heavy, heavy

heavy in your arms

I'm so heavy, heavy

heavy in your arms

And is it worth the wait,

all this killing time?

Are you strong enough to stand

protecting both your heart and mine?

Who is the betrayer?

Who's the killer in the crowd?

The one who creeps in corridors

and doesn't make a sound

My love has concrete feet

my love's an iron ball

wrapped around your ankles

over the waterfall

I'm so heavy, heavy

heavy in your arms

I'm so heavy, heavy

heavy in your arms

This will be my last confession

I love you never felt like any blessing

Whispering like it's a secret

only to condemn the one who hears it

with a heavy heart

(Ohhhhhh)

Heavy heavy I'm so heavy in your arms
(I'm so) Heavy heavy I'm so heavy in your arms
(I'm so) Heavy heavy I'm so heavy in your arms
(I'm so) Heavy heavy I'm so heavy in your arms

I was a heavy heart to carry
my beloved was weighed down
My arms around his neck
My fingers laced to crown

I was a heavy heart to carry
But he never let me down
When he had me in his arms
My feet never touched the ground

I'm so heavy, heavy in your arms.

Heavy, i'm so heavy in your arms.

This song...this woman...all of her songs completely hypnotize me and give me chills. Something about the rhythm and the soulful quality of her voice are unlike anything I've listened to before. This is the kind of music I turn up all the way so I can get utterly lost in the sound and feel like I'm feeling it all the way down to my bones. She eloquently describes things inside myself that I have difficulty putting into words, and even when I'm not sure that I've felt what she's feeling, somehow I do, because her songs are that powerful.
