  • Your engine threatens, I can hear it from the garden
    I can see it coming, I can see it come from miles
    What you're thinking right now, 'cause I think that I can guess
    If we set off now, we'll have the highway to ourselves

    And you love the little signs of life,
    You love it when we lose our minds
    You love these little wars of words,
    You love it when they call your name, your name

    A new empire beckons, a new kingdom in the distance
    No gods are present, just the sky, the earth, and us
    No wings, no halos, nor the thunder in the footsteps
    Cause fear and anger they are a law unto themselves

    And you love the little signs of life,
    You love it when we lose our minds
    You love these little wars of words,
    You love it when they call your name

    It's the weight of love in your arms
    It's the weight of love in your arms
    It's the weight of love so gentle in your arms

    It's the weight of love in your arms
    It's the weight of love in your arms
    It's the weight of love so gentle in your arms

    It's just like you told me, that I should learn to let it all go
    It just took 'til now, for me to get just what you meant
    My heart is thumping, I can feel it in my fingers
    No fear, no anger we are a law unto ourselves

    It's the weight of love in your arms
    It's the weight of love in your arms
    It's the weight of love so gentle in your arms

    It's the weight of love in your arms
    It's the weight of love in your arms
    It's the weight of love so gentle in your arms

    It's the weight of love in your arms
    It's the weight of love in your arms
    It's the weight of love so gentle in your arms Writer/s: GARRET JACKNIFE LEE, GARY LIGHTBODY, JONATHAN GRAHAM QUINN, NATHAN CONNOLLY, PAUL WILSON, TOM SIMPSON
