Weightless Lyrics
Washed Out
Lyrics
Close your eyes
You're weightless now
Floating safely off the ground
Far above
Keep rising up
You're racing towards the stars
You've waited all your life
To leave it all behind
Rise up
Forget abour your suffering
Float up
Forget about the pain
Leave it all and start again
Don't you cry
You've made it out
You're safe from all alarm
And all the traps
That held you back
Are far below you know
You've waited all your life
To leave it all behind
Rise up
Forget about your suffering
Float up
Forget about the pain
Leave it all and start again
