Are those footsteps that I hear coming?
Is this evening still up to something?
I can't see much from the floor

I just want to feel like I once did before

I'm hearing words come out of people many I don't know

I'm in a lighthouse overseeing all who walk below
But there's one thing that still lingers here in my head


I am bound by WaterWeight
And I've been told that's OK


Even monsters leave a light on
And dream of others that they can count on
I've learned numbers that don't exist

Because I'm counting the minutes that you are missed

I'm sitting restless watching the white that winter presents

Ignoring all the jokes it's making all at my expense
Now I lay here on my bed with no one else nearby
Just be sure to say your name before you wave goodbye


I am bound by WaterWeight
And I've been told that that's OK


It's too bright to not see you the moment you walk by (oh)
It's too bright to not observe when you walk by

When you walk by, because

I am bound by WaterWeight

Cause I've been told that that's OK
If you can capture the heart of man
Then darling catch me if you can
