Love to be beside you, The way you smell
The way your lips feel, and your fingernails
The way your fingers crawl up my spine
The way you always make me last in line
[Chorus]
I carry the weight of the world as the past is unfurled
But I won't stop to wonder
Going through this life on my own made me cold as a stone
I'm a ship going under
And I'd tell you this but I don't know how
I'm caving in and I'm falling out and I can't resist
And I can't rebound with the weight of the world as the world falls down
It's the way you thrill me, then pull away
The way you seem to kill me a little more each day
And it's what you're thinking in your twisted mind
The way your body trembles when it's next to mine
[Chorus]
This pain I think about it everyday,
It tells me I'm never gonna get away
I know it's over,
but I can't escape memories and how to face another day
[Chorus]
The way your lips feel, and your fingernails
The way your fingers crawl up my spine
The way you always make me last in line
[Chorus]
I carry the weight of the world as the past is unfurled
But I won't stop to wonder
Going through this life on my own made me cold as a stone
I'm a ship going under
And I'd tell you this but I don't know how
I'm caving in and I'm falling out and I can't resist
And I can't rebound with the weight of the world as the world falls down
It's the way you thrill me, then pull away
The way you seem to kill me a little more each day
And it's what you're thinking in your twisted mind
The way your body trembles when it's next to mine
[Chorus]
This pain I think about it everyday,
It tells me I'm never gonna get away
I know it's over,
but I can't escape memories and how to face another day
[Chorus]

Love to be beside you, the way you smell
The way your lips feel and your fingernails.
The way your fingers crawl up my spine,
The way you always make me the last in line.
I carry the weight of the world as the past is unfurled, but I won't stop to
wonder.
Going through this life on my own made me as cold as a stone; I'm a ship going
under.
And I'd tell you this, but I don't know how.
I'm caving in and I'm falling out
And I can't resist and I can't rebound
with the weight of the world as the world falls down.
It's the way you thrill me, then pull away.
The way you seem to kill me a little more each day.
And it's what you're thinking in your twisted mind
The way your body trembles when it's next to mine.
I carry the weight of the world as the past is unfurled, but I won't stop to
wonder.
Going through this life on my own made me as cold as a stone; I'm a ship going
under.
And I'd tell you this, but I don't know how.
I'm caving in and I'm falling out
And I can't resist and I can't rebound
with the weight of the world as the world falls down.
And I'd tell you this, but I don't know how.
I'm caving in and I'm falling out
And I can't resist and I can't rebound
with the weight of the world as the world falls down.
(I feel the weight of the world as it's falling down)
(I feel the weight of the world as it's falling down)
(I feel the weight of the world as it's falling down)
(I feel the weight of the world as it's falling down)
This pain I think about it everyday,
it tells me I'm never gonna get away.
I know it's over, but I can't escape
memories and how to face another day.
As far as interpretation goes I think it's about being stuck in a loveless/one-sided relationship. I.e "the way you always make me the last in line" This girl (presumably) obviously doesn't think very much of him, maybe even detests him "trembling" or "pull[ing] away" when he tries to hug her (?).
Also, the mention of "going through this life on my own" suggests that he's doing most of the work in this relationship. But also, he seems to be developing the same feelings for her, with "twisted mind" and the fact she's "kill[ing] [him] a little more each day"
Basically this horrendous relationship is falling apart around him and he has no idea what to do about it.
But that's just my opinion, feel free to disagree :)
