lyrics

I wanna know you like nobody knows you
i wanna know your secrets and your signs
i wanna show you thinkgs that nobody shows u 
like what to do when you turn out the lights

i wanna light the candle i've been saving 
so i can see your clothes heaped on the floor 
and then one day you get a kiss on the forehead
to let you know that i'm not mad anymore 

I'LL WEIGH THE LOAD ON YOUR BACK 
TELL THE WORLD YOU'RE STRONGER THAN THAT
GIVE YOU EVERY PENNY I HAVE 
OHHH THERE GOES MY HEART IN YOUR HAND

I wanna know you like nobody knows you
i'll be your great protector so there's no need to fight 
i'm the one who whispers in your ear you're a warrior
make you believe that we can get through the night 

oh i'm there when you're stumbling home 
i'm the one that gets you fumbling with your phone 
i wanna be there when you're feeling so alone 
woah oh oh ohohoh 

I'LL WEIGH THE LOAD ON YOUR BACK 
TELL THE WORLD YOU'RE STRONGER THAN THAT
GIVE YOU EVERY PENNY I HAVE 
OHHH THERE GOES MY HEART IN YOUR HAND

I'LL WEIGH THE LOAD ON YOUR BACK 
TELL THE WORLD YOU'RE STRONGER THAN THAT
GIVE YOU EVERY PENNY I HAVE 
OHHH THERE GOES MY HEART IN YOUR HAND

oh i'm gonna weigh the load you bear on your back 
hold you tight around your center say you're stronger than that 
i'll give you my bottom dollar every penny i have 
i'm the one, i'm the one! i put my heart in your hand... 

I wanna know you like nobody knows you 
i'll be your great protector so there's no need to fight 
and then one day when all the mystery's over 
you go your way - and i'll go mine.... 

I'LL WEIGH THE LOAD ON YOUR BACK 
TELL THE WORLD YOU'RE STRONGER THAN THAT
GIVE YOU EVERY PENNY I HAVE 
OHHH THERE GOES MY HEART IN YOUR HAND

I'LL WEIGH THE LOAD ON YOUR BACK 
TELL THE WORLD YOU'RE STRONGER THAN THAT
GIVE YOU EVERY PENNY I HAVE 
OHHH THERE GOES MY HEART IN YOUR HAND
