[Verse 1]
  I love the way   you turn and flow,
  the way the light   shines from it all.
  Now, I’ve got the weight of the world
on my shoulders.
  The morning run,   the traffic flow,
  the long way home, last of the snow.
  Now, I’ve got the weight of the world
on my shoulders.
 
[Chorus 1]
  It’s not alright,   I think you know
  when you’re left here, standing alone.
  It’s not alright,   you heard me say,
  but it’s not   right anyway.
 
[Verse 2]
  As time goes go by, the flowers will grow,
  the leaves that fall, melt into snow.
  Now, I’ve got the weight of the world
on my shoulders.
  You turn around, so quietly so
  you laugh out loud before you go.
  Now, I’ve got the weight of the world
on my shoulders. Yay ay yay.
 
[Chorus 2]
  It's not alright,   the things we say,
  but we say   them anyway.
  It's not alright   when love has gone
  and you’re left   here on your own.
  It's not alright   when things go wrong
  and you’re left   here standing.
 
[Bridge]
  Tear down the stars,         break the moon,
  so I can come back home to you.
  It's not alright,    it's not alright,
  it's not alright,   it's not alright.
 
[Outro]
  I love the way you turn and flow,
  the way the light   shines from it all.
  Now, I’ve got the weight of the world
on my shoulders.
