We came home early hoping to catch you unaware
A little cautious but we've always had too much care
Hand on an anchor
A weight on the world
Hand on an anchor
You've been so tired lately, your skin takes you nowhere
We wonder what it is keeps you awake and out there
Hand on an anchor
A weight on the world
Hand on an anchor
Your weight in gold
Hand on an anchor
Your weight in gold
Your optimism called to say it's out till Sunday
Your disappointment shuffles off to meet you half way
Somewhere along the line you fall
Hand on an anchor
A weight on the world
Hand on an anchor
Your weight in gold
Hand on an anchor
A weight on the world
Hand on an anchor
Your weight in gold
Your weight on the world
Your weight in gold
