Heavy Lyrics
An angel kissed my strings
While I slept last night
And her rhythm broke my hunger
And I died a little less
Well I just want to get some
Get some while I’m still tall
Oh, let’s tell the world we’re unheard
We’re unsure
We’re unstop
We’re unstoppable
Oh, let’s tell the girls to be strong
To be sure
To be heard
We want to be heard
And you’re all
You’re all I want
Yeah, all I want
So tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me where have you been?
Well, an angel kissed my hands
While I slept last night
And when I woke up this morning
God, I missed you something fierce
I just want to get some
Get some while I’m still tall
Oh, let’s tell the world we’re unheard
We’re unsure
We’re unstop
We’re unstoppable
Oh, let’s tell the girls to be strong
To be sure
To be heard
We want to be heard
And you’re all
You’re all I want
Yeah, all I want
So tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me where have you been?
Fashion isn’t dead
No, it’s just inside out
It’s just inside out
She says she needs a priest
Wants to get closer to God
I say all I need’s a ladder
I want to touch your sky
You want it all
Do you want it all?
Do you want it all?
Do you want it all?
And you’re heavy in my heart
You’re heavy in my hands
You’re heavy in my mouth
Yes, you’re heavy in my day
You’re heavy in my songs
You’re heavy in light
And you’re all that I want
Yeah, you’re all that I want
Yeah, you’re all that I want
God, you’re all that I want
Oh, you’re all I want
While I slept last night
And her rhythm broke my hunger
And I died a little less
Well I just want to get some
Get some while I’m still tall
Oh, let’s tell the world we’re unheard
We’re unsure
We’re unstop
We’re unstoppable
Oh, let’s tell the girls to be strong
To be sure
To be heard
We want to be heard
And you’re all
You’re all I want
Yeah, all I want
So tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me where have you been?
Well, an angel kissed my hands
While I slept last night
And when I woke up this morning
God, I missed you something fierce
I just want to get some
Get some while I’m still tall
Oh, let’s tell the world we’re unheard
We’re unsure
We’re unstop
We’re unstoppable
Oh, let’s tell the girls to be strong
To be sure
To be heard
We want to be heard
And you’re all
You’re all I want
Yeah, all I want
So tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me where have you been?

It’s just inside out

Do you want it all?

Yes, you’re heavy in my day
You’re heavy in my songs

And you’re all that I want
Yeah, you’re all that I want
Yeah, you’re all that I want
God, you’re all that I want
Oh, you’re all I want

this song is great. and it is definetely one of the very best of tegan and sara's songs. there are alot more t and s songs that aren't on this site.. but, i don't feel like i know the lyrics to the exact, but if i ever have time, i'll try
is this song about god or..?
Heavy has to be my favourite T&S song, and to come all the way from it's UFLO days.. Argh, Sara just has a way with words, no?
I thought it was about obsessive love; making someone your God. "She says she needs a priest Wants to get closer to God I say all I need's a ladder I want to touch your sky " The "you" in the song is set up to be compared to God.
yes i agree one of the best t&s songs. i really really need the tabs for this! ive been searching its so hard to find t&s tabs. ill give it time i guess. id say this is about obsessive love
And her rhythm broke my hunger And I died a little less Well I just want to get some Get some while I?m still tall
this song is so good.
i think this song is about falling in love with a girl for the first time, and wanting to tell the world about it. the lines "she says she needs a priest, wants to get closer to god" mean to me that the girl she fell in love with is'nt ready for it (maybe she is religious), but she (the singer) does'nt care about these doubts and just wants to live this love. "Oh, let’s tell the world we’re unheard We’re unsure We’re unstop We’re unstoppable Oh Let’s tell the girls to be strong To be sure To be heard We want to be heard" ... I suppose, this is how you feel, when you are a girl, who loves girls...
Do they play this song live anymore...? I know they don't like to play a lot of their old stuff, and I couldn't find it on YouTube.
Wish they would do small shows at exclusive locations and play some of their old songs. I call that wishful thinking.. Lol

Completely amazing, just took my breath away first time I heard it. But I don't really get the fashion isn't dead-part, it doesn't really fit in.
I definitely see this as falling in love with a girl who would rather know God, and isn't sure she wants to be with Sara.
Either way, definitely a beautiful song, my favorite of their oldies.
one of my all time favourite t&s songs.

i think its about a girl falling for a girl and she wants to tell the whole world. she is obsessed with her, and compares her to god. although the other girl may not feel the same, or feel too scared to come out "she says she needs a priets, wants to get closer to god" bc being gay is a sin. and she feels as though what she feels is wrong. although the other is saying "you are my angel, you are my god. don't worry about what others think"...

"fashions isnt dead. no its just inside out" is hard. but it may refer to the fashion of coming out. and also how its not fashionable or 'popular' to be gay. which could be a reason while one of the girls is afraid to show her love.
this is just my thoughts. tegan and sara are my favourite artists EVER. i would marry them if i could =)
