The Weight of Love Lyrics

Cover art for The Weight of Love lyrics by Snow Patrol

This one is intriguing to me because I don't quite understand it. It seems like it's about a relationship with a girl who likes to argue...

"You love it when we lose our minds You love these little wars of words" "Because fear and anger they are a law unto themselves"

Or perhaps about the freedom of the relationship they have

"My heart is thumping I can feel it in my fingers No fear no anger we are a law unto ourselves" "A new empire beckons a new kingdom in the distance No gods are present just the sky the earth and us" [As if the kingdom is theirs and they can do whatever they want, because no gods.

This could also perhaps explain "the weight of love"... with nobody else to tell you what to do with it, the weight of love is all yours to carry... they seem to enjoy the weight of love.]

Awesome song.
