He's saying that life gets confusing and it can be hard to find your way. With all the chaos and varying opinions and temptations, it's hard to find the "signs" that point to what's right and help you stay true to your values. It's easy to just let go, become "weightless" and be dragged along by the rush of opinions and press and information overload.
In the midst of this, the singer indicates that his partner (presumably a woman) is the heavyweight or the anchor that holds him in place and keeps him from being lost in the rush. She reminds him of who he is and what really matters in his life so that he can stay true instead of becoming weightless.
This is a love song.
