You looked so easy from the other side of town Now every rise is reaching up to pull me down I feel the weight of you returning through my shoes And settle in until I find a way to move The wind comes leaning hard against me on the bend I let my shoulders loosen, find my feet again You've got another hill behind the one I see I've got a little more of myself to bring The harder that you lean into me The clearer I can feel the ground And somewhere in the weight between us A deeper kind of strength is coming out I lean into you when you push against me And feel the whole road rising through my bones With every step I give you back an answer Until this rhythm feels like something of my own You can stretch into the distance all you want to You can turn beneath the fading evening sky I'll meet you where the weight comes down upon me With my feet beneath me and my head held high The straight ahead is longer than it used to seem Your roughest edges keep on reaching into me I take a shorter step and let the rhythm stay Then feel the next guitar line carry through the strain I'm getting used to how you tighten every turn And finding something in the pressure that I learn The hill that filled my vision slowly falls behind Another piece of you I've met one step at a time The harder that you lean into me The clearer I can feel the ground And somewhere in the weight between us A deeper kind of strength is coming out I lean into you when you push against me And feel the whole road rising through my bones With every step I give you back an answer Until this rhythm feels like something of my own You can stretch into the distance all you want to You can turn beneath the fading evening sky I'll meet you where the weight comes down upon me With my feet beneath me and my head held high For a moment all the sounds begin to gather And the strings are pulling harder than before I can feel the ground and music move together As my footsteps find their place inside the roar I lean into you when you push against me And feel the whole road rising through my bones With every step I give you back an answer Until this rhythm feels like something of my own You can stretch into the distance all you want to You can turn beneath the fading evening sky I'll meet you where the weight comes down upon me With my feet beneath me and my head held high
