Heavy Enough to Keep
Style: Irish air

[Verse 1]
We packed the records into boxes
Under a sign that hummed and flickered
Heavy metal, heavier still to lift
You laughed and said you'd take the weight

[Pre-chorus]
I said I'd carry it if you asked
You said you never had to ask
And something in me leaned in closer

[Chorus]
Erin, you're the weight I choose
Nothing about you I'd refuse
Steady under that neon light
Erin, you make the carrying light

[Verse 2]
Years from now the boxes might be gone
The sign outside might not still glow
But I'll remember how you stood there
Bearing more than anyone should know

[Pre-chorus]
I said I'd carry it if you asked
You said you never had to ask
And something in me leaned in closer

[Chorus]
Erin, you're the weight I choose
Nothing about you I'd refuse
Steady under that neon light
Erin, you make the carrying light

[Bridge]
Some loves are loud, some loves are quiet
Ours was never built to prove a thing
You just picked it up and kept on walking
And I kept walking too

[Chorus]
Erin, you're the weight I choose
Nothing about you I'd refuse
Steady under that neon light
Erin, you make the carrying light

[Outro]
Somewhere a sign is still buzzing quietly
And I would carry you home again
