Soul at walking pace: the coat is empty now, and the morning knows it.

The lyric

[verse]

I used to carry something heavy in my coat

A little fire I fed with my own two hands

[verse]

This morning I walked out and left it on the step

And nobody had to understand

[chorus]

I am lighter than I was

Lighter than I was

The weight was never mine to keep

I am lighter than I was

[verse]

Same street, same rain, same coat with empty pockets

I can hear my own steps now

[chorus]

I am lighter than I was

The weight was never mine to keep
