lyrics

Don't carry too much weight
Don't carry too much weight

You put me in the backseat again
I thought I saw a change
Telling me to work for it and sweat
That it happens all the time

Push me down a lifeboat, yeah to sink
Dark habits, no surprise
Never been so close by to the win
So I just waited like a child

And it shows you're on to something
When the faces start to fume
Oh, I hate to see them coming
Cause they all look like balloons

You're an early bird for sorrow
It's a lift-off, with view
They all love the way you talk
But honey I know that ain't you

So don't carry too much weight
Don't carry too much weight

Stuck here in the fast lane again
There's no work I've got to do
The men up there, they'll tell you anything
If you believe it to be true

So it shows you're on to something
When the water's floating out
And I may have been impulsive
But I haven't had a doubt

You don't want to be that person
Who is always keeping score
They all love to see you move
But that ain't what you're looking for

So don't carry too much weight
Don't carry too much weight

I know that when you're nervous, you grin
But I also know that's when you flee
You're looking like a big star, so you win I guess
Oh we just needed company

And it shows you're on to something
When there's more to it than taste
I don't care about what you heard
About a pretty pretty pretty face

You became the only good girl
To have ever crossed this floor
And I think it's only natural
To keep coming back for more

And don't carry too much weight
Don't carry too much weight

You put me in the backseat again
Can't bare the thought of change
Telling me to work for it and sweat
That it happens all the time
