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
