Lightweight by Juli Strawbridge Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I trip over sidewalk chalk
And make something out of nothing
You practice the way you talk
And you smile like you're bluffing
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Close the car door, ask you questions
Like I'm skipping thinking stones
I wanna know everything when I say I don't
[Chorus]
'Cause I can act like nothing makes me black and blue
You can act right if you want to
But my flag's white when you find me in this room
'Cause I can play hard, babe
But when the light fades I'm a lightweight too
[Verse 2]
I fist fight with questions
Won't believe I really know you
You wrestle and sometimes you run
But you always stop to smell the rosеs
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Declaring war with our thumbs
Sharpen swords that we'll nеver swing
Lost on the front lawn a quarter to one
Are you glad that it's been me?
[Chorus]
'Cause I can act like nothing makes me black and blue
You can act right if you want to
But my flag's white when you find me in this room
'Cause I can play hard, babe
But when the light fades I'm a lightweight
[Bridge]
Don't believe every word I've said
And I'll believe the ones you never did
Alone beneath the sky in infrared
Take a drink of the way this is
And you might find yourself admit
[Chorus]
You can act like nothing makes you black and blue
You can act right if you want to
But your flag's white when I find you in this room
'Cause you can play hard, babe
But when the light fades you're a lightweight too
I trip over sidewalk chalk
And make something out of nothing
You practice the way you talk
And you smile like you're bluffing
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Close the car door, ask you questions
Like I'm skipping thinking stones
I wanna know everything when I say I don't
[Chorus]
'Cause I can act like nothing makes me black and blue
You can act right if you want to
But my flag's white when you find me in this room
'Cause I can play hard, babe
But when the light fades I'm a lightweight too
[Verse 2]
I fist fight with questions
Won't believe I really know you
You wrestle and sometimes you run
But you always stop to smell the rosеs
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Declaring war with our thumbs
Sharpen swords that we'll nеver swing
Lost on the front lawn a quarter to one
Are you glad that it's been me?
[Chorus]
'Cause I can act like nothing makes me black and blue
You can act right if you want to
But my flag's white when you find me in this room
'Cause I can play hard, babe
But when the light fades I'm a lightweight
[Bridge]
Don't believe every word I've said
And I'll believe the ones you never did
Alone beneath the sky in infrared
Take a drink of the way this is
And you might find yourself admit
[Chorus]
You can act like nothing makes you black and blue
You can act right if you want to
But your flag's white when I find you in this room
'Cause you can play hard, babe
But when the light fades you're a lightweight too
