Lightweight

I trip over sidewalk chalk

And make something out of nothing

You practice the way you talk 

And you smile like you're bluffing 

Close the car door ask you questions like I'm skipping sinking stones

I wanna know everything when I say I don't   

 

Cause I can act like 

Nothing makes me black and blue 

You can act right

If you want to 

But my flags white 

When you find me in this room

Cause I can play hard but babe 

When the light fades 

I'm lightweight too

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 roses 

Declaring war with our thumbs, sharpen swords that we'll never swing 

Lost on the front lawn a quarter to one 

Are you glad that it's been me  

 

Cause I can act like 

Nothing makes me black and blue 

You can act right

If you want to 

But my flags white 

When you find me in this room

Cause I can play hard but babe 

When the light fades 

I'm lightweight too

Don't believe every word I've said 

And I'll believe the ones you never did 

Alone beneath this sky in infrared 

Take a drink of the way this is 

And you might find yourself admit 

You can act like 

Nothing makes you black and blue 

You can act right

If you want to 

But your flags white 

When I find you in this room

Cause you can play hard but babe 

When the light fades 

You're lightweight 

Too
