Blue October - Overweight Lyrics

Ever carried the weight of another? 
For how long? 
I walk as far as they need to recover 
For how long? (ha!) 

I want to carry a piece of who I was before 
So when I hit the wall, I really hit the wall 
I want to tear away the death again 
A whiter shade of fucking meth again 
I want to stick to clues, I want to come unglued 
I want to shape the world to fit the way you move 
Oh, should I listen for a dress size? 

I owned up, I've grown up, do you remember me? 
I showed up and so what if I'm the used to be 
I'm here to tell you that I'm sorry I was sorry 
But I'm happy that you're happy 
This is no longer about me 

Trade rules, switch sides for your beautiful eyes 
Let him be you through your beautiful cries 
Let him hold you up so you can touch affordable skies 
Live your life just like a dream 
Without the pain of goodbyes 
Goodbye! 

Ever carried the weight of another? 
For how long? 
I walk as far as they need to recover 
For how long? 

I been a drunk disrespectful little street punk 
Unlock the back of my trunk 
You see, you take this bat 
And bash my head into the street again 
No-ones around so I keep beating it 

Pull my hair back, look me in the eye 
There's a self-destructive meaning in the bleeding of a guy 
It's the guilt of what reality has given me 
Making sense of all mistakes and my stupidity 
And when you're sick you seem to think 
You've failed eternally 

And that the people you let in are only crumbling 
When you're sick of thinking life in this recovery 
When my decision paved the road 
That lies in front of me 

So to my friends that even call but I don't call back 
I want you deep inside my heart upon a hill 
It seems to hide sometimes and run away and wonder 
I'm really sick of saying sorry but I will 

Ever carried the weight of another? 
For how long? 
I walk as far as they need to recover 
For how long? 

But are we scared to take the ride? 
Or dare to look inside? 
I'm floating far away (far away) 
I'm floating far away (leaving home) 
I'm floating far away (so far away) 
I'm floating far away 

I want to learn to walk with others as an equal 
I want to treat the ones who love me with respect 
I want to tell the world I'll give them all a piggyback 
And try to take away my negative effect 
I want to kiss the girl, I know I'll never lie again 
I want to call my dad and tell him that I care 
I want to let my brother know 
He saved my life a thousand times 
Throughout the years he's been my friend 
Who's always there 

Ever carried the weight of another? 
For how long?
