143lbs

143lbs

Heavy

This is so heavy

Been getting heavy for a minute

Has my legs shakin' from the weight in it

So I've just been trying to catch my breath

But the bricks keep piling on my chest

And I've been handling this suffocation

Which, the shortest glance would bring elation

Palms hit knees, no more air, bent over

Or am I ok? 143lb emotional roller coaster

Then hands move to watering eyes

I'd never cried for any of the other guys

So what is a hopeless romantic to do,

When my body aches at the mere thought of you?

'Cause this day and age seems all too far past,

Standing in streets with boom boxes full blast

I can speak one thing aloud, for sure;

"I CAN'T FUCKING TAKE THIS ANYMORE!"
