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 all the things that you say that you 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
