Ever carried the weight of another?
For how long?
I walk as far as they need to recover
For how long? (Ha, excuse me)

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 (death again)
A whiter shade of fucking meth again (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
I shoulda 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
(Hey) unlock the back of my trunk
You see, you take this bat
And bash my head into the street again (street again)
No one's around so I keep beating it (beat it)

I 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 (reality)
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 (crumbling)
We're fuckin' 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 (call back)
I hold you deep inside my heart upon a hill (in my heart)
Use to hide sometimes and run away and wonder
I'm really sick of saying sorry but I will

Ever carried the weight of another? (When I needed you)
For how long? (Where were you? Oh, where were you?)
I walk as far as they need to recover
For how long? (Wherever you be)

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 (whoa-oh)
I'm floating far away (so far away)
(For a long way, for a long way)

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

Floating far away
Floating far away
Floating far away

Ever carried the weight of another?
For how long?
