Lightweight
Embracing the Lightness: Navigating Adulthood's Challenges with Caro Granner
Lyrics
You like it better when you're drunk
You prefer being intoxicated
It stops the ticking in your mind
Alcohol helps quiet the racing thoughts in your head
And you can't wait to grow up
You eagerly anticipate growing up
And be a lightweight til you die
Desire to live a carefree, easygoing life until death
And I'm the same, kid
The speaker relates to the listener as someone similar
Don't hesitate, kid
Encouraging the listener to act without hesitation
I'm always awake
The speaker is always alert or conscious
And I will be your designated driver if you want
Offering to be a sober driver for the listener
My brother's at the house for Christmas
The speaker mentions a family gathering during Christmas
A single drink and there I go
A mention of the listener's susceptibility to alcohol
Argue with our dad about The Matrix
Conflicts with the father about the movie "The Matrix"
I understand the ending til I don't
The speaker's understanding of the movie's ending is uncertain
And you're the same, kid
Similarities between the speaker and the listener
Don't hesitate, kid
Encouraging the listener to act without hesitation
I'm always awake
The speaker is consistently awake and aware
And I will be your designated driver if you want
Offering to be a sober driver for the listener
I don't do sequels
The speaker doesn't engage in sequels, prefers things concluded
I like it when it's done
The speaker appreciates when things are finished
I'm getting older and much worse at having fun
Admitting to aging and finding it harder to enjoy oneself
And in the morning,
Referring to the aftermath of a night of drinking
The pounding in your head
The discomfort or pain in your head in the morning
You always swear it won't but pretty soon it ends
The promise not to happen again, but it does
Yeah, we're the same kid
Emphasizing the similarity between the speaker and the listener
Don't hesitate, kid
Encouraging the listener to act without hesitation
I'm always awake
The speaker is consistently awake and aware
And I will be your designated driver if you want
Offering to be a sober driver for the listener
Only if you want
Repeating the offer to be a designated driver, contingent on the listener's desire
Only if you want
-Only if you want
-Only if you want
