I don't pack light, I travel for a living
And I don't abide by that fifty pound limit
On that Delta flight out west
I'm there every other Wednesday
But my heart ain't up in the air
So if you want me
Clear out a drawer, clear out a shelf
I wouldn't wanna do it with anybody else
Everything that's heavy, yeah, I check it at the door
Kinda feel like I don't need it anymore
I got some bones of old skeletons
From the old house at the dead end
I've got baggage but I'm moving in
We both slept on a mattress with I love you people
And shit, I even took it all the way to the steeple
So, boy, I know the weight and gravity
Of keychains with same keys
But if you want that welcome mat
Then roll it out with me
Clear out a drawer, clear out a shelf
I wouldn't wanna do it with anybody else
Everything that's heavy, yeah, I check it at the door
Kinda feel like I don't need it anymore
I got some bones of old skeletons
From the old house at the dead end
I've got baggage but I'm moving in
(If you want it, you want it)
(You know that you've got it)
To those thoughts in your head
My hand, back pocket of your jeans
Linen sheets in our bed
'Cause home is when you're with me, so
Clear out a drawer, clear out a shelf
I wouldn't wanna do it with anybody else
Everything that's heavy, yeah, I check it at the door
Kinda feel like I don't need it anymore
I got some bones of old skeletons
I've left the old house at the dead end
I've got baggage but I'm moving in
(Unpacked boxes)
(Half the closet)
(If you want it, you want it)
(You know that you've got it)
Clear out a drawer, clear out a shelf
I wouldn't wanna do it with anybody else
Baggage Video (MV)
In the first verse, Ballerini introduces the concept of travel and packing, noting, "I don't pack light." This line suggests she carries a lot with her, both physically and emotionally. The mention of traveling for work and the "fifty-pound limit" highlights a contrast between her professional life, which requires her to move frequently, and the emotional aspects of her life that can't be easily limited or defined.
Lines like "my heart ain't up in the air" indicate that, despite her frequent travels, her emotional investment is rooted in something deeper—her desire for a stable relationship. As the chorus approaches, the invitation to "clear out a drawer” and "clear out a shelf” symbolizes the readiness to share space, both physically and emotionally, with another person, showing that she is willing to let go of her past baggage for a new love.
