Every restless night
Every waking day
I see the burden that you bear
And can't help but share the pain
Well I wish I could wave my hand and take it all away
And I have to say
Release the weight
I'll wear it on my shoulders
And I'll mark my place
And come on back when I'm older
Oh well, you and I may hold the front lines
But I'm getting in the way
And sometimes I wonder
Well, if I'm as bad as they say
Well this boiler's bound to blow
And I want to catch that train
And I'd never leave you on your own
But it's calling just the same
Well it's hard to make a difference when I'm staying in my lane
Still what's left to gain?
Release the weight
I'll wear it on my shoulders
And I'll mark my place
And come on back when I'm older
Well, you and I may hold the front lines
Oh but I'm getting in the way
And sometimes I wonder
Oh, if I'm as bad as they say
Release the weight
I'll wear it on my shoulders
And I'll mark my place
And come on back when I'm older
Well, you and I may hold the front lines
But I, oh lord, I'm getting in the way
And sometimes I wonder if I
Oh, if I'm as bad as they say
Well I've tried to find an answer
To love a life in chains
But whenever I get closer
Oh the feeling slips away
And it does not matter just where I stand today
Well, you can still find a way
Release the weight
I'll wear it on my shoulders
And I'll mark my place
And come on back when I'm older
Oh, you and I may hold the front lines
But I'm, oh, getting in the way
And sometimes I wonder if I'm
As bad as they say
