“Baggage”

Your emotional baggage

I carried on the plane

You wouldn't let me check it

Or stow it away

Although it is heavy

it's that with which you came

I'll handle it with care cause I know

You would do the same

You ask me to hold you

So I don't let go

You ask if I know you

You're all that I know

How long will I love you

And how do I know?

My emotional baggage

I chucked into the sea

I waited for the waves to carry it

Far away from me

But the day that you met me

It came right back to shore

And the heaviest of bags you swung

Right on your shoulder

I ask you to hold me

So you don't let go

I ask if you know me

I'm all that you know

How long will you love me

And how do you know?

Our emotional baggage

It doesn't look the same

Sometimes I carry yours and sometimes

Mine has all the weight

I walked alone so long

I couldn't feel the pain

With you by my side now

Everything's changed...
