Weightless Lyrics
Manage me
I'm a mess
Turn a page
I'm a book half-unread
I wanna be laughed at, laughed with
Just because
I wanna feel weightless
And that should be enough
But I'm stuck in this fucking rut
Waiting on a secondhand pick-me-up
And I'm over getting older
If I could just find the time
Then I would never let another day go by
I'm over getting old
And maybe it's not my weekend
But it's gonna be my year
And I'm so sick of watching
While the minutes pass
As I go nowhere
And this is my reaction
To everything I fear
'Cause I've been going crazy
I don't wanna waste another minute here
Make believe that I impress
That every word by design
Turns a head
I wanna feel reckless
Wanna live it up just because
(Just because)
I wanna feel weightless
'Cause that would be enough
If I could just find the time
Then I would never let another day go by
I'm over getting old
And maybe it's not my weekend
But it's gonna be my year
And I'm so sick of watching
While the minutes pass
As I go nowhere
And this is my reaction
To everything I fear
(Everything I fear)
'Cause I've been going crazy
I don't wanna waste another minute here
This could be all I've waited for
(I've waited, I've waited for)
And this could be everything
I don't wanna dream anymore
Maybe it's not my weekend
But it's gonna be my year
And I've been going crazy
I'm stuck in here
Maybe it's not my weekend
But it's gonna be my year
(It's gonna be my year)
And I'm so sick of watching
While the minutes pass
As I go nowhere
(Go nowhere)
And this is my reaction
To everything I fear
(Everything I fear)
'Cause I've been going crazy
I don't wanna waste another minute here
I'm a mess
Turn a page
I'm a book half-unread
I wanna be laughed at, laughed with
Just because
I wanna feel weightless
And that should be enough
Waiting on a secondhand pick-me-up
And I'm over getting older
If I could just find the time
Then I would never let another day go by
I'm over getting old
But it's gonna be my year
And I'm so sick of watching
While the minutes pass
As I go nowhere
And this is my reaction
To everything I fear
'Cause I've been going crazy
I don't wanna waste another minute here
That every word by design
Turns a head

Wanna live it up just because

'Cause I've been going crazy
I don't wanna waste another minute here
(I've waited, I've waited for)
And this could be everything
I don't wanna dream anymore
But it's gonna be my year
And I've been going crazy
I'm stuck in here
But it's gonna be my year
(It's gonna be my year)
And I'm so sick of watching
While the minutes pass
As I go nowhere
(Go nowhere)
And this is my reaction
To everything I fear
(Everything I fear)
'Cause I've been going crazy
I don't wanna waste another minute here

Not gonna lie, it kinda bothers me when people say they were "scared it wasn't gonna be ATL" or something like that. Honestly, if they wanted to try a new sound for one of their songs, people should respect that. I really like this song, and it doesn't sound much different than the tracks on "So Wrong..." and "Put Up..." But whatever, haha.
And I'm pretty sure everyone has nailed the meaning of this song. It's just about living life and not wanting to sit around wasting it.
i agree with everyone, i was scared listening to the first few seconds of the second but the chorus fucking blows my mind! i love it, and can't wait for Nothing Personal!
When i first heard the beginning of this song, i was SO scared. It sounded super poppy, but its growing on me. I think its basically about getting out and living your life.
i agree! in the begining i was like whoaaa?! but now i love it, ahha it's refreshing :P

To me this is hitting kind of personal, because I am stuck in a rut right now as a freshman at a community college while all of my friends are off at universities starting their new lives and I'm still at home. I'm sick of feeling like this, like I'm "stuck" here with no idea what I want to do with my life and afraid everyone is going to move on with their lives and forget about the girl they left behind at home. I just want to be free, to be find a direction and go. I don't want to sit here, growing older and older in the same house I've been in for 19 years, while everyone around me has moved on.
I want to feel weightless.
I feel you on that one, trust me even if you went to a university its not any easier, i feel the same way and I go to a university.

Yeah, I think I understand how you feel. I'm in the same situation... I live in this tiny island in the Pacific, and I love it here, because it's my home, but I was looking forward to going off-island for college to experience the rest of the world. Everything was all set, too, but then I couldn't go at the last minute. And almost all my friends are leaving, and now I feel "stuck." I don't want them to forget me, either, but in the back of my mind I feel like I'll be left behind anyway. Right now, I'm...

Maybe it's not my weekend, but I'm going to try and make it my year.
I feel the same way. Most of my friends went away to college and I've been missing high school ever since. My senior year was so much fun and now the weekend is just another day for me, I rarely do anything fun any more. All I do is school and work, school and work. It's getting so old and I don't know what to do. Although like lxinsomniacxp said one of my friends that is at the university said that he missed high school too. I was so surprised when he said that....

boohoo... Get a real problem to cry about... i've basically been locked in my own room for 10 months now beacuse everytime i get out of my room, my head starts to twitch beacuse of some old furniture we got when my grandmother died, (the smell triggers the twitching). I cant think about anything else, i cant eat with my family, i cant play computer-games or read cuz i cant focus on anything when the twitching starts, i cant continue my studies beacuse of the head-twitching, i cant get a job, beacuse lets face it, who'd hire somebody who can...

Im stuck in my room, trying to think of ways to solve the problem, every day i seriously consider ways to end my life but I'm not there quite yet, I havent lost my hope yet... the worst thing is that i cant talk to anyone about it because everybody see me as this cool basically flawless guy... My parents are emotionally disfunctional so i cant talk to them about it...
Sorry but everytime i see somebody complain about a problem that basically is nothing ( in my opinion that is) I get filled up with hatred and rage...
first few seconds of the song kind of suck but it gets better.
if i'm not mistaken, isn't this about being involved in the music industry? unless that's a different song, idk. this song could pretty much relate to almost anyone, really in any situation.
I think it's about how he's just scared of wasting his life doing nothing and that's his biggest fear. This song has really grown on me. I can't stop listening to it.
And to the person above about whether this song it about the music industry, that one is a different one.
this song gives me butterflies in my stomach. i love it so much. it basically sums up everything im feeling right now in my life. fucking amazing. atl never fails to impress me.
Yeah I agree with allxtimexlow,I had the same fear the second it started I was like "oh god please please please get some ATL into it" but as it goes on it definatly gets more of there style in it.I agree this songs about wasting away life.The chours for this song is sick,and gave me goose bumps the second it came up,I love it. But uh to evenstarsbreak,theres a couple songs on this album about the whole record labels and the music industry,but this one isn't one of them,but yes theres a couple songs he's written for the album about that.
"And maybe it's not my weekend But it's gonna be my year" fuck yes. this is the soundtrack to my life.
not gonna lie, that has been my status on facebook for the last few months... its very fitting. love this song because of what its saying and it is also fairly good musically

Hella legit song. Like most people, I was scared the first few seconds, but this is by far my favorite song right now. Reminds me of TOYPAJ Blink mixed with HelloGoodbye. With that aside, I think it's just about sitting at home on a friday night when all your friends are out and you're stuck at home doing something like homework.
