Light Up Lyrics
What would I do differently
With two kids on my hip?
Let them say what they will, because they will anyhow
Let them say what they will, because they will anyhow
I'm the age you were then
What goes through your mind?
Find some success
And reduce the worry on your babies' minds
Let them say what they will, because they will anyhow
Let them say what they will, because they will anyhow
Lay (lay), lay back and light up
Lay (lay), lay back and light up
Without any guilt
Lay (lay), lay back and light up
Lay (lay), lay back and light up
Without any guilt
Credit my weak heart and strong mind
To that bad circumstance and the terrible time
Well I've searched for myself . . .
What will I find?
Let them say what they will, because they will anyhow
Let them say what they will, because they will anyhow
We're eggshells and not easy to hold
We uncurl and unwind when we sleep side by side
Let them say what they will, because they will anyhow
Let them say what they will, because they will anyhow
Lay (lay), lay back and light up
Lay (lay), lay back and light up
Without any guilt
Lay (lay), lay back and light up
Lay (lay), lay back and light up
With two kids on my hip?
Let them say what they will, because they will anyhow
What goes through your mind?
Find some success
And reduce the worry on your babies' minds
Let them say what they will, because they will anyhow
Lay (lay), lay back and light up
Lay (lay), lay back and light up
Without any guilt
Lay (lay), lay back and light up
Without any guilt
To that bad circumstance and the terrible time
Well I've searched for myself . . .
What will I find?
Let them say what they will, because they will anyhow
We uncurl and unwind when we sleep side by side
Let them say what they will, because they will anyhow
Lay (lay), lay back and light up
Lay (lay), lay back and light up
Without any guilt
Lay (lay), lay back and light up
Lay (lay), lay back and light up

the way i see it, it's about her mum and having to grow up and raise them (tegan and sara) at such a young age and making sure that they were alright and safe, regardless of what other people said about her or them, or the situation or whatever.
and Sara is contemplating over what her life would have been like had she been through that while giving credit to her mum for doing what she did and getting through everything with them because well, raising kids on your own is by no means easy.
"What would I do differently With two kids on my hip Let them say what they will, 'cause they will anyhow"
stop reposting the lyrics over and over wtf.
I actually hear, "What would I do to find relief, with two kids on my hips?"
i thought this song was about their disapproval of their mother's smoking (cigarettes/weed) around them, either while she was pregnant or while she was taking care of them as children. She neglected them by doing so, but didn't seem to care. Maybe i'm taking the "light up" line too literally.
I thought I had taken that line too literally as well, but I'm starting to think that the song does have something to do with that. Otherwise they would have titled it something else.

I can see what you mean. But to me, light up doesn't literally mean to light up. I see it more as doing something that society disapproves of. I think Sara is commending her mother for the work she did and reassuring her that even though she might not have been perfect, she did an excellent job raising them, so she shouldn't worry about doing things that society might not approve of because people will still judge and criticize no matter what.

Well eggshells are not easy to hold We uncurl and unwind while we sleep side by side

I hear her say we uncurl instead of they uncurl.
