Nothing On Your Shoulders Lyrics

Cover art for Nothing On Your Shoulders lyrics by Ceres

"She weighs nothing on your shoulders, so why would you let her down?" "Now, stick with me, but the kernel of this song started when I saw a girl on a guys shoulders at a show I was at once. Pretty much as soon as she got up there, he let her down. I don't know why it stuck with me. She wasn't even that bummed out about it, and he didn't seem to be a complete dickhead. I don't think they noticed me as I creepily stared at them as I wrote lyrics in my head. Maybe I was the dickhead in this scenario. Anyway, I thought it was too much of metaphor to let slide. I think it's about staying strong for someone, trying not to let them down, when it's always so damned easy to. You can't always be such a selfish prick."
