Lyrics: Nada Surf. The Weight Is A Gift. Always Love.


To make a mountain of
Your life is just a choice
But I never learned enough
To listen to the voice that told me

Always love
Hate will get you everytime
Always love
Don't wait 'til the finish line

Slow demands come round
Squeeze the hair and and keep the rest up
It helps to write it down
Even if you then cross it out

Always love
Hate will get you everytime
Always love
Even when you want to fight

Self-directed lives
I want to know what it'd be like to
Aim so high above
Any card that you gained, didn't you?

Always love
Hate will get you everytime
Always love
Hate will get you

I've been held back by something
Yeah
You said to me quietly on the stairs
I've been held back by something
Yeah
You said to me quietly on the stairs
You said
Hey you could once
Hey you could once

To make a mountain of
Your life is just a choice
But I never learned enough
To listen to the voice that told me

Always love
Hate will get you everytime
Always love
Hate will get you

I've been held back by something
Yeah
You said to me quietly on the stairs
I've been held back by something
Yeah
You said to me quietly on the stairs
You said
Hey you could once
Hey you could once
Hey you could once
