Verse 1
Faced with my mistakes
before I’m awake.
Feeling the demand
forces me to stand
Chorus 1
I see all the things I need to fix and can’t ignore.
Every challenge fills me with desire to do more.
The daily weight gives me the strength to live my life in style.
What’s the weight of one more worry?
Throw it on the pile.
Verse 2
Pushed past pain before.
Fall back on my skills.
And will, as hard as I can will,
they’ll be enough to pay the bills.
I will stand up straight.
I will stand up tall.
I can hold up everything
as long as I don’t move at all.
Chorus 2
I see all the things I need to fix, but can’t afford.
Every challenge overcome seems to lead to ten more.
I procrastinate, yet find the strength to hold on for a while.
Why worry ‘bout the weight of a worry?
Throw it on the pile.
Bridge 1
Water, shelter, food,
throw it on the pile.
Safety, stability, comfort,
throw it on the pile.
Bills, income, taxes,
throw it on the pile.
Family, creativity, contracts,
throw it on the pile.
(Guitar Solo)
Verse 3
The depth of the debt
doubles by the day.
Every drop of rain
carries my foundation away.
Why make promises?
Why make any plan?
I keep moving backward just tryin’ to
stay exactly where I am
Chorus 3
I see all the things I need to fix. There’s always more.
No longer love the challenge of an everlasting chore.
I wait and I procrastinate, but in the end the daily weight gives me the strength to go out with a smile.
Why worry ‘bout the weight of one more worry?
Throw it on the pile.
Bridge 2
Strength, stress, endurance,
throw it on the pile!
Shortfalls, failures, insurance,
throw it on the pile!
Debt, death, pain,
throw it on the pile.
Tortue, torment, remains,
While you’re at it, throw me on the pile!
