Lyrics:

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 every time
Always love. Don’t wait till the finish line

I never learned enough to listen to the voice that told me, Always love. Hate will get you every time.

Slow demands come ’round
Squeeze the air and keep the rest out
It helps to write it down
Even when you then cross it out
But Always Love? Hate will get you every time
Always Love. Even when you wanna fight.

Self-directed lives
I want to know what it’d be like to
Aim so high above
Any card that you’ve been dealt, you…
Always Love. Hate will get you every time.
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 good ones.
Hey, you good ones.
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 every time
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 good ones
Hey, you good ones
Hey, you good ones

Get It:

The Weight Is a Gift is available at Amazon for a great price:

Many might remember Nada Surf for its one 1996 hit, Popular. However, while Nada Surf might be a one-hit wonder, the band didn’t fade into obscurity. They’ve continued pumping out quality alt-rock records including The Weight Is a Gift and Let Go. While this one starts mellow, it doesn’t stay that way.

Turn it up, my babies.
