The Dø - On My Shoulders lyrics

Why would I carry such a
Weight on my shoulders?
Why do I always help you carry your boulders?
You wonder why I carry such
A weight on my shoulders
And why would I t-t-t-t-t such a load?
But someday you'll see
Next time I'll try it another way

Why would you try to make
Me friends with them soldiers?
When you know that I've never
Been familiar with orders
When you know that my heart
Is in a pretty disorder
And you should know that in my
Heart you fill every corner
And someday you'll see that all
I want is to please
Oh, next time I'll try it another way

How long will I sit and wait like a soldier?
How many summers will it take?
How many summers will I wait?
How many shoulders will I break?

Why would I carry such a
Weight on my shoulders?
Why am I always by your
Side when you're down?
And why did I help you
Build a beautiful house?
And why did I break my back
For you in the cold? And someday you'll see
Next time I'll try it another way

Why would I have to quit
If time makes me older?
Why do they wonder why I never get bored?
And how could I tell them
That I'll never let go
But hey you're my man and
They just won't understand
Someday you'll see that all I
Want is to please, oh
Next time I'll try it another way

How long will I sit and wait like a soldier?
How many summers will it take?
How many summers will I wait?
How many shoulders will I break?

Why would I carry such a
Weight on my shoulders?
Why do I always help you carry your boulders?
You wonder why I carry such
A weight on my shoulders
And why would I t-t-t-t-t such a load?
And someday you'll see, all I
Want is to please, oh
Next time I'll try it another way

How long will I sit and wait like a soldier?
How many summers will it take?
How many summers will I wait?
How many summers will I wait?
