Little Overweight For TV Lyrics by Amy Shark

It’s a Happy City

2011

[Verse 1]
I always feel a little bit dyslexic
When I read a note pass through your hands
And I'm kind of winging it through each sentence
Hoping that I'll make you understand
That it's bigging me to call
After you shut me down last night
Yeah, you're lucky we even talk
After last night
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I was sitting way too close to the TV
Hoping that America will pull me in
And I don't think that I'm making you incredibly happy
For once I just wish the world would let me win
[Chorus]
'Cause we're all trying to grow up safely
Even though we act like we just don't care
And there's nothing stopping us all from dying
Can we at least try and look like we're playing fair?
And you're a little overweight for TV
But I think your heart's in the right place
And I don't want to be your only witness
When the world dies and your body breaks
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, first rule of lovesick
Oh-oh-oh, don't cry in public
[Verse 2]
I always calling our family doctor
'Cause I'm sure I've only got two days to live
If I knew you would drop everything and come over
Those two days with you I'd like to live
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Even know I'm still a little overweight for TV
I'm pretty sure America will pull me in
I'm a sucker for the lights and the pretty pictures
One day the world will let me win
[Chorus]
'Cause we're all trying to grow up safely
Even though we act like we just don't care
And there's nothing stopping us all from dying
Let's at least try and look like we're playing fair?
And you're a little overweight for TV
But I think your heart's in the right place
I don't want to be your only witness
When the world dies and your body breaks
'Cause we're all trying to grow up safely
Even though we act like we just don't care
And there's nothing stopping us all from dying
Can we at least try and look like we're playing fair?
And you're a little overweight for TV
But I think your heart's in the right place
I don't want to be your only witness
When the world dies and your body breaks
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, first rule of lovesick
Oh-oh-oh, don't cry in public
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
