Baggage

You said you’re having strange dreams
Are they good or bad or both?
Got a head full, blurry thoughts babe
Are you living with a ghost?

In a big house in the country
Too much space and you feel trapped
Thoughts go bouncin’ off the walls
Got no one there to watch your back

Should we start lovin’?
Give this a try?
You got baggage, but so do I
You got baggage, but so do I
Lets give a try

b.a.g.g.a.g.e
Get off my back, you’re killin’ me
Get off my back, get off my back
Get off my back, I’m breakin’ free
I’m breakin free
I’m breakin free

This love is like a business
It could drive us both insane
Blind emotion leads to commotion
But part of me likes that game
Part of wants the chaos, part of me walks alone
What am I doing? Who am I fooling?
What’s a life spent on your own?

Should we start lovin’?
Give this a try?
You got baggage, but so do I
You got baggage, but so do I
Lets give a try

b.a.g.g.a.g.e
Get off my back, you’re killin’ me
Get off my back, get off my back
Get off my back, I’m breakin’ free
I’m breakin free
I’m breakin free

I’ve spent my whole life running
I’ve spent my whole life running from myself
I’ve spent my whole life running
I’ve spent my whole life running from myself

b.a.g.g.a.g.e
Get off my back, you’re killin’ me
Get off my back, get off my back
Get off my back, I’m breakin’ free
I’m breakin free

I’m breakin free
I’m breakin free

    Cardinals are often used to represent the reincarnation of a loved one; that’s why a cardinal is constantly around the woman. :)
  • @realfinder942
    Joining a youtube chat and immediately being presented with "Juan" was something I didn't expect today
  • @Paper_Brain
    Jesus I was so relieved when I found out "Camila" was an ex. I rarely stress about anything but the moment he rejected the call I felt actual dread.
  • @SirScrubbyXD
    For anyone that’s confused about the story, the boy just broke up with his girlfriend because she cheated on him, and the girl’s husband died in a car crash. “Baggage” represents the troubles they went through in the past that are messing with their relationship. The girl was crying in the bathroom because of her past and the boy was there to comfort her. They both let go of their baggage and lived on together
  • @Hunter_Snowfang
    Okay. It’s official. Any song made by RA is an instant hit.
  • @cring5915
    Clicking that ad 2 years ago with cats, dogs, and rats was probably one of the better decisions of my life
  • @caseymackin9468
    I just realized that because her husband had a ticket for the same trip, assuming they were going to sit next to each other, they gave up his seat, meaning this guy literally took her husbands place.
  • @elyeeto5022
    They both have their own past and their own “baggage” that they hold onto but together they both drop it and their free. This song is so fucking emotional
  • @alexspain9103
    I swear, you guys aren't just songwriters, you're storytellers. You take a combined audiovisual medium and use it to relate a story with the images, and emotions with the words. Goddamn, you're amazing.
  • he did good ignoring his ex, it's "one mistake" that he knows, and probably many other that he doesn't know, where there's one there will be more.

    "I mean, baggage can carry good things too, like uh... money, keys, raspberry lip balm." - Peter Parker
  • @minipulga6068
    The ex of the guy probably cheated more than one time, but she says "that was only one mistake"
  • @vybepokemon6044
    If you notice, the characters eyes look like people signifying they’re trapped, and the “I’m breaking free” gives a whole new meaning
  • The song is so good but can we talk more about the art style? Look at the scenes where she’s wearing low cut shirts, tank tops, or just a towel. Look at how she isn’t being sexualized. So many music videos with women, especially the few that are animated, have the female characters ridiculously exaggerated. She isn’t. It’s small but I love it
  • @GIGA3343
    Our new song L.U.G.G.A.G.E is coming out soon what a coincidence
  • One of the only bands that can consistently make new music that consistently slaps.
  • @rainalystre1877
    Glad I found your singles playlist. It's become my 'work' playlist. Can actually get stuff done while I vibe to these awesome songs
