    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

    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

    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

    This band needs an interconnected music video universe for their beautifully designed and wonderfully animated characters. That would be so amazing just like their songs!

    not only is the song so much fun to listen to a really well made, but the animation is super smooth and pretty, and the story is so sweet yet heavy at the same time! i feel genuinely happy for both of them meeting each other, it just seems so perfect and i love it-
