| [00:38.81] |
It could be your southern drawl |
| [00:41.06] |
or how you limp when you walk |
| [00:43.38] |
That makes |
| [00:44.00] |
|
| [00:45.29] |
me want to say |
| [00:46.91] |
|
| [00:48.47] |
all those things I never could |
| [00:50.54] |
A school boy crush carved into wood |
| [00:52.91] |
that fades |
| [00:53.66] |
|
| [00:55.12] |
in the rain |
| [00:56.31] |
|
| [00:58.06] |
You were born in a baptist house |
| [01:00.12] |
with a rusty spoon inside your mouth |
| [01:02.62] |
The taste |
| [01:04.25] |
didn't go away |
| [01:06.19] |
|
| [01:07.38] |
and when the sun comes peaking out |
| [01:09.75] |
You work until it goes back down |
| [01:12.19] |
the days |
| [01:13.25] |
|
| [01:14.12] |
are all the same |
| [01:15.44] |
|
| [01:17.06] |
With a baby boy strapped to your hip |
| [01:19.31] |
and a tiny cut above your lip |
| [01:21.63] |
That states |
| [01:23.19] |
god doesn't save |
| [01:25.81] |
|
| [01:26.56] |
everyone who buys his book |
| [01:28.81] |
some of us Get overlooked |
| [01:31.31] |
in a way |
| [01:33.50] |
it's a shame |
| [01:35.11] |
|
| [01:36.55] |
But you still walk in his light |
| [01:38.55] |
and say the same words every night |
| [01:40.86] |
I pray the lord my soul to keep |
| [01:43.38] |
but what about the rest of me |
| [01:45.82] |
My faith |
| [01:46.99] |
|
| [01:49.11] |
can't take the weight |
| [01:51.80] |
|
| [01:56.18] |
The summers came and left like fall |
| [01:58.36] |
ten thankless years of working hard |
| [02:00.80] |
The school bell rings the kids come home |
| [02:03.18] |
but you still feel like you're alone |
| [02:04.93] |
|
| [02:05.59] |
Because your husband holds his whiskey glass |
| [02:08.03] |
tighter than a hero's past |
| [02:10.46] |
You rip those black beads off your throat |
| [02:12.84] |
and swap them out for a knotted rope |
| [02:15.21] |
The end |
| [02:16.73] |
|
| [02:18.54] |
is your only friend |
| [02:21.26] |
|
| [02:25.08] |
You use that final rush of blood |
| [02:27.20] |
to say the things you never could |
| [02:29.58] |
I pray the lord that you will see |
| [02:31.95] |
in my eyes bulge out and my body swing |
| [02:34.45] |
Because I now I finally understand |
| [02:36.64] |
that jesus is like every man |
| [02:39.20] |
He tells you want you want to hear |
| [02:41.58] |
until you fall in love and he disappears |
| [02:43.39] |
|
| [02:44.10] |
My faith |
| [02:45.41] |
|
| [02:47.47] |
couldn't take the weight |
| [02:49.60] |
|
| [02:53.66] |
When the weight of the world |
| [02:55.78] |
falls square on your shoulders |
| [02:57.97] |
A pin prick or missed call |
| [03:00.72] |
can somehow destroy you |
| [03:03.22] |
We all are victims of warped expectations |
| [03:08.03] |
when people can't save us we suddenly hate them |
| [03:12.66] |
So much |
| [03:14.35] |
|
| [03:15.03] |
in fact |
| [03:17.47] |
that we lose our grasp |
| [03:18.97] |
|
| [03:19.97] |
on reality the responsibility |
| [03:23.84] |
|
| [03:24.34] |
that we have to ourselves |
| [03:29.34] |
And everybody else |
| [03:32.97] |
when the weight of the world falls square on your shoulders |
| [03:36.40] |
A pin prick or missed call can somehow destroy you |
| [03:41.59] |
We all are victims of warped expectations |
| [03:46.34] |
when people can't save us |
| [03:48.59] |
We suddenly hate them |
