lyrics

The Weight - Michael McGraw and The Butchers

Barely getting by once we caught on fire
We got a weight that sits on our heart sometimes
We got a weight that says
“We’re all alright and if we could just relax this might soon be over!”

Barely getting by once we caught on fire
We got this weight that sits on our heart sometimes
And it’s that weight that says
“Well gather round, yea there’s a storms ahead...
better hold on tight”

The weight says I am here in your doorway,
And I’ve been calling out for weeks.
I’m starting now to wonder if your strong enough for me.
My friends tells me you’re so lovely
it’s probably why my heart is resting on my sleeve
and I’m standing here in gasoline.

Barely getting by once we caught on fire
We got a weight that rests on our heart sometimes
And it’s that weight that says “
we’ve fallen behind, why can’t you just accept
what might never be, never be!”

Girl you’re barely getting by,
you got a heart that’s on fire
I watch you stand in line
Hoping things will work out fine

The weight says I am here in your doorway,
And I’ve been calling out for weeks.
I’m starting now to wonder if your strong enough for me.
My friends tells me you’re so lovely
it’s probably why my heart is resting on my sleeve
and I’m standing here in gasoline.

Now we’re all getting older now
It’s just a thing that happens as the clock goes round
you can fold your hands or stand and shout

Barely getting by once we caught on fire
Still got that weight that rests on our heart sometimes
And it’s the weight that says
“It’s all alright”, yea it’s the weight that says
