The Weight Lyrics

Iron out each wrinkle, every threadbare dividend

From the tossing and turning, craving and yearning, sheets of discontent

Teach me something tangible, I wanna feel like a kid again

Or should I count my blessings, never addressing the sorrows that I've spent

Give me hope, round the corner or behind some door

Oh I've been so disappointed before, need a return, need to relearn that I'm sure

That it's all worth the weight

Relentlessly impatient, premeditative me

Defensive existence in passive resistance to borrowed sympathy

If I could be remarkable, and a little less sensitive

Tuned to a sound, more like a noun and less an adjective

Give me hope, round the corner or behind some door

Oh I've been so disappointed before, need a return, need to relearn that I'm sure

Oh won't you take it away, is my grief something to comprehend

I'm sick of making mistakes, look me in the eye and make me sure

It's all worth the weight

It's all worth the weight

Open mouth and shining eyes I stood, drinking in the sound

I looked as if reminded of something I had found
