Dead Weight Lyrics

Dead Weight Song Lyrics
Dead Weight by Over The Rhine
words and music: Detweiler
recording: Besides
Sometimes I like to stick my fingers
where they don’t belong.
Sometimes I like to fake a fever
and just stay home.
‘Cause we smile in here
we don’t get too close to sadness.
‘Cause what’s holding us
is just about to break.
Ain’t it funny how life can drag behind us
just like so much dead weight.
Sometimes what feels like pretty good music
is just the same old song.
Sometimes we deal with bygone bruises
and find it’s been too long.
But we laugh in here
we don’t get too close to sadness.
We know good enough
is a thousand miles from grace.
Ain’t it funny how life can drag behind us
just like so much dead weight.
And my hometown train
is pulling from the station.
And I know for once
I really will be late.
And I’ll dream that we can leave the past behind us
just like so much dead weight.
Sometimes I like to stick my fingers where they don’t belong.
