Heart's Too Heavy - John Moreland

Ooh, hmm It feels like it's getting a little too heavy, ooh 'Cause everything is breaking down on me, ooh Can I get somebody to help me? 'Cause everything is breaking down on me, ooh Must admit that I've been feeling helpless, ooh Like the weight of the world is coming down on me, ooh I know this feeling won't last forever, ooh, ooh So, I'm holding on until it's passed away But right now it feels like, yeah-yeah It feels like it's getting a little too heavy 'Cause everything is breaking down on me, ooh Can I get somebody to help me? Ooh 'Cause everything is breaking down on me, ooh See, I'm usually the strong one (I'm usually the strong one) You won't often see me cry (often see me cry) But everything seems to be stacking up a mountain high It feels, feels like, yeah-yeah It feels like it's getting a little too heavy Heavy, everything 'Cause everything is breaking down on me Can I? Can I? Yeah Can I get somebody to help me? Can I get some assistance? Oh, my, my, my, my, my, my 'Cause everything is breaking down on me, ooh

And now I'm begging for your love But no there's nothing left from you It's all too heavy for my heart to lose I guess the feeling was off The tension extreme I'd laid on a cross forsaken it seemed Torn and ashamed The cycle remains I'm draining us again And now I hold my weight like it's a thousand chains I try to pull my legs to keep from sinking in And now I'm begging for your love But no there's nothing left from you It's all too heavy for my heart to lose And you got me begging for your love And you got me begging for your love And you got me begging for a chance to prove I stripped myself of my health, of my gratitude You move in waves so I chase just to sink with you If I'm just pulling you under, detach and move forward And don't look back here again I see the way, it's deepening I hope you feel afraid, it's real again We're losing it So I keep holding on and on Praying no love is gone But now I'm begging for your love But no there's nothing left from you It's all too heavy for my heart to lose And you got me begging for your love And you got me begging for your love And you got me begging for a chance to prove So maybe someday we'll be something Maybe it'll be alone So for as long as I'm alive I'm giving everything to you It's all too heavy for my heart to lose

Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh yeah, yeah yeah! Oh... Well it's been six long years, Baby, I've done my time. You're puttin' too much pressure On this heart of mine. Oh! Well I know what I need, I need it from you. Yes I do. I'm gonna get my thrill, Before the night is through. Ew! (Oh no) I can't see straight, My head is spinnin'... (Oh yeah) Legs start to shake... You got me spinnin' around. [Chorus:] I'm running too hot. I think I'm boilin' over. (Too hot) I'm losin' control. (I'm runnin' too hot) You better think it over. Better run for cover, 'Cause I can't cool down, no. I spend my whole life lookin' For a? like you. Ew yeah. I can't begin to tell you, What I'm-a gonna do to you. (Oh no) I can't see straight My head is spinnin'... You got me spinnin' around. (Oh yeah) - Legs start to shake... C'mon little girl, Take me all the way down. [CHORUS] [CHORUS] [Guitar bridge] Baby, baby, baby. You got me spinnin' around, Baby, baby, baby, baby!

(I'm running too hot) Shot down in love. (I'm running too hot) I'm gonna give it to ya. (I'm running too hot) C'mon...

I'm a heavy metal warrior Restless son of a bitch A weapon of destruction With both hands on the switch Walk right though the fire With venom in my veins Breaking down the doors Kicking ass and taking names Striking just like lightning Forward without fear Don't think twice about it Never shed a tear Stalk like a chameleon Hiding in plain sight You won't see me coming Too late to say goodnight I'm a man on a mission You'll never kill me And I'm a man with a vision You're too blind to see I'm too mean to die I'm too mean to die Spit right in your eye Poison and infection Parasites and pain Can't live within me They all go up in flames Powered by adrenaline Vengeance is the creed Focused like a pit bull Satisfaction guaranteed I'm a man on a mission You'll never kill me And I'm a man with a vision You're just too blind to see I'm too mean to die I'm too mean to die I've got to live forever! I'm too mean to die Too mean to die You can't kill me I was born to survive Got the heart of a lion I'm a cat with nine lives I'm too mean to die Too mean to die I'm too mean to die I just might live forever! I'm too mean to die Too mean to die

I guess I got a taste for poison I've given up on ever bein well I keep mindin the horizon Diggin for lies I have yet to tell And I wish you were here And softly say my name Calm down all the chemicals tearin through my brain I don't think I've missed you this much Since I was seventeen I'd call you in the morning, but I think this is a dream Cherokee Cherokee Well you'd call those doubts right out of me I see you shinin through the tree tops, But don't feel you pulling strings anymore I still use your old alarm clock Every mornin I get further off the course. And don't I hear you speakin in the noises in this house Airplanes flyin over, shakin all my secrets out Darlin tell me somethin that I don't already know I'm aware of where to find ya it hurts too bad to go To Cherokee Cherokee Well, you call those doubts right out of me It felt like the world was burnin You had stars in your eyes Shinin for a feelin that I can't afford to buy Everything you taught me still rattles in my head I'm stayin off of Main Street, You're talking to the dead In Cherokee Cherokee I wish you'd call these doubts right out of me

I swore the days were over Of courtin empty dreams I worshipped at the altar of losing everything And the guard I held together Was losing all its shape And in my head you looked so gorgeous It's keeping me awake There's a scar on my soul So let me down easy Break my heart sweetly Like you always do I guess I can't let go Til you wreck me completely Break my heart sweetly Drape me in blue I was never scared of nothin Thought I had a home Life went and broke me open So I carried it alone I'm findin all this well-worn sadness I never knew I kept And I still chase you into heartache Every time you take a step. There's a scar on my soul So let me down easy Break my heart sweetly Like you always do I guess I can't let go Til you wreck me completely Break my heart sweetly Drape me in blue I swore the days were over Of courtin empty dreams I worshipped at the altar Of losing everything But you had a halo made of diamonds Resting on your head I should be dealing with my demons But I'm dodgin' them instead. There's a scar on my soul So let me down easy Break my heart sweetly Like you always do I guess I can't let go Til you wreck me completely Break my heart sweetly Drape me in blue

I've been living with a curse Combing through the pages of my youth There's a million soggy miles Soaking through the soles of my shoes And I've been staying up all night I don't give a damn to sleep anymore My eyelids are heavy But my dreams don't sing like before And I apologize a thousand times for holding up the show I always had the words, but they don't quite know where to go You said give me one good reason, now give me 20 more Oh, don't give yourself away to settle someone else's score I got the guiltiest conscience Listening for a savior on a Saturday night I got my ear to the ground You got Easter Sunday in your eyes And I apologize if I seem a little overwhelmed I'm thirsty, but the holy keep on pissing in my well I had a purpose and a song that was true But I ain't ever had a lick of sense when it comes to you So try to be patient, try to understand I'm a child, trying to do the work of a man My pockets are empty, I don't own a thing But I'd take a diamond from the sky And put it in your ring

Star crossed eyes and cross eyed stars No use hiding age old scars Well you're not here and I can't be still I don't think that I'll sleep until I see you The strongest will the softest touch I never knew I'd have so much You call me out and reign me in Riding through the rain again tonight Hold my hand and ease my aches Wake me up when my fever breaks I'm laying down my soul The answers that I can't know And the pain I never thought I would let go of These days we got held to pay And we got ridged rolls to play And driving around this neighbourhood Just ain't doing me no good this time But darling when you reach for me It feels just like infinity Honey help me break this curse Howling at the universe again Hold my hand and ease my aches Wake me up when my fever breaks I'm laying down my soul The answers that I can't know And the pain i never thought i would let go of
