Heavy Heart Lyrics
Been watching so much TV
I’m thinner than I should be
Like a waterlogged ball
That no one wants to kick around anymore
Got an all-day morning hairdo
That no comb can get through
It’s all granola and beer
A calling card and a truck stop souvenir
I miss you like sleep
And there ain’t nothin romantic about the hours I keep
And it’s the mornings when it starts
I don’t look so good
Now I got a heavy heart
Talk a lot about football
And girls I kissed in grade four
I piss off my friends
I’m digging a hole just staring at the floor
Now every t-shirt has a white stain
I’m loving cigarettes again
I know every tune about
Guys and girls and hurts and hearts and moans
I miss you like sleep
And there ain’t nothing romantic about the hours I keep
And it’s the mornings when it starts
I don’t look so sharp
Now I got a heavy heart
It’s just a low rent payin’, palpitating, pump inside my shirt
And there’s a weight that is pressing so hard
God it hurts
Been watching so much TV
I’m thinner than I should be
Like a waterlogged ball no one wants to fuck with anymore
I miss you like sleep
And there ain’t nothing romantic about the hours I keep
And it’s the mornings when it starts
Ow, ow, ow
My heavy heart.
I’m thinner than I should be
Like a waterlogged ball
That no one wants to kick around anymore
Got an all-day morning hairdo
That no comb can get through
It’s all granola and beer
A calling card and a truck stop souvenir
I miss you like sleep
And there ain’t nothin romantic about the hours I keep
And it’s the mornings when it starts
I don’t look so good
Now I got a heavy heart
And girls I kissed in grade four
I piss off my friends
I’m digging a hole just staring at the floor
Now every t-shirt has a white stain
I’m loving cigarettes again
I know every tune about
Guys and girls and hurts and hearts and moans
I miss you like sleep
And there ain’t nothing romantic about the hours I keep
And it’s the mornings when it starts

Now I got a heavy heart
It’s just a low rent payin’, palpitating, pump inside my shirt
And there’s a weight that is pressing so hard
God it hurts
I’m thinner than I should be
Like a waterlogged ball no one wants to fuck with anymore
I miss you like sleep
And there ain’t nothing romantic about the hours I keep
And it’s the mornings when it starts
Ow, ow, ow
My heavy heart.

"I miss you like sleep And there ain’t nothin romantic about the hours I keep"
what a beautiful metaphor.
this is a great song and should definitly be on one of their albums, but for now it's only on the "Free The West Memphis Three" benefit album.

This is actually a cover of a song by an Australian band called You Am I. I haven't heard this version but I'm a big You Am I fan, so I'd be interested to check it out.
