This old house might swallow us whole Begins with our family and soon it comes 'round to our soul We're trying to grab 'hold of what we can't control Always living here On the edge
And that little heart, so full and complete Doesn't worry 'bout making ends meet As the dust is settling on every street I am filling Up with dread
That's got me feeling, feeling Heavy as lead
Don't tell me everything's gonna be alright Don't tell me everything's gonna be alright
And I don't mean to be so unkind I've just got too much weighing in on my mind I'm always afraid I'm falling behind Always reaching To get ahead
And that's got me feeling, feeling Heavy as lead, lead, lead, lead Heavy as lead, lead, lead, lead Heavy as lead, lead, lead, lead Heavy as lead
