Harmonic Dirt - The Things That We Carry Lyrics

A rock on my back, a hole in my heart
She's not coming back, I brought it so far
A stone in my shoe, pockets turned out
Empty of you, emptied of doubt
The things that we carry, the things we let go
Brought out and shown off or left by the road
Lines we have written, words that we read
The things that we carry are all that we need
A memory tucked in, a faded goodbye
A lost promise stuck in the back of my mind
A load I let settle, a weight lifted off
So sentimental, so heavy and soft
The things that we carry, the things we let go
Brought out and shown off or left by the road
Lines we have written, words that we read
The things that we carry are all that we need
A wish that I once had, a thought of that time
Carried you back, to the end of the line
An old faded picture, lost in the box
I only wish that I still had that rock
The things that we carry, the things we let go
Brought out and shown off or left by the road
Lines we have written, words that we read
The things that we carry are all that we need

A rock on my back, a hole in my heart
She's not coming back, I brought it so far
A stone in my shoe, pockets turned out
Empty of you, emptied of doubt
The things that we carry, the things we let go
Brought out and shown off or left by the road
Lines we have written, words that we read
The things that we carry are all that we need
A memory tucked in, a faded goodbye
A lost promise stuck in the back of my mind
A load I let settle, a weight lifted off
So sentimental, so heavy and soft
The things that we carry, the things we let go
Brought out and shown off or left by the road
Lines we have written, words that we read
The things that we carry are all that we need
A wish that I once had, a thought of that time
Carried you back, to the end of the line
An old faded picture, lost in the box
I only wish that I still had that rock
The things that we carry, the things we let go
Brought out and shown off or left by the road
Lines we have written, words that we read
The things that we carry are all that we need
