lyrics

I want to be the one,
no strength no faith two talents gained from one
yeah I'd be down with that,
if I was weak you promised you'd be near at hand
but I've got faith that's grown,
twice the size of a mile stone.. which makes me nervous
tell me what's it worth
to feel your feelings at full strength -well maybe I'm stronger now, ya i feel kinda stronger now

Still I think I'd be better off without a single thought
of efficiencies and reasoning what you want (and what I'm not)
I've saught for years and came up empty and alone, yah I was wrong
Now just let me be a deadbeat with a simple song

Yeah you're by my side, at my heels, inside, and also everywhere
yeah I've got faith to shake this world but still I think i'd be better off with you
look i'm off my feet, here we go again i've dropped my mind which is circling again

chorus

let me be your deadbeat
lord, let me be your deadbeat son
cause i don't want you expecting
somebody who just isn't me

still you call me over hills, in shadows, and sometimes in the sun
to prisoners, widows, nursing homes, and to orphans
I will go as long as I can spend my every second guess
clinging to your love in my distress
