overly ripe fruit “uptempo “

[INTRO] God, I’m tired… Not of living. I’m tired of carrying everything like I was built without a breaking point. [VERSE 1] I’m tired of my head hanging like overly ripe fruit, Heavy from the branches of everything I’ve been through, Everybody wants the smile, nobody asks for the truth, I’ve been feeding everybody while I’m starving for you. I got prayers in my pocket, but my faith getting thin, Keep telling myself tomorrow gotta be different, I’ve been standing in the rain trying to dry from within, How you fight for your life when the fight never ends? I don’t need a sermon, I need somewhere to breathe, Need a little bit of peace that don’t come with a fee, Need somebody to tell me I ain’t crazy to grieve, Maybe God ain’t ignoring me, maybe He’s teaching me peace. [PRE-HOOK] If Heaven got a doorway, I’m not asking to go through, I’m just asking God to come down and tell me what to do. [HOOK] God, come get me, Come get me out my head, Come get this weight up off me, Come get me out this bed. I’m tired of my head hanging like overly ripe fruit, One more storm and I don’t know what I’m gonna do, If You can hear me, Lord, I’m talking straight to You, I don’t wanna disappear, I just wanna feel brand new. [VERSE 2] I’ve been making peace with things that broke me apart, Putting flowers on graves while I’m burying parts of myself I never got to become from the start, Still got love in my chest, just a crack in my heart. And I laugh with my family like nothing is wrong, Then the house gets quiet and the mask comes off, Everybody sees the man, nobody sees what it costs, I’ve been paying for tomorrow with the pieces I lost. Maybe I don’t need saving, maybe I need direction, Maybe all this pressure is a strange kind of protection, Maybe God ain’t late, maybe He’s building connection, Between the man that I was and the man I’m becoming. So I’m lifting up my head even if it feels heavy, I ain’t saying I’m healed, I’m just saying I’m ready, If the road gets dark, I’ll remember You led me, And if I fall tonight, Lord, please catch me gently. [PRE-HOOK] If Heaven got a doorway, I’m not asking to go through, I’m just asking God to come down and tell me what to do. [HOOK] God, come get me, Come get me out my head, Come get this weight up off me, Come get me out this bed. I’m tired of my head hanging like overly ripe fruit, One more storm and I don’t know what I’m gonna do, If You can hear me, Lord, I’m talking straight to You, I don’t wanna disappear, I just wanna feel brand new. [OUTRO] Maybe the fruit ain’t rotten… Maybe it’s just heavy. Maybe it ain’t time to fall. Maybe it’s time to finally grow somewhere else.
