All My Favorite People Lyrics by Over the Rhine

The Long Surrender

0

All my favorite people are broken
Believe me
My heart should know
Some prayers are better left unspoken
I just wanna hold you
And let the rest go
All my friends are part saint and part sinner
We lean on each other
Try to rise above
We're not afraid to admit we're all still beginners
We're all late bloomers
When it comes to love
All my favorite people are broken
Believe me
My heart should know
Orphaned believers, skeptical dreamers
Step forward
You can stay right here
You don't have to go
Is each wound you've received
Just a burdensome gift?
It gets so hard to lift
Yourself up off the ground
But the poet says, We must praise the mutilated world
We're all workin' the graveyard shift
You might as well sing along
All my favorite people are broken
Believe me
My heart should know
(As for) your tender heart—
This world's gonna rip it wide open
It ain't gonna be pretty
But you're not alone
'Cause all my favorite people are broken
Believe me
My heart should know
Orphaned believers, skeptical dreamers
You're welcome
Yeah, you're safe right here
You don't have to go
'Cause all my favorite people are broken
Believe me
I should know
Some things are better left unspoken
I just wanna hold you
And let the rest go
