lyrics

There’s a lightweight
They’re always early, they’re never late
They’ll rush right in, they will not hesitate
You better believe they are a cheap date

When you see them coming down your street
And you know they ain’t the one to meet
They try so hard, they go so fast
There’s no way they will ever last
They’re lightweights

There's a middleweight
Sometimes they’re early, sometimes they’re late
Sometimes they’ll rush, others hesitate
They’ll come in feeling bad and leave feeling great

When you see them coming down your street
And you know they are the one you should meet
They don’t try hard or act like they care
They play but they’re well aware
They’re middleweights

There’s a heavyweight
They’re never early, they’re always late
They will not rush but they’ll hesitate
They’ll drive you crazy as they make you wait

And you see them coming down your street
And you think they are the one you should meet
But what you don’t know and what they won’t show
Is all their pain and all their grief
They’re a heavyweight

Don’t you know that they’re heavyweights x3

For the ever-evolving string band, the 5-song collection showcases their graceful maturation and feels more timeless than timely, in no small part due to frontman David Sickmen's most deeply cultivated songwriting to date. ... more
