[Verse 1] It's getting harder to remember
The things to say that make it better
And I could write them in a letter
Do you think that'd make it better
If it's too hard to stay together
She'll walk away and i'll just let her
It's just my life changing like the weather
And on a scale I am a feather

[Chorus] I am a feather on a scale
A train that's been derailed
A kite without a tail
A ship without a sail
Oh waiting for the lord to send some wind
To blow this feather off it's scale

[Verse 2] It's getting harder to believe
In just about anything
We all must choose our own direction
We all must make our own confessions
It don't matter who you tell what you've done wrong
It makes no difference to what you've done
And now-a-days everything is up for sale
We're all just feathers on a scale

[Chorus] I am a feather on a scale
A train that's been derailed
A kite without a tail
A ship without a sail
Oh waiting for the lord to send some wind
To blow this feather off it's scale

[Verse 3] And now you know I can't remember
My way back home since I left her
And I'm not one to plant my feet too long
But it's getting cold and I need shelter
So if I write that in a letter
Could you just pretend that makes it better
And even if we are destined to fail
We're both just feathers on a scale

[Chorus] I am a feather on a scale
A train that's been derailed
A kite without a tail
A ship without a sail
Oh waiting for the lord to send some wind
To blow this feather off it's scale
