Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to start the song - Over the Rhine's All My Favorite People Are Broken. Start now... read the lyrics as you go.
All my favorite people are broken
Believe me, my heart should know
Some prayers are better left unspoken
I just want to 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 are not afraid to admit we're all still beginners
We are all late bloomers when it comes to love
All my favorite people are broken
Believe me my heart should know
Awful believers, beautiful 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 off the ground
But the poet says we must praise a mutilated world
We're all working the graveyard shift
You might as well sing along
Cause all my favorite people are broken
Believe me, my heart should know
As for your tender heart, this world's going to rip it wide open,
it ain't gonna be pretty, but you're not alone
All my favorite people are broken
Believe me, my heart should know
Awful 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, my heart should know
Some prayers are better left unspoken
I just want to hold you and let the rest go.
- Detweiler and Bergquist
