Pedestal/Cover Me
I put myself up on your shelf
You gave it all, and nothing else
No one can live up to these
High expectations of mine
That doesn't mean that you
Resist the temptation to try
I remember, just how it felt
To be loved, to be held
No one live up to these high
Expectations of mine
Now I've built a wall that is ten
Foot tall and no man can climb
I'm up high, circling around
Waiting to be let down
So let me down
Terrified, so I pretend there's
Reasons for us to end
All over again
Don't act surprised,
If we both know
It's just the way,
The way it goes
I never wanted to leave
But never needed to stay
The harder I tried to keep
The harder it was to change
I'm up high, circling around
Just waiting to be let down
So let me down
Terrified, so I pretend there's
Reasons for us to end
All over again
If I fall, if I fall on you
Would you fall?
Would you fall on me?
If I fall, if I fall on you
Would you fall?
Would you fall on me?
No one can live up to these
High expectations of mine
Now I've built a wall that is
Ten foot tall and no man
Can climb
Cover me
Every piece
When I can't control myself,
I wouldn't be with anybody else
Cover me
Never leave
I might be strong on my own,
But you're the better half that
Makes me whole
Cover me
In your truth
Forget all the perfect words,
It's everyday that you show
Me truth
Forgive me
Like you do
When I try but I fail
When I'm none of these
Things to you
You gave it all, and nothing else
No one can live up to these
High expectations of mine
That doesn't mean that you
Resist the temptation to try
I remember, just how it felt
To be loved, to be held
No one live up to these high
Expectations of mine
Now I've built a wall that is ten
Foot tall and no man can climb
I'm up high, circling around
Waiting to be let down
So let me down
Terrified, so I pretend there's
Reasons for us to end
All over again
Don't act surprised,
If we both know
It's just the way,
The way it goes
I never wanted to leave
But never needed to stay
The harder I tried to keep
The harder it was to change
I'm up high, circling around
Just waiting to be let down
So let me down
Terrified, so I pretend there's
Reasons for us to end
All over again
If I fall, if I fall on you
Would you fall?
Would you fall on me?
If I fall, if I fall on you
Would you fall?
Would you fall on me?
No one can live up to these
High expectations of mine
Now I've built a wall that is
Ten foot tall and no man
Can climb
Cover me
Every piece
When I can't control myself,
I wouldn't be with anybody else
Cover me
Never leave
I might be strong on my own,
But you're the better half that
Makes me whole
Cover me
In your truth
Forget all the perfect words,
It's everyday that you show
Me truth
Forgive me
Like you do
When I try but I fail
When I'm none of these
Things to you
