Slow Your Roll (Pedestal)
Pedestal
You're puttin' him on a pedestal
Where does that leave you?
So far down we can't even see you
You've only just met
But you're up all night
Enthralled and in self-loathing
'Cause this intensity just ain't right
He could be a wolf in sheep's clothing
Slow your roll
Acknowledge your feelings
Accept that they're there
Slow your roll
What starts quickly ends quickly
In the name of self-care
He might not be ready
He might not be right
You might end up thinking
Was I out of my mind?
If he's really the one
He ain't goin' nowhere
So, slow your roll
You've been here before
It's all too familiar
A flood of mixed emotions
You feel sillier and sillier
"Will I ever learn"
Yes, you will, it just takes practice
Every time you're burned
Brush it off, 'cause you're a cactus
Oh, darlin' won't you
Slow your roll
Acknowledge your feelings
Accept that they're there
Slow your roll
What starts quickly ends quickly
In the name of self-care
He might not be ready
He might not be right
You might end up thinking
Was I out of my mind?
If he's really the one
He ain't goin' nowhere
So, slow your roll
Pedestal
Take him off of that pedestal
Plant him squarely beside you
Then take your space
'Cause you don't know
So be rational
If it's written in the stars
You ain't runnin' no race
He might not be ready
He might not be right
You might end up thinking
Was I out of my mind?
If he's really the one
If he's really the one
He ain't goin' nowhere
So, slow your roll
Acknowledge your feelings
Slow your roll
Accept that they're there
Slow your roll
In the name of self-care
Slow your roll
You're puttin' him on a pedestal
Where does that leave you?
So far down we can't even see you
You've only just met
But you're up all night
Enthralled and in self-loathing
'Cause this intensity just ain't right
He could be a wolf in sheep's clothing
Slow your roll
Acknowledge your feelings
Accept that they're there
Slow your roll
What starts quickly ends quickly
In the name of self-care
He might not be ready
He might not be right
You might end up thinking
Was I out of my mind?
If he's really the one
He ain't goin' nowhere
So, slow your roll
You've been here before
It's all too familiar
A flood of mixed emotions
You feel sillier and sillier
"Will I ever learn"
Yes, you will, it just takes practice
Every time you're burned
Brush it off, 'cause you're a cactus
Oh, darlin' won't you
Slow your roll
Acknowledge your feelings
Accept that they're there
Slow your roll
What starts quickly ends quickly
In the name of self-care
He might not be ready
He might not be right
You might end up thinking
Was I out of my mind?
If he's really the one
He ain't goin' nowhere
So, slow your roll
Pedestal

You might end up thinking
Was I out of my mind?
If he's really the one
If he's really the one
He ain't goin' nowhere
So, slow your roll
Acknowledge your feelings
Slow your roll
Accept that they're there
Slow your roll
In the name of self-care
Slow your roll
