Vertigo Lyrics

It's early autumn, the leaves turn purple and red

We met at a concert surrounded by family and friends

And though it'd been years since we'd spoken

That night we got married and

Drove through our hometown

It didn't make sense

But it was still perfect

You saved me a seat at the front row, I'm nervous

I know you don't make me so queasy on purpose

Everyone's watching, they all know

I've got you so high on a pedestal

You've got vertigo

Don't climb down

I'll meet you halfway

Don't climb down

(Every time you're almost gone)

(You don't let me move)

Don't climb down

Every time you're almost gone

You don't let me move on

My mom remembers you

She's glad to see you again

(Every time you're almost gone)

(You don't let me move on)

Have your friends all heard of me

There's some here that I haven't met

The music is starting

The bands nonexistent

The crowd rises up

But they pay no attention

They'd rather watch us 'cause they all know

I've got you so high on a pedestal

You must have vertigo

Try to climb down

This doesn't feel safe

Try to climb down

(Every time you're almost gone)

(You don't let me move)

Try to climb down

Every time you're almost gone

You don't let me move on

All eyes on us at this venue

But nobody sees us

Notes on my phone

I went straight to to keep you intact

Wrote this that day

I should have been working

I'm up to my neck

My deadlines were yesterday

But now I can't think

'Cause you popped up like you've done

For the better part of 13 years

Right when I start to see clearly

You show up before I forget

But I could meet someone that's borderline perfect

Someone that sees me and makes this feel worth it

But they'd have no hope

'Cause they don't know

You'll always be higher on a pedestal and

I can't get you down

So just climb down

On your own

Why won't you just climb down
