[Verse 1]
Take me high, lay me low
You know my thoughts before I know
Lift me up when I'm down
You watched my back when we were young

[Verse 2]
You watched my back when we were young
You stick around when we're old
I'm sleeping sound when you're in the room
You help me stay above the ground

[Chorus]
You said
I couldn't take it
I wouldn't make it
I hate to say it
Oh, wait a minute
I couldn't take it
Over it now

[Verse 3]
You take me high, you lay me low
You know my thoughts before I know
I wore it out, you wore me down
You watched my back when we were young
[Chorus]
You said
I couldn't take it
I wouldn't make it
I hate to say it
Oh, wait a minute
I couldn't take it
Over it now
You said I can relate
It's all in your mind
I hate to say it
Oh, wait a minute
I couldn't take it
Oh, not to worry
Over it now

[Verse 4]
If I'm the trouble
You're the storm
If I'm the sound
You're the song
If I'm the thunder
You're the law
If I'm the dusk
You're the walk
[Chorus]
You said
I couldn't take it
I can relate
Oh, wait a minute
I wouldn't say it
Over the top
I wouldn't make it
I hesitate
Oh, wait a minute
I hate to say it
Deny he's worth saving
Oh, I didn't mean it
Over it now
You said
I can relate
You couldn't take it
Oh, wait a minute
Honey where's the money
I hate to say it
Deny he's worth saving
Over it now

[Outro]
Lift me up when I'm feeling down
Help me stay above the ground
