Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Words in my mouth
Someone told me to say
They go unspoken
My mind gets in the way
[Verse 2]
I hold my tongue
Save my, save my soul
True to myself
And stay gold
[Verse 3]
Sometimes you gotta pull the plug
Somewhere a little place to crawl
Love me for who I am
It doesn't have to be this hard
For an ordinary man
[Verse 4]
I wanna take cover, take cover
From you
Wake me when it's over
Take cover, I wanna take cover
From you
[Verse 5]
Sold all my dreams
Watched them all disappear
I've spilled my blood
No one seems to care, no
[Verse 6]
Sometimes you gotta pull the plug
Somewhere a little place to crawl
Love me for who I am
How low do I have to go to make you understand?
[Verse 7]
I wanna take cover, take cover
From you
Wake me when it's over
Take cover, I wanna take cover
From you
[Verse 8]
I wanna take cover, take cover from you
Wake me when it's over
Take cover, I wanna take cover from you
[Verse 9]
Cover, take cover
Nothing I can do
To keep from going under
Take cover, take cover from you
[Verse 10]
Save my soul
Save my soul
