High Shelf
Style: Piano ballad

[Verse 1]
I saw the tubs on the high wire shelf
Green olives stacked beyond myself
I could not reach them on my own
You got them down, no need to yell

[Chorus]
Dominic, you make the small things hold
You turn the ordinary into gold
Nothing about us is ironic
I just love you, plain and bold

[Verse 2]
We ate them standing at the sink
No plates, no fuss, no time to think
You laughed with juice upon your chin
That's the kind of love I mean

[Pre-chorus]
I've had grand loves that came to nothing
Loud ones, quick ones, always rushing
Yours is steadier than that

[Chorus]
Dominic, you make the small things hold
You turn the ordinary into gold
Nothing about us is ironic
I just love you, plain and bold

[Bridge]
You don't need the highest shelf to prove it
You just reach up when I can't do it
That's the whole of what I'm saying

[Chorus]
Dominic, you make the small things hold
You turn the ordinary into gold
Nothing about us is ironic
I just love you, plain and bold

[Outro]
Some nights I still think of that shelf
How you got the whole jar down for me
