Ten Feet Tall
歌词:
[English]
I'm clumsy
And my head's a mess
'Cause you got me growing taller everyday
We're giants in a little man's world
My heart is pumping up so big that it could burst
I've been trying so hard not to let it show
But you got me feeling like
I'm stepping on buildings, cars and boats
I swear I could touch the sky
Oh-oh-oh
I'm ten feet tall
Oh-oh-oh
I'm ten feet tall
...
I'll be careful
So don't be afraid
You're safe here
No, these arms won't let you break
I'll put up a sign in the clouds
So they all know that we ain't ever coming down
I'm trying so hard not to let it show
But you got me feeling like
I'm stepping on buildings, cars and boats
I swear I could touch the sky
Oh-oh-oh
I'm ten feet tall
Oh-oh-oh
I'm ten feet tall
...
You build me up
Make me what I never was
You build me up
From nothing into something
Yeah, something from the dust
Been trying so hard not to let it show
But you got me feeling like
I'm stepping on buildings, cars and boats
I swear I could touch the sky
Oh-oh-oh
I'm ten feet tall
Oh-oh-oh
I'm ten feet tall
...
Oh-oh-oh
I'm ten feet tall
Oh-oh-oh
I'm ten feet tall
...
