"Goodnight Mr. Mountain" lyrics

When I was small, you stood so high
You picked me up, afraid of heights
I watched the ground pull away
You told me how I'd be someday
I was adored, I felt ashamed
When I grew up and thought of lame excuses to get moving
Couldn't find a better way than this

I keep it complicated
I don't think I'm gonna make it through to you, Invincible
You're running out of reasons to remember my face
Remember your guns, remember your time in the sun
Fought for your country, remember who won

When I was tall, as the mountains in the night
I still felt small, nobody died

I'm sorry that I had to miss you
I'm hoping that this one will take a picture of a moment
We couldn't find a better way to grasp
You can see right through me, don't know how to act
So don't try to tell me how

When I was tall, as the mountains in the night
I still felt small, nobody died
When I was tall, as the mountains in the night
I still felt small, nobody died
When I was tall, as the mountains in the night
I still felt small beneath the sky, nobody died
Nobody died
Nobody died
