"Always Ten Feet Tall" lyrics

"Always Ten Feet Tall"

So I said, "Let's forget about these days and
Just try to build some solid ground
Maybe someday we could stand straight up
With our faces in the wind and
Scream to the world"
We were at some boating dock
Oh somewhere at the waterfront staring out
Across the channel
A steamer blared its horn and
I wished I could say everything right like do
You want to go for a ride?
I looked to your face and saw the sun
Reflecting off your skin and I breathed
In water smells
The skyline filled with shipping yards
And factories had me dreaming of
Waking up
Am I dreaming? Is this really me?
Because I've never felt so not lonely
And if this could be real right now
Then every day for the rest of my life
I will search for moments full of you
But let's hope tomorrow won't cave in
'Cause I'm looking for someone to
Change me

And you make me feel so tall
I always want to be this tall
'Cause maybe I'll be original
And sometimes things you say
Just make me think in different ways
So this is my way of saying
I could be the one who's dragged home at night
Away from all my hopeless dreams
You and me will forge some future
Because we don't want to be waiting
For something right to go wrong
