I am so small
have been and always will
but you found a way
to make me smaller still
guess it’s a talent
I don’t possess
must be a talent
I guess
So I will fall on my knees
and you will fall on your feet
then I will fall at your feet, too
and all of this falling
leaves you standing tall
but always leaves me lower than you
always leaves me lower than you
Brought me so low
looked like a demolition
another floor to go
just when I thought I’d hit it
but bottom is farther
than I ever knew
and here I am so
much lower than you.
So I will fall on my knees
and you will fall on your feet
then I will fall at your feet, too
and all of this falling
leaves you standing tall
but always leaves me lower than you
always leaves me lower than you
You are so small
hidden in all that stature
I’m sick of it all
none of it even matters
‘Cause I’m growing faster
now that we’re through
and one day I’ll be looking
right down at you.
So I will get up off my knees
and you can fall where you please
because I’ve got better things to do
And all of this falling leaves you standing tall
but I could never be lower than you
I could never be lower than you.
