Taller Lyrics

I realize there's somethin' in you missin' in me
Now we are tryin' to fight the fight more eloquently
Now you are bending beautifully toward the bright light
So please let me take you through this glorious night

So I don't measure up, I was sober and furious
Playin' out my life
So hand me a rope, will I climb, will I choke
Till I make the stars align?

I wish I was taller
I wish I was wiser
So can I stand next to you?
So can I stand next to you?
So can I stand next to you?
So can I stand next to you?

Face it, we don't belong in the traditional sense
We, we know we're as solid as a sky-high fence
To be loved in the arms of a glorious life
With your body as my shrine

I'll be happy to drown when we're both lying down
I'll commune with the divine

I wish I was taller
I wish I was wiser
I wish I was taller
I wish I was wiser
So can I stand next to you?
So can I stand next to you?
So can I stand next to you?
I just wanted to be next to you
Ooh, I just wanted to be next to you
Can I stand, so can I stand?
I just wanted to be next to you, oh
I just wanted to be next to you
I just wanted to be next to you
