8 Feet Tall Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One step closer, nine steps back
You're treading water, you can't relax
Wake me up and feel me down
Everything comes back around
I feel it strong but I can't react

Scrape your feet along the rope
[?] to your toes
This blistered strength will show your youth
Eight feet tall and honorable
So drink the pain until you puke
I feel her watching, I feel her watching

[Chorus]
You're eight feet tall
Don't you dare look down
It's a long fall
From the top of your head
To the place where me met
Movement controlled
By the people you touched
And the things you regret

[Verse 2]
Play your cards until they're gone
Plead insane and play along
You're down 51 and you try to think quick
And you follow her home and it's making her sick Is this some f*cked idea of fun

Poor sweet child plays the fool
Sweet thing wants to stay in school
Those pills can't act as your excuse
There's nothing valid, it's abuse
So stop your preaching, there's no truth

[Chorus]
You're eight feet tall
Don't you dare look down
It's a long fall
From the top of your head
To the place where me met
Movement controlled
By the people you touched
And the things you regret

[Instrumental Break, Chorus]
You're eight feet tall
Don't you dare look back
It's a long fall
From the top of your head
To the place where me met
Movement controlled
By the people you touched
And the things you regret

[Outro]
You're eight feet tall
Don't ever say you were nine
