Tallest Man on Earth
Woke up in my father's shadow
Face down in the dirt
Covered in my own shame
He seemed the tallest man on earth
Always drunk on my mother's comfort
A disappointment to his name
We never could understand
We were just too much the same
He seemed the tallest man on earth
The tallest man on earth
When I was just a young man
Trying not to fall
The only thing that seemed to matter
Was growing up and being tall
Growing tall brings great things
Like seeing past the trees
But you can't hear the whispers
With your head up in the breeze
He seemed the tallest man on earth
The tallest man on earth
His heart died alone they say
Running against a wall
He never could comprehend
Life wasn't about being tall
It wasn't about being tall
He seemed the tallest man on earth
The tallest man on earth
The smallest man on earth
Face down in the dirt
Covered in my own shame
He seemed the tallest man on earth
Always drunk on my mother's comfort
A disappointment to his name
We never could understand
We were just too much the same
He seemed the tallest man on earth
The tallest man on earth
When I was just a young man
Trying not to fall
The only thing that seemed to matter
Was growing up and being tall
Growing tall brings great things
Like seeing past the trees
But you can't hear the whispers
With your head up in the breeze
He seemed the tallest man on earth
The tallest man on earth
His heart died alone they say
Running against a wall
He never could comprehend
Life wasn't about being tall
It wasn't about being tall
He seemed the tallest man on earth
The tallest man on earth
The smallest man on earth
