about

When I Was Taller was written as a rebellion against failing confidence.

lyrics

When I stop finding work so fun,
I’ma come undone.
If I can’t sweat and earn respect,
Well, lord, I’ll never get none.
How am I supposed to reach my path,
Through all this ego and baggage.
They’re screamin’,
You’d best be ready to jump, when I say jump,
It’d be better to grow.

When I was taller,
I’d never let it alone, yeah,
I would fight,
Until my fingers,
Became bloodied bone,
I would die a man who spoke his mind.

Turn the radio down,
I’d belt out alone,
But now I’m small,
And I don’t make a sound,
I just inhale,
Confusion is all I have now.

Being blessed with friends so strong,
You’d think I’d stretch out tall.
All their shadows looming long,

Looks like the sky might fall.
How can I find happiness,
When being crushed by giant heads,
They’re laughing,
You’d best be ready to roll when I say roll,
It’d be better to grow.

When I was taller,
I’d never let it alone, yeah,
I would fight,
Until my fingers,
Became bloodied bone,
I would die a man who spoke his mind.

Turn the radio down,
I’d belt out alone,
But now I’m small,
And I don’t make a sound,
I just inhale,
Confusion is all I have now.

When I was taller,
I’d never let it alone,
But now I’m small,
And I don’t make a sound,
I just inhale,
Confusion is all I have now.
