Tall! – Abby Cates

You were so tall
I can never reach
The shape of your mouth
So you laughed and bent down
Bent down to me
And I loved your voice
The way it moved melodically
It’s like I had no choice
I just had to be close to your energy

And you slipped away
Right in front of my face

I was caught up in a line
Caught up with the liar
Ignoring every sign
They were growing like a fire
Wish that I could call you now
Wish that I could call you now
Cause when you’re just a kid you don’t know what’s good for you
I wish I had forgotten him, cause you know I adore you
Wish that I could call you now
Wish that I could call you now

Cause I’m only 5’2
But when I was with you
I was so tall

Out of the blue
Thought I heard your name
I wonder if you ever think of me too
Cause you’re in my brain
And you call me up
Kind of carsick
And we were never in love, we always fucked that up
But we were on to something

If I could turn back time
You know I’d change my mind

When I was caught up in a line
Caught up with the liar
Ignoring every sign
They were growing like a fire
Wish that I could call you now
Wish that I could call you now
Cause when you’re 17 you don’t know what’s good for you
I wish I had forgotten him, cause you know I adore you
Wish that I could call you now
Wish that I could call you now

Cause I’m only 5’2
But when I was with you
I was so tall

When I was caught up in a line
Caught up with the liar
Ignoring every sign
They were growing like a fire
Wish that I could call you now
Wish that I could call you now
