When you're big
And troubles seem so far
You put your belly up to the bar
Squint your eyes
You can almost miss the dirt
You tell yourself
It couldn't hurt
[Chorus]
But when you're small
You can't walk down the hall
When you're small
You're not very big at all
[Verse 2]
When you're low
You reach a certain point
Where you can't really see the point
You can try
But, you can't see eye to eye
Yet when you're low then you really know
[Bridge]
When you're high
It's easier to fight
When you're high
You don't have to know why
[Chorus]
When you're small
You don't have very far to fall
When you're small
You feel like you belong
When you're small
You can curl into a ball
When you're small
No, you're not very big at all
[Verse 1] When you're big And troubles seem so far You put your belly up to the bar Squint your eyes You can almost miss the dirt You tell yourself It couldn't hurt [Chorus] But when you're small You can't walk down the hall When you're small You're not very big at all [Verse 2] When you're low You reach a certain point Where you can't really see the point You can try But, you can't see eye to eye Yet when you're low then you really know [Bridge] When you're high It's easier to fight When you're high You don't have to know why [Chorus] When you're small You don't have very far to fall When you're small You feel like you belong When you're small You can curl into a ball When you're small No, you're not very big at all Explain Request ×
