I realize there's somethin' in you missin' in me

Now we are tryin' to fight the fight more elegantly

Now you are bending beautifully toward the bright light

So please let me take you through this glorious night.

So I don't measure up, I was sober and furious

Playin' out my lie

So hand me a rope, will I climb, will I choke

Till I make the stars align?

I wish I was taller

I wish I was wiser

So can I stand next to you?

So can I stand next to you?

So can I stand next to you?

So can I stand next to you?

They say, we don't belong in a traditional sense

But we, we know we're as solid as a sky-high fence.

To be locked in the arms of a glorious life

With your body as my shrine

I'll be happy to drown when we're both lying down

And commune with the divine.

I wish I was taller

I wish I was wiser

I wish I was taller

I wish I was wiser

So can I stand next to you?

So can I stand next to you?

So can I stand next to you?

I just wanted to be next to you

Ooh, I just wanted to be next to you

Can I stand, so can I stand?

I just wanted to be next to you, oh...

I just wanted to be next to you

I just wanted to be next to you.
