Ten Feet High
Unraveling Love's Height: Ten Feet High by Andrea Corr
Lyrics
You ask me all kinds of questions
You inquire about various matters
Like I, I've got something to hide
As if I have secrets to conceal
And I don't know why this all began
I'm uncertain why all of this started
You used to love me for freedom
Previously, you admired my freedom
Said you'd climb aboard and fly
You promised to join and soar together
Now we're on the ground, and I'm locked in
Now, we're grounded, and I feel confined
I don't want to lie
I don't want to be dishonest
Sayin' it's alright
Claiming everything is fine
Starin' at the walls 'round our lives
Observing the limitations surrounding our lives
And are Ten Feet High
We are metaphorically Ten Feet High
No, I'm not dumb
No, I'm not foolish
You don't need to smile
You don't have to pretend happiness
When you hurt inside
Even when you're in pain
I can see the doubt in your eyes
I perceive uncertainty in your gaze
And the fun we had is done
The enjoyable moments we shared are over
But I won't sit and watch you
But I won't passively witness you
Go cold when summer has left the room
Grow distant as warmth exits the scene
This curtain is closing
This chapter is concluding
I'm not stayin' to see the end
I won't linger to witness the conclusion
We said we'd never become this
We vowed to avoid reaching this point
And tell each other how to live
To refrain from dictating how to live
But now I know your high times aren't with me
Yet, now I realize your peak moments exclude me
We keep finding more ways
We discover more ways
To escape you and me
To escape the entanglement of us
Pretend you're asleep when you're lying awake
Pretending to be asleep while awake
I'm not gonna lie
I won't be deceitful
Say it's alright
Pretending everything is fine
Starin' at the walls 'round our lives
Gazing at the limitations around our lives
We were Ten Feet High
We were once metaphorically Ten Feet High
No, I'm not dumb
No, I'm not naive
You don't need to smile when you hurt inside
You don't have to feign joy when you're hurting inside
I can see the doubt in your eyes
I can perceive doubt in your eyes
And the sun we had is down
The sunshine we experienced is gone
But I don't want to
But I'm unwilling to
Say it's over when I still love you
Declare it's over when I still love you
Don't say it's over when I still love you
Don't pronounce it's over when I still love you
I won't let it go cold
I won't let warmth dissipate
When summer has left the room
Even after summer has departed
This curtain is closing
This chapter is concluding
I'm not stayin' to see the end
I won't stay to witness the ending
I won't watch it grow old
I won't witness it aging
When summer has left the room
After summer has departed
This curtain is closing
This chapter is concluding
I'm not stayin' to be the end
I won't stay to see the conclusion
Say it's over and I still love you
Declare it's over, and I still love you
Say it's over and I still love you
Assert it's over, and I still love you
