That Tall
Tall Boys and Broken Walls: Unveiling the Heart's Fortress in Josh Gallagher's 'That Tall'
Lyrics
There’s a lady alone
Describes a woman alone
With her face in her phone
Engrossed in her phone
At the bar so you buy her a beer
Offering to buy her a drink at the bar
Round after round
Repeatedly buying drinks
Words are slurring now
Speech becoming unclear due to intoxication
Her talkings buzzed but her thinking is clear
Despite intoxication, she is mentally clear
She’ll let you make her smile
She responds positively to efforts to make her smile
Maybe spark her fire
Possibility of igniting her passion
But if you try to make her fall
Warns against trying to make her fall in love
They don’t make long shots that long
Long shots at love are unlikely to succeed
They don’t make strong arms that strong
Strong arms are insufficient to break down her emotional barriers
To make her heart fall when its locked up and walled off
Her heart is guarded and protected
They don’t make tall boys that tall
Tall boys are not enough to win her over
Any good upstanding man
A good man might have had a chance before her heartbreak
Surely would’ve stood a chance
Implication that the man who hurt her missed an opportunity
With the girl she was before he broke her bad
Reflecting on her past self before the heartbreak
And she took her heart of gold
She protected her loving nature
Surrounded it with stone
Fortified it with emotional walls
And latched the bolt
Secured and guarded her heart
Don’t think you’re breakin' that
Emphasizes the difficulty of breaking through her defenses
They don’t make long shots that long
Reiteration of the challenge of long shots at love
They don’t make strong arms that strong
Emphasis on the strength required to breach her emotional walls
To make her heart fall when its locked up and walled off
Her heart won't easily fall for someone
They don’t make tall boys that tall
Tall boys are not the key to winning her affection
Hell a hundred thousand ounce can up to the clouds
A significant challenge to impact her emotionally
Might knock her down but she ain’t gonna fall
She may stumble but won't succumb to emotional vulnerability
They don’t make long shots that long
Reiteration of the theme of unlikely romantic success
They don’t make strong arms that strong
Strength alone is not enough to break her emotional barriers
To make her heart fall when its locked up and walled off
Highlighting the challenge of making her heart fall for someone
They don’t make tall boys that tall
Reiterating that tall boys are not the solution to winning her love
No they don’t make tall boys that tall
Final confirmation that tall boys cannot win her over
