Chris Sunfield - Ten Feet High Lyrics

We were young
Barely four feet high
You were bold and so precocious
And I was still so shy
Our Moms and Dads were playing Twister
You leaned in and then you whispered
Let's go to my treehouse
There outside
In the sky
We were alone
Far from chaperoned
Up a tree we climbed
Past our bedtime
To pleasures there unknown
The crickets sang, the air was misty
You leaned in and tried to kiss me
And I pulled back, surprised
My mind was blown
And turned to stone
I only knew that I wasn't ready
And I didn't go for Ronnie or Betty
We were young and all-told
We were ten years old
And ten feet high
You said something 'bout going steady
But you had Barbies and bears named Teddy
We were only so old
We were ten years old
And ten feet high
Ten years old
And ten feet high
Years flew by
We grew up and said goodbye
Different places, lives, and partners
But we kept up our ties
From time to time I thought and pondered
Did I make one tragic blunder
Could just one kiss so young have been the
Future of you and I
(But after all)
I only knew that I wasn't ready
And I didn't go for Ronnie or Betty
We were young and all-told
We were ten years old
And ten feet high
You said something 'bout going steady
But you had Barbies and bears named Teddy
We were only so old
We were ten years old
And ten feet high
Ten years old
And ten feet high
The word came that your Mom was gone
So I found my way back home
To pay my respects
I didn't expect
Our eyes to connect
In a way that reflected
Some night when we were ten
How does that happen again?
An empty house, a bottle of wine
"You've done well", "And you still look fine"
Let's go to my treehouse there outside
One last time
I only knew that I wasn't ready
And I didn't go for Ronnie or Betty
We were young and all-told
We were ten years old
And ten feet high
We got older and complicated
Making a simple kiss seem dated
But we were never too old
To have and hold
At ten feet high
We finally tried at ten feet high
We said goodbye at ten feet high
