Jamie Cullum - Taller Lyrics

I realize there's something in you missing in me
Now we are trying 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
Playing out my life
So hand me a rope, will I climb, will I choke
'Til 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? Oh-oh

Face it, we don't belong in the traditional sense
We, we know we're as solid as a sky-high fence

To be loved in the arms of a glorious life
With your body as my shrine
I'll be happy to drum when we're both lying down
I'll 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, oh, oh
I just wanted to be next to you
I just wanted to be next to you
