Lyrics On the Brightside - Never Shout Never

On the Brightside

I met a man of two feet tall
This man was quite ambitious
In a world that is so vicious to us all
I said, «Hi,"as he replied
He said, «Listen to these words
That I have lived by my whole life
«You're only as tall as your heart will let you be
And you’re only as small as the world will make you seem
When the going gets rough and you feel like you may fall
Just look on the brightside — you’re roughly six feet tall»
I met a man of 12 feet tall
He towered like a giant
In a world that was defiant of his height
I said, «Hi,"as he replied
He said, «Listen to these words
That I have dreaded my whole life
«You're only as tall as your heart will let you be
And you’re only as small as the world will make you seem
When the going gets rough and you feel like you may fall
Just look on the brightside — you’re roughly six feet tall.»
I am a man of six feet tall
Just looking for some answers
In a world that answers none of them at all
I’ll say, «Hi,"but not reply
To the letters that you write
Because I found some peace of mind
Cause I’m only as tall as my heart will let me be
And I’m only as small as the world will make me seem
When the going gets rough and I feel like I may fall
I’ll look on the brightside — I’m roughly six feet tall.
