lyrics

Being the height that I am I can see things
I can see things much clearer than you
Stand on a chair then if you don't believe me
See from above what a much better view

Being the height that I am I can see over buildings
Being the height that I am I can see over trees
And mountains

Being the fit that I am I can get to
Places that people of your size can't see
It gives me a great many, great many options
And a huge sense of authority
Being the height that you are you can get to
All different places of a different size
Take it from me if you hadn't of been there
I'd have awoken with two swollen eyes

Being the height that I am I can see every angle
Being the height that you are you can see the degrees

Well I'm tired of turning around when I'm always looking down
Let us settle out the difference underneath the olive tree
Underneath the olive tree
Underneath the olive tree

I'm looking around but there's nobody there when-
I'm tapped on the shoulder or nudged by the hand
You look up from under pulling my jumper
Sorry my love it's the height that I am

Being the height that I am I'm a block with a story
Being the height that you are you can look under me

Well I'm tired of turning around when I'm always looking down
Let us settle out the difference underneath the olive tree
Underneath the olive tree
Underneath the olive tree
