The Tallest In The Room
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can't place when I last saw you
But you were the tallest in the room
Looked like you needed help in San Francisco
Never called to check on you
Thought it would be weird
After all of these years
But now you're gone and I'm restless
Remembering Baltimore
Smoking a White Owl
Walking to midnight breakfast
You were the tallest in the room
You made all of us feel cool
I can't place when I last saw you
And that really breaks my heart
Never really know where old friends go
Where time and distance drives apart
Thought it would be weird
After all of these years
But now you're gone and it's hard
Remembering Rockville
Getting a refill
In somebody's parent's backyard
You were the tallest in the room
You made all of us feel cool
