When You're Small

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.

When you're big

And troubles seem so far

You put your belly up to the bar

Squint your eyes

You can almost miss the dirt

You tell yourself

It couldn't hurt

But when you're small

You can't walk down the hall

When you're small

You're not very big at all

When you're low

You reach a certain point

Where you can't really see the point

You can try

But you can't see eye to eye

Yeah when you're low

Then you really know

But when you're high

It's easier to fight

When you're high

You don't have to know why

When you're small

You don't have very far to fall

When you're small

You feel like you belong

When you're small

You can curl into a ball

When you're small

No, you're not very big at all
