Lyrics
My genes have pre determined that there isn’t much I’ll grow
And no pair of jeans have fit me, they all sit too high and scrunch too low
Got a kid-like face I don’t outgrow
And I still sit at the kids table
They tell me I’m cute but I see through their lies
Any male attention is from 12 year old guys
(Or pedophiles)
‘Cause when you’re five feet tall, there are problems I know
That when I walk with my friends I gotta sprint like Usain Bolt
And when you’re five feet tall, life can be so cruel
All I wanted was to swim but I’d drown in the kiddie pool
The first row of any concert should be reserved customarily
For any one of us with a vertical disability
Crowds are their own hell generally
I get shoved in every armpit and I catch every sneeze
How’s the weather down there? “Bro, you stepped on me!”
I feel like Simba in the wildebeest stampede
When you’re five feet tall, people often address
How freaking lucky they are to have a dang good armrest
And when you’re five feet tall, it’s evident
That when you’re always overlooked, you gotta feign confidence
'Cause though she be little, she’s not fierce
She’s scared and insecure and weird
But when she looks up at the stars
Dreams fill her heart
And it’s a shame that she can’t reach that far
And standing up as tall as I could with my might
I can’t see my problems when I’m only five feet high
'Cause when you’re five feet tall, the unfortunate fact is
That you’re about six inches under the national average
But when you’re five feet tall, just know that it’s true
How the worst thing about you is that there isn’t more of you
