It's Small Up Here Lyrics

Don't make me say the words

Drag them out of that place

We've not enough time to dust them off

And set them straight

Let me instead breathe a bit

Take it all in

The where you've placed your pen

The measured spaces between the between

It's small up here

This place full of big ideas

Eternity carved into memories

Of earthly dust glorified

I wanted to find a place

Where it was okay

I wanted to drop my bag

Not have to explain

To watch you in your watching

There in your place

To wait for you to square up

The mess I'd just made

It's small up here

This place full of big ideas

Eternity carved into memories

Of earthly dust glorified

I had hoped to squeeze into that corner

Beneath the sign

I had hoped to say the unsaid

Without saying

Fragmented thoughts, oh clumsy me

There was no need to make no apology

'Cause I know you know

Maybe I should go
