Brightside Lyrics - The Knocks

I met a man of two feet tall 

This man was quite ambitious 

In a world that is so vicious to us all 

I said, "Hi," as he replied 

He said, "Listen to these words 

That I have lived by my whole life 

"You're only as tall as your heart will let you be 

And you're only as small as the world will make you seem 

When the going gets rough and you feel like you may fall 

Just look on the brightside - you're roughly six feet tall"

I met a man of 12 feet tall 

He towered like a giant 

In a world that was defiant of his height 

I said, "Hi," as he replied 

He said, "Listen to these words 

That I have dreaded my whole life 

"You're only as tall as your heart will let you be 

And you're only as small as the world will make you seem 

When the going gets rough and you feel like you may fall 

Just look on the brightside - you're roughly six feet tall." 

I am a man of six feet tall 

Just looking for some answers 

In a world that answers none of them at all 

I'll say, "Hi," but not reply 

To the letters that you write 

Because I found some peace of mind 

Cause I'm only as tall as my heart will let me be 

And I'm only as small as the world will make me seem 

When the going gets rough and I feel like I may fall 

I'll look on the brightside - I'm roughly six feet tall.
