Ten Feet Tall

Recorded on July 9, 2020. Sharing a song tonight. An a cappella lyric called Ten Feet Tall.

Question of the night: what is one positive word you use to describe yourself?

Tonights hosts: the wonderful duo of Hanna and Transe

This is the video I was talking about uploading in a previous post. Idk what took so long.

Ps. Apologies for the random cracks in my voice. I didn’t give myself much time to practice or prepare before performing. Enjoy. 😂✌️

Pps. This is a great supportive group of people and it is a pleasure to do open mics with them. If you are interested in joining us, we get together every Thursday night on zoom. For more information visit here.

10 Feet Tall

Can fairytales really come true
Tell me Cinderella 
Whatever happened to you
You got your castle on the hill
And your passel of kids
The nice, neat little package
With your own Prince Charming too
So is he the man of your dreams
Your moon and your sun
Has he lived up to the hype
Is he really the one
Cause face it sweetie
You ain’t no sleeping beauty
At least her man did more
Like he slayed a dragon for her.

You’re telling me you’re 10 feet tall
Larger than life, above it all
Like it was your first time
And all it took was one look, one kiss, one touch
One dance, one smile, a heavy lidded glance
I can’t believe that anyway

Are happy endings really the norm
Cause my life feels like a movie
With a plot losing it’s form
I’m tired of all these one night stands
Slam bam thank you ma’ams
I’m looking for a prince in a sea of frogs
Still I put on my best Audrey
My favorite Monroe
I wear all these masks
As if it’s my last chance
I have to face it baby
I ain’t ever going to be a heroine
In a movie created by Disney

I want to be 10 feet tall , larger than life
Above it all, like it was my first time
All I need is that hook
One kiss, one touch, one look
One dance, a smile
A heavy lidded glance
I can be Cinderella for a day.

I want my dreams to come true
Hear the birds sing
Watch flowers bloom
In amazing Technicolor scheme
Can it last or will it pass
Is this another page in my book of days
 (don’t let it slip away)

I never knew it could be like this
I really don’t think fairytales exist
Then came you and I couldn’t miss
You swept me away
I wasn’t expecting fireworks
No one told me it was one of the perks
When one kiss can cause such bliss
Carrying me away
