[Intro — cool electronic pulse, airy synths, conversational vocal] [VERSE 1 — relaxed, slightly amused] Walked in at seven, coffee in my hand Got a list of things I gotta get done today First thing on the list is sitting way up high I can see the box, but I can't touch the sky Standing on my toes like that's gonna help Stretching both arms, giving everything I've got One more inch, come on, just one more inch Nope... still looking up at it I check the aisle, I check the ends Maybe there's somebody I can send But all I see are boxes stacked And apparently, that's where my help is at [PRE-CHORUS — beat begins to build] I look left I look right Nobody tall in sight I look down I look around Nothing useful on the ground [CHORUS — cool electronic groove, playful frustration] I'm too short for this, I'm to— [PAUSE] Short. It's above my head, Hey, somebody? There has to be a taller person somewhere out on the floor, Where I can't see over the pallets. Somebody with a bit more reach, A bit more height, A bit more than just myself. I'm too short for this, I'm to— [PAUSE] Short. It's above my head, Hey, somebody? There has to be a taller person somewhere out on the floor, Where I can't see over the pallets. Somebody with a bit more reach, A bit more height, A bit more than just myself. [POST-CHORUS — synth hook] Too short... Too short... I'm too short for this. [VERSE 2 — more animated] Next thing I need is sitting way up high I swear they move the shelves another inch each night I find a broom, but it's not long enough I find a pallet, but that's not gonna cut it Where's the stool? There isn't one. Of course there isn't one. I hear somebody somewhere down the aisle But by the time I get there, they're already gone Now I'm standing underneath the thing I need Wondering if gravity's gonna work with me [PRE-CHORUS — building] I look left I look right Still nobody tall in sight I look down I look around How'd everything get so high? [CHORUS — bigger, more melodic] I'm too short for this, I'm to— [PAUSE] Short. It's above my head, Hey, somebody? There has to be a taller person somewhere out on the floor, Where I can't see over the pallets. Somebody with a bit more reach, A bit more height, A bit more than just myself. I'm too short for this, I'm to— [PAUSE] Short. It's above my head, Hey, somebody? There has to be a taller person somewhere out on the floor, Where I can't see over the pallets. Somebody with a bit more reach, A bit more height, A bit more than just myself. [BRIDGE — beat drops to soft synth pulse] I don't need a miracle I don't need a crane I don't need somebody To carry the whole thing away I just need somebody taller That's all I'm asking for Just enough to reach the thing I can't reach anymore [PAUSE] Wait... I think I see somebody. [Beat kicks back in] Never mind. They're short too. [FINAL CHORUS — full electronic production] I'm too short for this, I'm to— [PAUSE] SHORT! It's above my head, Hey, somebody?! There has to be a taller person somewhere out on the floor, Where I can't see over the pallets. Somebody with a bit more reach, A bit more height, A bit more than just myself. I'm too short for this, I'm to— [PAUSE] SHORT! It's above my head, Hey, somebody?! There has to be a taller person somewhere out on the floor, Where I can't see over the pallets. Somebody with a bit more reach, A bit more height, A bit more than just myself. [OUTRO — groove strips down] No stool... No pallet... No broom... [beat] And I know there's somebody taller than me around here. [beat] I just can't see them. [Final synth hit]
