[Verse 1]
If I was not myself
And you were someone else
I’d say so much to you
And I would tell the truth
Cause I can hardly breathe
When your hands let go of me
The …
[Intro: Bilal]
Oh brother, hmm
It’s a mystery, yeah
Will you hear my cry?
Won’t you my plea, oh?
Cause I’ll never know (I’ll never know)
How it feels (how it feels)
How it feels (how it …
Would you ever run away with me?
Would you ever take a chance with me?
Would you ever take a leap with me?
Would you ever change the frequency?
Would you ever?
Would you ever?
Would …
It’s been a while since I thought about you
It’s been a while, have you thought about me too?
I’m meeting him at the place that we used to

If you want it like that you should show me
Uh, bring it back like you own me
If you want it like that you should show me
Uh, holla it’s like you …
I’m clumsy, yeah my head’s a mess1
Cause you got me growing taller everyday
We’re giants in a little man’s world2
My heart is pumping up so big that it could burst3
Been trying so hard not to let it show4
But you got me feeling like
I’m stepping on buildings, cars and boats
I swear I could touch the sky5
Ohhh ohh ohhh
I’m ten feet tall
Ohhh oh ohhhh
I’m ten feet tall6
I’ll be careful, so don’t be afraid7
You’re safe here, no, these arms won’t let you break8
I’ll put up a sign in the clouds
So they all know that we ain’t ever coming down9
Been trying so hard not to let it show
But you got me feeling like
I’m stepping on buildings, cars and boats
I swear I could touch the sky
Ohhh oh ohhh
I’m ten feet tall
Ohhh oh ohhhh
I’m ten feet tall
You build me up
Make me what I never was10
You build me up
From nothing into something11
Yeah, something from the dust12
Been trying so hard not to let it show
But you got me feeling like
I’m stepping on buildings, cars and boats
I swear I could touch the sky
Ohhh oh ohhh
I’m ten feet tall
Ohhh oh ohhhh
I’m ten feet tall

Afrojack opens “Ten Feet Tall” by describing himself as a confused and disorganized person.
Afrojack describes himself as a giant, imagining a world in which one’s love for another person determined his or her physical size.
“My heart is pumping up so big that it could burst” means that Afrojack is deeply in love.
“Been trying so hard not to let it show” means that Afrojack has been concealing his love deliberately.
Afrojack again describes his physical size as huge to metaphorically demonstrate the depths of his love.
By saying “I’m ten feet tall,” Afrojack is hinting that he is deeply in love.
Afrojack implores his beloved not to dodge the prospect of loving him.
“These arms won’t let you break” means that Afrojack is going to take good care of his beloved.
Afrojack is saying that their romance will last forever.
What Afrojack is trying to say in this line is that the power of love is extremely strong and can change one’s life.
“Nothing into something” is another way of saying “love defines who I am.”
In retrospect, Afrojack feels as though living life without being in love is empty.
This song is about the depths of Afrojack’s love for someone.
