Bigger Than My Body - John Mayor
This is a call to the colorblind
This is an IOU
Stranded behind a horizon line
Try to be something true
Yes, I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded by
All this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting
For my fuse to dry
Chorus:
Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be
Something much more
Cause I'm bigger than my body
Gives me credit for
Why is it not the time?
What is there more to learn?
I've shed this skin I've been tripping in
And I've never quite returned
Yes, I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded by
All this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting
For my fuse to dry
Chorus
Cause I'm bigger than my body now
Maybe I'll tangle in the power lines
And it might be over in a second's time
But I'll gladly go down in a flame
If the flame's what it takes to remember my name
To remember my name, oh
Yes, I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded by
All this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting
For my fuse to dry
Chorus
Cause I'm bigger than my body
Bigger than my body
Bigger than my body now
i'm glad that while i may be liMited sometimes, what you see is Not all you get, and i won't Always be this way. it helps to dampen the blows from life and school my temper.

That's sad! I feel that way a lot. This song seems to be saying "I can't seem to get my way in this world very well, let me make my mark somehow..."
i saw it as a hopeful song. i like it because it says that there's more than just what i am right now.
It also applies to vertically challenged people too, but yeah i agree with you Marcus
I agree with madame Terri.
