lyrics
I waited by my laptop for the tickets to come on sale
Now it’s 9 months later and the night is finally here
I’m standing in the mosh pit
3rd row from the front
To get this spot I didn’t even get a beer
Now the band's about to play
And the music’s faded down
And some dude who’s 8 feet tall
Has made his way through the crowd
And he’s standing right in front of me
I can’t see a single thing
His arm pit’s way too close to my face
I put my hands in the air so the band can see
Do they remember what it’s like to be in the crowd when you can’t see a thing?
Cos everyone’s who’s tall will stand
So near the front they block the band
So come on now, give us some flack
Tall people please stand further back
The opening song was awesome
And the four songs after that
But five songs in I’ve not seen Jaret’s face
Near me sat on shoulders there's a girl out with her boy
Maybe he would let me take her place?
Now the next song’s ‘bout to start
And the crowd have quietened down
And another guy who’s 8 feet tall
Has made his way through the crowd
And he’s standing right in front of me
I can’t see a single thing
His arm pit’s way too close to my face
I put my hands in the air so the band can see
Do they remember what it’s like to be in the crowd when you can’t see a thing?
Cos everyone’s who’s tall will stand
So near the front they block the band
So come on now, give us some flack
Tall people please stand further back
I saw Cody Carson when he climbed the speakers
I saw Frank Turner every time he jumped
I saw one of the beers from Zebrahead for 90 percent of their show
I saw a drumstick in the air
Fall Out Boy sing ‘I don’t care’
And the photo opportunity from Bowling for Soup
And that’s about it
Cos when the band’s about to play
And the music’s fading down
Some guy who’s 8 feet tall
Makes his way through the crowd
And he’s standing right in front of me
I can’t see a single thing
His arm pit’s way too close to my face
I put my hands in the air so the band can see
Do they remember what it’s like to be in the crowd when you can’t see a thing?
Cos everyone’s who’s tall will stand
So near the front they block the band
So come on now, give us some flack
Tall people please stand further back
Now it’s 9 months later and the night is finally here
I’m standing in the mosh pit
3rd row from the front
To get this spot I didn’t even get a beer

And the music’s faded down
And some dude who’s 8 feet tall

And he’s standing right in front of me
I can’t see a single thing
His arm pit’s way too close to my face
I put my hands in the air so the band can see
Do they remember what it’s like to be in the crowd when you can’t see a thing?
Cos everyone’s who’s tall will stand
