Calvin Harris – “Giant” with Rag’n’Bone Man
“Giant” Lyrics
[Verse 1: Rag’n’Bone Man]
I understood loneliness
Before I knew what it was
I saw the pills on the table
For your unrequited love
I would be nothing
Without you holding me up
Now strong enough for both of us
Both of us, both of us, both of us
[Chorus: Rag’n’Bone Man]
I am a giant (Ooh)
Stand up on my shoulders, tell me what you see
‘Cause I am a giant (Ooh)
We’ll be breaking boulders, underneath our feet
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am a giant (Oh)
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am a giant (Oh)
[Verse 2: Rag’n’Bone Man]
Don’t hide your emotions
You can throw down your guard
And freed from the notion
We can be who we are
You taught me something, yeah
That freedom is ours
It was you who taught me living is
Togetherness, togetherness, togetherness
[Chorus: Rag’n’Bone Man]
I am a giant (Ooh)
Stand up on my shoulders, tell me what you see
‘Cause I am a giant (Ooh)
We’ll be breaking boulders, underneath our feet
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am a giant (Oh)
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am a giant (Oh)
[Bridge: Rag’n’Bone Man]
Oh, oh, oh, hey-oh, oh, oh, oh, hey-oh
Gonna shake, all the way, in the dirt, underneath, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, hey-oh, oh, oh, oh, hey-oh
Gonna shake, all the way, in the dirt, underneath, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, hey-oh, oh, oh, oh, hey-oh
Gonna shake, all the way, in the dirt, underneath, yeah, yeah
Gonna shake, all the way, in the dirt, underneath, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, hey-oh, oh, oh, oh, hey-oh
Gonna shake, all the way, in the dirt, underneath, yeah, yeah
Gonna shake, all the way, in the dirt, underneath
[Chorus: Rag’n’Bone Man]
(Ooh)
I am, I am, I am (Ooh)
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am a giant (Ooh)
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am a giant (Ooh)
