더 키가크고 싶어 vs. 더 키가카지고 싶어 I kinda don’t understand the usage of -지다 when it comes to the future tense.

I will be taller someday- is there really a difference when using just the regular future tense and 지다?

~가 가지고 싶어. noun~가 가지고 싶어. Yea. its easy to get it. but you say "키가 가지고 싶어." when you really want to mean "i want to grow my height more." its very awkward. it sounds like this "I would like to have got height."?? do you want have a key? what mean?
