Flicking embers into daffodils
You didn’t plan to tell me how you feel
You laugh about it like it’s no big deal
Crush the fire underneath your heel
I’m surprised that you’re the one who said it first
If you had waited a few years, I would have burst
Everything comes up to the surface in the end
Even the things we’d rather leave unspoken
And we both know that it would never work
You’ve got your girl, you’re gonna marry her
And I’ll be watching in a pinstripe suit
Sincerely happy for the both of you
So what changes, if anything?
Maybe everything can stay the same
But if we never talk about it again
There’s something I want you to understand
You’re a big deal
You’re a big deal
You’re a big deal
You’re a big deal
You knew when you caught me reading at your show
I knew when you came to visit in the cold
We could have done something that we’d come to regret
Do you remember? You say, “How could I forget?”
And we both know that it would never work
You’ve got your girl, you’re gonna marry her
And I’ll be watching in a pinstripe suit
Not even wishing it was me and you
So what changes, if anything?
Maybe everything can stay the same
But if we never talk about it again
There’s something I want you to understand
You’re a big deal
You’re a big deal
You’re a big deal
You’re a big deal
You’re a big deal
You’re a big deal
You’re a big deal
You’re a big deal

What if we don’t touch? What if we only talk About what we want and cannot have? And I’ll throw a fit If it’s all I can do If it’s the thought …
Best Guess
Clasping your necklace Zipping your dress Hands on your waist Kissing your neck I love your body I love your mind They will change So will mine But you are My best guess …

Bullseye
Heard you got a job as a mailman I heard you’re playing around in a couple bands Wish I could come to the show, but I understand Can’t just walk in like any …
Come Out
I missed your call because I was in a boardroom Full of old men guessing what the kids are getting into There was a cardboard cutout of a cowboy in the corner Pointing …
