In a Big Country Songtext
von Dashboard Confessional

I've never seen you,
Look like this without a reason.
Another promise fallen through.
Another season passes by you.

I never took the smile,
Away from anybody's face.
And that's a desperate way,
To look for someone who is still a child.

In a big country,
Dreams stay with you,
Like a lover's voice,
Far as the mountainside,
Stay alive.

I thought that pain and truth,
Were things that really mattered,
But you can't stay here,
With every single hope you had shattered.


I'm not expecting,
To grow flowers in the desert,
But I can live and breathe,
And see the sun in wintertime.

In a big country,
Dreams stay with you,
Like a lover's voice,
Far as the mountainside,
Stay alive.

In a big country,
Dreams stay with you,
Like a lover's voice,
Far as the mountainside,
Stay alive.


So take that look out of here.
It doesn't fit you.
Because it's happened,
Doesn't mean you've been discarded.
Pull up your head off the floor.
Come up screaming.
Cry out for everything,
You ever might have wanted.
I thought that pain and truth,
Were things that really mattered,
But you can't stay here,
With every single hope you had shattered.

I'm not expecting,
To grow flowers in the desert,
But I can live and breathe,
And see the sun in wintertime.

In a big country,
Dreams stay with you,
Like a lover's voice,
Far as the mountainside,
Stay alive.

In a big country,
Dreams stay with you,
Like a lover's voice,
Far as the mountainside,
Stay alive.

In a big country,
Dreams stay with you,
Like a lover's voice,
Far as the mountainside,
Stay alive.
