Big City Dreams Songtext
von Never Shout Never

You say we′re both little people
And you like it that way
But in time I'm gonna put
This body to shame (and grow old)
Where a suit like my old man
Pack up all my things
And get my ass out of town

We′ve got it good
Whether you like this town or not
I know it's small but with a big head
It's bound to get hot
In the summer
But the summer is a bummer

If you can′t leave
This pathetic excuse for a town
That holds all your memories
A lifetime of crushes


And your broken dreams
To be anywhere but here
But baby anywhere
Is away from me

If you got it all figured out
Then what is there to shout about?
This midwest town is gonna miss you

Just go ahead and work it out
But first come on and let it out
Scream it, shout, tell everybody
That you′re gonna leave

In about one year
You'll have it all figured out
These big city dreams
Are what you′re about

Walking like strangers
Among these states
Only time will tell
How long I can wait


We've got it good
Whether you like this town or not
I know it′s small but with a big head
It's bound to get hot
In the summer
But the summer is a bummer

If you can′t leave
This pathetic excuse for a town
That holds all your memories
A lifetime of crushes

And your broken dreams
To be anywhere but here
But, baby, anywhere
Is away from me

If you got it all figured out
Then what is there to shout about?
This midwest town is gonna miss you

Just go ahead and work it out
But first come on and let it out
Scream it, shout, tell everybody
That you're gonna leave

Me again, oh, so casually
Did you take the hit for me
Or the home team?

If you got it all figured out
Then what is there to shout about
This midwest town is gonna miss you
