Big Love

I've got problems rolling off of my fingertips
I've got the weight of the world left on both my lips
Stop tempting, tempting me, tempting tempting me
with your collarbones and church hall bangin' dance floor hips

You've got a turnaround smile like a turnstile
Build me up, tear me down, watch me burn for awhile
You're getting, getting me, getting getting me s-so easily
With irony and lyrical miles

Everybody takes a step towards the city
When they find out what they want,
But they know they'll never get it
I get what I want, but did I get what I needed?
A big love, yeah - that'd be enough

You say you're "history" - well baby, history sure misses me
I'm terribly concerned with the conception of you kissing me
You're talking, talking big, talking talking big
But we both know it's a terrible idea to be missed

So take me on down to the big towns
We'll dress like our dreams, like we know this sound
Cause you, and me, we're bringing us down,
We're making problems out of being around

Everybody takes a step towards the city
When they find out what they want,
But they know they'll never get it
I get what I want, but did I get what I needed?
Did I get what I needed?
What you needed was for me to believe

Everybody takes a step towards the city
When they find out what they want
But they know they'll never get it
I get what I want, but did I get what I needed?
