Big Ben

(album: The Break-In - 2007)

Don't you get too close
Make a mental note
That something's gonna give
If you wait this time out
A penny strikes the well
And sinks down to the bottom
With so much weight to bear
It's a quick fix so don't you dare back down

Someone please explain
Just how days so plain
They became so fickle and dangerous
They have gathered an unsettling dust
They have beaten up the both of us
Think Big Ben, think Big Ben
Don't go down that easy

A knock at your front door
You answer from the bed
Nobody comes in
And nobody goes out, no
Mistakes you can't take back
The unforgiven move
If this can't be erased
You're left wondering about what might have been

Someone please explain
Just how days so plain
They became so fickle and dangerous
They have gathered an unsettling dust
They have beaten up the both of us
Think Big Ben, think Big Ben
Don't go down that easy, no no no
Don't go down

She wants to know the truth
And you want to hurt her less
And time will pass
And neither of you will even care

Someone please explain
Just how days so plain
They became so fickle and dangerous
They have gathered an unsettling dust
They have beaten up the both of us
Think Big Ben, think Big Ben
Don't go down, don't go down that easy
Think Big Ben, think Big Ben
Don't go down, don't go down that easy
Think Big Ben, think Big Ben
Don't go down that easy
