The Next Big Thing

(album: Critically Ashamed - 2006)

You're the next big thing
The next big thing
They're gonna wanna shake your hand
And take a picture with your band
Everyone will shut their mouths
'cause they wanna hear you out
And they're gonna know your name
'cause your the next...

There's no way of knowing just where you were going
I'll take you for every last second and moment
"So pleased to meet you", is how they will greet you
While they're looking over your shoulder
I've seen all the faces; been millions of place
It's taken a lot not to lose all my patience
For every good thing comes a whole lot of heartache
I've tried hard to learn from all of my mistakes

Hold me back because I lose my control
And you can say goodbye to all the days of old

You're the next big thing
The next big thing
They're gonna wanna shake your hand
And take a picture with your band
Everyone will shut their mouths
'cause they wanna hear you out
And they're gonna know your name
'cause your the next big thing

Everybody put your hands up
Uh huh
Now here you are
With few more friends and a nicer car
But do you really know what the meaning of life is?

You've got the gift to make a wish
Will you ever give in to it to make a difference?
Now the kids that come to your shows
See your face everywhere you go

There's no way of knowing just where you were going
I'll take you for every last second and moment
"So pleased to meet you", is how they will greet you
While they're looking over your shoulder
I've seen all the faces; been millions of place
It's taken a lot not to lose all my patience
For every good thing comes a whole lot of heartache
I've tried hard to learn from all of my mistakes

Hold me back because I lose my control
And you can say goodbye to all the days of old

'Cause you're the next big thing
The next big thing
They're gonna wanna shake your hand
And take a picture with your band
Everyone will shut their mouths
'cause they wanna hear you out
And they're gonna know your name
'cause your the next big thing

'Cause you're the next big thing
The next big thing
They're gonna wanna shake your hand
And take a picture with your band
Everyone will shut their mouths
'cause they wanna hear you out
And they're gonna know your name
'cause your the next big thing
