The Milk Carton Kids – Big Time lyrics

[Verse 1]
I lowered my glass to the table
I fashion this smile from a dream
The stars overhead bear their meaning
With the weight of the sky, or so it seems

[Verse 2]
Speak to the voices imagined
In stories you sing from afar
The tiniest voices resound from
From the murmur of the trace and the scars

[Chorus]
Sometimes the threat comes back
Sometimes I look for me to find you there
This'll be the last time
I'm gonna walk a straight line
This'll be the last time
Gonna be my last crime
This'll be the last time
This'll be the last time
But we're gonna have a big time
Yeah, we're gonna have a big time

[Verse 3]
Cast out this bail and with witness
Like smoke from a railroad in Plume
Stone crumbled soft 'neath the bedside
In colors the earth left to ruin

[Verse 4]
Speak with a trace owed to tempest
Of a grace so unkind I don't dare
You mind shows the power of proof that
That judgement's a specter in prayer

[Chorus]
Sometimes the threat comes back
Sometimes I look for me to find you there
This'll be the last time
I'm gonna walk a straight line
This'll be the last time
Gonna be my last crime
This'll be the last time
This'll be the last time
But we're gonna have a big time
Yeah, we're gonna have a big time

[Verse 5]
The weight of your mind holds to capture
Closin' your eyes holds the key
Imagine a world that's livin'
Imagine an air you can breath

[Verse 6]
So I raise up my glass to the sky now
I lower the lights to a purr
I weep at the sight of your virtue
To ward off the demons for sure

[Chorus]
Sometimes the threat comes back
Sometimes I look for me to find you there
This'll be the last time
I'm gonna walk a straight line
This'll be the last time
Gonna be my last crime
This'll be the last time
This'll be the last time
But we're gonna have a big time
Yeah, we're gonna have a big time
Oh now, we're gonna have a big time
We're gonna have a big time
