Big Deal

It wasn’t quite the story she had hoped for herself

Hers had a different ending but it must have been about someone else

There was a time well spent, there was a time well wasted

She never loved him then and it was time to face it

And she knows, everything will change

Cause one day it was a red striped blouse

And the next a wedding dress

A big deal, high heels tripping over herself

And you know nobody’s impressed

Staring into space trying to feel alive

He’s barely out of school already with a dead end nine to five

Shouldn’t he be happy, she’s waiting at home

She keeps on calling, he turns off his PHONE

And she knows, everything will change

Cause one day it was a red striped blouse

And the next a wedding dress

A big deal, high heels tripping over herself

And you know nobody’s impressed

Ever since she read the note on the wall

Saying “Honey, I’ll be leaving tonight”

She’s sleeping with her eyes wide open

Her body trembles with sickly notions

She hopes everything’ll change

Cause one day it was a red striped blouse

And the next a wedding dress

A big deal, high heels tripping over herself

And you know nobody’s impressed
