Lyrics The Milk Carton Kids

The Milk Carton Kids

Big Time

I've lowered my glass to the table

I've fashioned this smile from a dream

The stars overhead bear their meaning

With the weight of the sky, or so it seems

Speak to the voices imagined

In stories you sing from afar

The tiniest voices resound from

From the murmur, the trace, and the scars

Sometimes the thread comes bear

Sometimes I look for me to find you there

This'll be the last time

I'm gonna walk the straight line

This'll be the last time

I'm 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

Cast out this bad land with witness

Like smoke from a railroad in plume

Stone crumbled soft 'neath the bedside

In colors the earth left to ruin

Speak with a trace owed to tempests

Of grace so unkind, I don't dare

Your mind shows the power, the proof, that

That judgement's a spectre, a prayer

Sometimes the thread comes bear

Sometimes I look for me to find you there

This'll be the last time

I'm gonna walk the straight line

This'll be the last time

I'm 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

The weight of your mind holds to capture

Closing your eyes holds the key

Imagine a world that's living

Imagine an air you can breathe

So I raise up my glass to the sky now

I've lowered the lights to a purr

I weep at the sight of your virtue

To ward off the demons for sure

Sometimes the thread comes bear

Sometimes I look for me to find you there

This'll be the last time

I'm gonna walk the straight line

This'll be the last time

I'm 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

Big time

Oh now, we're gonna have a big time

We're gonna have a big time
