The Big One

Come take my hand

Come walk again with me

In my dream of love

The stars above

But dreams will fade

And all the plans we made

Will go up in flame

All in vain

Now every story has an end

And we can't go on pretending like we used to

(Used to)

And I should go off by myself

To preserve my mental health but I don't choose to

(I might lose you)

'Cause I'm waiting for the big one

I'm waiting for the ground to start to shake

I'm waiting for the big one

When the walls start to crumble and love comes a tumblin'

Down, down, down

I never knew

I never saw the writing

On the crumbling wall

We had it all

Well, I've done the best I can

Built you castles in the sand just to keep you

(Keep you)

But the tide's coming in

And I'll sink if I don't swim but I can't leave you

(I won't leave you)

'Cause I'm waiting for the big one

I'm waiting for the walls to start to shake

I'm waiting for the big one

When my heart starts to break and the earth starts to quake

Waiting for the big one

They built this house of love on shaky ground

I'm waiting for the big one

When the walls start to crumble and love comes a tumblin'

Down, down, down, down

And all this time

I thought the world would turn

And the sun would shine

You'd be mine, all mine

But I can't find a trace

Of the love in your face that I'm used to

(Used to)

You don't need me anymore

And I can walk right out that door if I choose to

(But I don't choose to)

'Cause I'm waiting for the big one

I'm waiting for the walls to start to shake

I'm waiting for the big one

When my heart starts to break and the earth starts to quake

Waiting for the big one

They built this house of love on shaky ground

I'm waiting for the big one

When the walls start to crumble and love comes a tumblin'

Down, down, down, down

I'm waiting for the big one

I'm waiting for the big one

I'm waiting for the big one
