lyrics

I don't care if you hang yourself
or choke on all this noise
I don't care what you think your right is
or how you made this choice
And if it takes the edge off your fun to be upfront
then go ahead and lie
But in the big big big big picture
It better fly

Cause you're already past the point
where you care what this does to me
You keep adding up one and one
and coming up with three
Well I think your little affair
happened awfully fast
But in the big big big big picture
It better last

Gotta do
wanna do
Nobody can talk to you
Super cool, nobody's fool
Bitch about, then bend the rules
Forget about how it makes me feel
But in the big big big big picture
It better be real

Cause when somebody leaves or dies
or turns your life around otherwise
you get to looking at the whole thing
grabbing at what you think it might mean
But when you're catching that new thrill
everything's a blur
in the big big big big picture

There's a larger view
and a larger you
and it matters what
matters what you do
There's a steeper climb and much less time
So take a risk, open up your eyes
Forget about how it makes you feel
But in the big big big big picture
It better be real

In the big big big big
big big big big picture
