Big Ben

Don't you get too close

Make a mental note

That something's gonna give

If you wait this time out

A penny strikes the well

And sinks down to the bottom

With so much weight to bear

It's a quick fix, so don't you dare back down

Someone please explain

How days so plain

Became so fickle and dangerous

Have gathered an unsettling dust

Have beaten up the both of us

Think Big Ben, Big Ben

Don't go down that easy

A knock at your front door

You answer from the bed

Nobody comes in, nobody goes out

Mistakes you can't take back

The unforgiven move, if this can't be erased

You're left wondering about what might have been

Someone please explain

How days so plain

Became so fickle and dangerous

Have gathered an unsettling dust

Have beaten up the both of us

Think Big Ben, Big Ben

Don't go down that easy

She wants to know the truth

You want to hurt her less

And one day this will pass

And neither of you will even care
