Big Deal

Flicking embers into daffodils

You didn't plan to tell me how you feel

You laugh about it like it's no big deal

Crush the fire underneath your heel

I'm surprised that you're the one who said it first

If you had waited a few years, I would have burst

Everything comes up to the surface in the end

Even the things we'd rather leave unspoken

And we both know that it would never work

You've got your girl, you're gonna marry her

And I'll be watching in a pinstripe suit

Sincerely happy for the both of you

So what changes, if anything?

Maybe everything can stay the same

But if we never talk about it again

There's something I want you to understand

You're a big deal

You're a big deal

You're a big deal

You're a big deal

You knew when you caught me reading at your show

I knew when you came to visit in the cold

We could have done something that we'd come to regret

Do you remember? You say, "How could I forget?"

And we both know that it would never work

You've got your girl, you're gonna marry her

And I'll be watching in a pinstripe suit

Not even wishing it was me and you

So what changes, if anything?

Maybe everything can stay the same

But if we never talk about it again

There's something I want you to understand

You're a big deal

You're a big deal

You're a big deal

You're a big deal

You're a big deal

You're a big deal

You're a big deal

You're a big deal
