Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Big brown eyes and a gust of wind
And the cherry burns the corner of the page that says
The end is comin' soon, not soon enough
Restring all your guitars, pack up all your stuff
[Verse 2]
'Cause if Robert's dad is right
We might not make it through the night
And I'd hate to go alone
Oh, please pick up the phone
[Verse 3]
Well a box of red and a pill or three
And I'm callin' time and temperature just for some company
I wish you were here, I wish I was too
But I'll drink myself till sleeplessness, I always do
[Verse 4]
You don't want me here anymore
Since fame and fortune broke down our door
Well, you don't give me no respect
What did I expect?
[Verse 5]
And if that phone don't ring one more time
Well, I'm gonna lose what's left of my mind
Yeah, you made a big impression for a girl your size
Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes
Yeah, your big brown eyes
Yeah, your big brown eyes
[Verse 6]
Her hands are cold, her breath is warm
She's a port in a storm
And I'm worried now but it won't be long
Well, it takes a worried man, you know, to sing a worried song
[Verse 7]
And I got issues, yeah
Like I miss you, yeah
And I wish I weren't so thick
I'm makin' myself sick
[Verse 8]
And if that phone don't ring one more time
Well, I'm gonna lose what's left of my mind
Yeah, you made a big impression for a girl your size
Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes
Yeah, your big brown eyes
Yeah, your big brown eyes
Yeah, your big brown eyes
