Lyrics

The Big One

Do you remember
The way things used to be?
Our lives untainted by memory
And we laughed, and we cried, and we played, and we fought
And never stopped to think
Oh never stopped to think

That this could be
(This could be the big one)
Oh this could be the big one

Oh this could be
(This could be the big one)
Oh this could be the big one

Explain just how we came to part
I never really wanted to

And now we flounder
In the wake of those days
We wish we'd never found out each other's ways
And we laugh, and we flirt and we cry, and make love
Could it be the same?
How could it be the same?

Oh this could be
(This could be the big one)
This could be the big one

Oh this could be
(This could be the big one)
This could be the big one

Oh tell me how we came to part
I never really wanted to
Never wanted to

Oh tell me how we came to part
I never really wanted to
Oh this could

Oh this could be
(This could be the big one)
Oh this could be the big one

Oh this could be
(This could be the big one)
This could be the big one

This could be (This could be the big one)
The big, big, big, big, big one (This could be)

Oh this could be
(This could be the big one)
Oh this could be the big one

(This could be the big one)
This could be the big one
This could be
(This could be the big one)
This could be the big one
