Lyrics

Before the World Was Big

7: 45 in the morning
I'm leaving my house
Trying not to think
Of all the ways this place has changed

Walked around my neighborhood
One hundred, one million, billion, trillion times

Every crack on the sidewalk
Below my feet
Green, black and blue trashcans
Meet me after school

I just miss how it felt standing next to you
Wearing matching dresses before the world was big
I just miss how it felt standing next to you
Wearing matching dresses before the world was big

My brain's like a rolling snowball
I'm a firetruck
Trying not to think of all the ways
My mind has changed

Mom and dad I love you
Do I show it enough?

I just miss how it felt standing next to you
Wearing matching dresses before the world was big
I just miss how it felt standing next to you
Wearing matching dresses before the world was big
I just miss how it felt standing next to you
Wearing matching dresses before the world was big
I just miss how it felt standing next to you
Wearing matching dresses before the world was big
