The Big One Lyrics - Curtis Stigers

Come take my hand 

Come walk again with me 

In my dream of love 

The stars above 

But dreams will fade 

And all the plans we made 

Will go up in flame 

All in vain 

Now every story has an end 

And we can't go on pretending like we used to 

(Used to) 

And I should go off by myself 

To preserve my mental health but I don't choose to 

(I might lose you) 

'Cause I'm waiting for the big one 

I'm waiting for the ground to start to shake 

I'm waiting for the big one 

When the walls start to crumble and love comes a tumblin' 

Down, down, down 

I never knew 

I never saw the writing 

On the crumbling wall 

We had it all 

Well, I've done the best I can 

Built you castles in the sand just to keep you 

(Keep you) 

But the tide's coming in 

And I'll sink if I don't swim but I can't leave you 

(I won't leave you) 

'Cause I'm waiting for the big one 

I'm waiting for the walls to start to shake 

I'm waiting for the big one 

When my heart starts to break and the earth starts to quake 

Waiting for the big one 

They built this house of love on shaky ground 

I'm waiting for the big one 

When the walls start to crumble and love comes a tumblin' 

Down, down, down, down 

And all this time 

I thought the world would turn 

And the sun would shine 

You'd be mine, all mine 

But I can't find a trace 

Of the love in your face that I'm used to 

(Used to) 

You don't need me anymore 

And I can walk right out that door if I choose to 

(But I don't choose to) 

'Cause I'm waiting for the big one 

I'm waiting for the walls to start to shake 

I'm waiting for the big one 

When my heart starts to break and the earth starts to quake 

Waiting for the big one 

They built this house of love on shaky ground 

I'm waiting for the big one 

When the walls start to crumble and love comes a tumblin' 

Down, down, down, down 

I'm waiting for the big one 

I'm waiting for the big one 

I'm waiting for the big one
