The Next Big Thing

You're the next big thing
The next big thing
They're gonna wanna shake your hand
and take a picture with your band
Everyone will shut their mouths
'cause they wanna hear you out
And they're gonna know your name
'cause you're the next...
There's no way of knowing
just where you were going
I'll take you for every last second and moment
"I'm so pleased to meet you,"
is how they will greet you
while they're looking over your shoulder
I've seen all the faces; been millions of places
It's taken a lot not to lose all my patience
For every good thing comes a whole lot of heartache
I'm trying hard to learn from all of my mistakes
Hold me back
because I lose control
and you can say goodbye
to the days of old
You're the next big thing
The next big thing
They're gonna wanna shake your hand
and take a picture with your band
Everyone will shut their mouths
'cause they wanna hear you out
And they're gonna know your name
'cause you're the next big thing
Everybody put your hand up
Uh huh
Now here you are
with a few more friends and a nicer car
But do you really know what the meaning of life is?
You've got the gift to make a wish
Will you ever give in to it to make a difference?
Now the kids that come to your shows
see your face everywhere you go
There's no way of knowing
just where you were going
I'll take you for every last second and moment
"I'm so pleased to meet you,"
is how they will greet you
while they're looking over your shoulder
I've seen all the faces; been millions of places
It's taken a lot not to lose all my patience
With every ? comes a whole lot of heartache
I'm trying hard not to learn from all of my mistakes
Hold me back
because I lose control
and you can say goodbye
to the days of old
You're the next big thing
The next big thing
They're gonna wanna shake your hand
and take a picture with your band
Everyone will shut their mouths
'cause they wanna hear you out
And they're gonna know your name
'cause you're the next big thing
There's no way of knowing
just where you were going
I'll take you for every last second and moment
"I'm so pleased to meet you,"
is how they will greet you
while they're looking over your shoulder
I've seen all the faces; been millions of places
It's taken a lot not to lose all my patience
For every good thing comes a whole lot of heartache
I'm trying hard to learn from all of my mistakes
Hold me back
because I lose control
and you can say goodbye
to the days of old
'Cause you're the next big thing
The next big thing
They're gonna wanna shake your hand
and take a picture with your band
Everyone will shut their mouths
'cause they wanna hear you out
And they're gonna know your name
'cause you're the next big thing
