bigcitydreams Lyrics
You say we're both little people and you like it that way
But in time I'm gonna put this body to shame (and grow old)
Where a suit like my old man
Pack up all my things and get my ass out of town
We've got it good
Whether you like this town or not
I know it's small but with a big head
it's bound to get hot
In the summer
But the summer is a bummer
If you can't leave
This pathetic excuse for a town
That holds all your memories
A lifetime of crushes and your broken dreams
To be anywhere but here
But baby anywhere is away from me
If you got it all figured out
Then what is there to shout about
This mid-west town is gonna miss you
Just go ahead and work it out
But first come on and let it out
Scream it shout tell everybody how your gonna leave
In about one year you'll have it all figured out
These big city dream are what you're about
Walking like strangers among these states
Only time will tell how long I can wait
We've got it good
Whether you like this town or not
I know it's small but with a big head
it's bound to get hot
In the summer
But the summer is a bummer
If you can't leave
This pathetic excuse for a town
That holds all your memories
A lifetime of crushes and your broken dreams
To be anywhere but here
But baby anywhere is away from me
If you got it all figured out
Then what is there to shout about
This mid-west town is gonna miss you
Just go ahead and work it out
But first come on and let it out
Scream it shout tell everybody how your gonna leave
Me again oh so casually
Did you take the hit for me or the home team
If you got it all figured out
Then what is there to shout about
This mid-west town is gonna miss you
But in time I'm gonna put this body to shame (and grow old)
Where a suit like my old man
Pack up all my things and get my ass out of town
Whether you like this town or not
I know it's small but with a big head
it's bound to get hot
In the summer
But the summer is a bummer
If you can't leave
This pathetic excuse for a town
A lifetime of crushes and your broken dreams
To be anywhere but here
But baby anywhere is away from me
Then what is there to shout about
This mid-west town is gonna miss you
Just go ahead and work it out
But first come on and let it out
Scream it shout tell everybody how your gonna leave
These big city dream are what you're about
Walking like strangers among these states
Only time will tell how long I can wait
Whether you like this town or not
I know it's small but with a big head
it's bound to get hot
In the summer
But the summer is a bummer
If you can't leave
This pathetic excuse for a town
A lifetime of crushes and your broken dreams
To be anywhere but here
But baby anywhere is away from me
Then what is there to shout about
This mid-west town is gonna miss you
Just go ahead and work it out
But first come on and let it out
Scream it shout tell everybody how your gonna leave
Did you take the hit for me or the home team
Then what is there to shout about
This mid-west town is gonna miss you

Can't believe no ones commented this yet! I love this song, my favourite never shout never song. It's so cute! I think it's about a guy who's girlfriend has these big ambitions of moving away and living in a big city and he doesn't want her to leave him behind.
i agree! this song is amazing my favorite part is where he says,
