Flicking embers into daffodils
You didn’t plan to tell me how you feel
You laugh about it like it’s no big deal
Crush the fire underneath your heel
I'm surprised that you’re the one who said it first
If you had waited a few years, I would’ve burst
Everything comes up to the surface in the end
Even the things we’d rather leave unspoken
We both know that it would never work
You’ve got your girl, you’re gonna marry her
And I’ll be watching in a pinstriped suit
Sincerely happy for the both of you
So what changes, if anything?
Maybe everything can stay the same
But if we never talk about it again
There’s something I want you to understand
You’re a big deal
You’re a big deal
You’re a big deal
You’re a big deal
You knew when you caught me reading at your show
I knew when you came to visit in the cold
We could've done something that we’d come to regret
Do you remember? You say: How could I forget?
But we both know that it would never work
You’ve got your girl, you’re gonna marry her
And I’ll be watching in a pinstriped suit
Not even wishing it was me and you
So what changes, if anything?
Maybe everything can stay the same
But if we never talk about it again
There’s something I want you to understand
You’re a big deal
You’re a big deal
You’re a big deal
You’re a big deal
You’re a big deal
You’re a big deal
You’re a big deal
You’re a big deal
