Like all your dreams go small
And all your friends run away
Until your memories fail
And the words don't fit
But the way the big hand smiles
You just won't care about it
The big hand makes all of your favourite things
Like all your days run out
And all your hopes disappear
And your smiles just stop
And your eyes go dead
And the shadows start to crawl
In the back of your head
But when the big hand speaks
It's like fireworks and heaven
So you listen
Don't think
And wish for nothing at all
And when the big hand sings
It's like fireworks and friends
Leaving alone i'm not
Leaving alone
Leaving alone i'll never
Leave alone again
So when the big hand holds up all your favourite things
And with a touch like glass
Starts to squeeze
You don't ask
"why me?"
You just slip to the floor
Just slip to your knees
But when the big hand speaks
It's like fireworks and heaven
So you listen
Don't think
And wish for nothing at all
And when the big hand sings
It's like fireworks and friends
Leaving alone i'm not
Leaving alone
Never leaving alone
Leaving alone i'm not
Leaving alone
Leaving alone
I'm not leaving alone again
The big hand makes all of your favourite things Like all your dreams go small And all your friends run away Until your memories fail And the words don't fit But the way the big hand smiles You just won't care about it The big hand makes all of your favourite things Like all your days run out And all your hopes disappear And your smiles just stop And your eyes go dead And the shadows start to crawl In the back of your head But when the big hand speaks It's like fireworks and heaven So you listen Don't think And wish for nothing at all And when the big hand sings It's like fireworks and friends Leaving alone i'm not Leaving alone Leaving alone i'll never Leave alone again So when the big hand holds up all your favourite things And with a touch like glass Starts to squeeze You don't ask "why me?" You just slip to the floor Just slip to your knees But when the big hand speaks It's like fireworks and heaven So you listen Don't think And wish for nothing at all And when the big hand sings It's like fireworks and friends Leaving alone i'm not Leaving alone Never leaving alone Leaving alone i'm not Leaving alone Leaving alone I'm not leaving alone again Explain Request ×
