If you're looking for the next big thing
If you wanna say you knew me when
I hope you like the songs I sing
This might be all you get
You know there was a time
I used to buy into the lie
Less and less was ringing true
I knew I almost lost the things I love
If you're looking for the next big thing
If you wanna say you knew me then
I hope you like the songs I sing
This might be all you get
Just play the cards in hand
Your territory will expand
Sure the world was growing then
But it was only spreading thin
It couldn't hold the things I love
If you're looking for the next big thing
If you wanna say you knew me well
I hope you like the songs I sing
This might be all you get
If you want to see my name in lights
Hear my music on the radio
You might have to settle for tonight
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
I've seen the rising, falling, shooting stars
I've seen them burning out,
If it's a choice between glory
I think that I can follow what you and I are
If you're looking for the next big thing
If you want to say you knew me when
I hope you like the songs I sing
If you wanna see my name in the lights
Hear my music on the radio
You might have to sell a phone tonight
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
