Next Big Thing Lyrics - Singles - Material Issue

I met her at a bar where I often sit down 

And have myself a drink 

She played my favorite song 

Before I had time to think 

So I bought her a round and she pounded it down 

Let out a laugh like a freight train 

We exchanged small talk 

Doesn't it feel that way? 

She said, "You and I we're two of a kind, not afraid to dream 

We could be, the next big thing" 

She told me, her roommate was gone for the weekend 

Borrowed her car and took off with her boyfriend 

They'd be married soon 

Was it December or June? 

She was an artist with a two bedroom apartment 

Her dad kept her going on a weekly allowance 

She'd be graduating soon 

Was it December or June? 

She said, "You and I we're two of a kind, not afraid to dream 

We could be, the next big thing" 

So I bought her one more 

And she stared at the door 

Watching the parade moving out and in 

She made fun of their clothes 

She said that I could never be one of those 

And I thought to myself, you're just like everybody else 

Standing at the station, but missing the train 

I turned to catch her expression 

She walked back over to me 

And I said, "You and I we're two of a kind, not afraid to dream 

We coulda been, the next big thing" 

The next big thing 

The next big thing 

The next big thing
