Dashboard Confessional - In a Big Country lyrics

I never seen you look like
This without a reason
Another promise fallen through
Another season passes by you
I never took the smile
Away from anybody's face
And that's a desperate way to look for
Someone who is still a child

In a big country, dreams stay with you
Like the lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive

I thought that pain and truth
Were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every
Single hope you had shattered
I'm not expecting to grow
Flowers in the desert
But I can live and breathe and
See the sun in wintertime

In a big country, dreams stay with you
Like the lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive

In a big country, dreams stay with you
Like the lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive

So take that look out of here
It doesn't fit you
Because it's happened doesn't mean
You've been discarded
Pull up your head off the floor
Come up screaming cry out for everything you
Ever may have wanted
I thought that pain and truth
Were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every
Single hope you had shattered

I'm not expecting to grow
Flowers in the desert
But I can live and breathe and
See the sun in wintertime

In a big country, dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
