Don't you get too close Make a mental note That something's gonna give If you wait this time out A penny strikes the well And sinks down to the bottom With so much weight to bear It's a quick fix, so don't you dare back down Someone please explain How days so plain Became so fickle and dangerous Have gathered an unsettling dust Have beaten up the both of us Think Big Ben, Big Ben Don't go down that easy A knock at your front door You answer from the bed Nobody comes in, nobody goes out Mistakes you can't take back The unforgiven move, if this can't be erased You're left wondering about what might have been Someone please explain How days so plain Became so fickle and dangerous Have gathered an unsettling dust Have beaten up the both of us Think Big Ben, Big Ben Don't go down that easy She wants to know the truth You want to hurt her less And one day this will pass And neither of you will even care
