Big Ben
My gold rings turn green
And they're staining my fingers
That seem to get swollen around mid-December
But now we're in March and I'm marching on endlessly
To a life I'm scared to receive
A boy from my high school got married last spring
Didn't know he had courage to buy her the ring
I guess life just keeps moving
Moving on endlessly
But I'm scared for that to be me
But I'm stuck
Inside
My Big Ben
Oh what a joyride
Can't slow down time
I'm closer to 20 than I am to 16
And a few of my friends are now strangers to me
I can't run home again
'Cause I'm not quite sure where it would be
Oh and all of a sudden I forget where I am
And I'm back at my house
With the beach and the sand
And I don't wanna leave this childish moment
But I'm stuck
Inside
My Big Ben
Oh what a joyride
I don't love
My life
In this Big Ben
It's moving too fast
Can't slow down time
Midnights are foes
No longer friends
'Cause day breaks and night falls
Too fast to pretend
I'm a youth in the days
Where I still lived at home
Fights with my brother
Hot tea in the cold
But it's all so distant
A blurry memory
Looks like a sundress and smells like the sea
But it calls me
When I'm alone
And it calls me
So I pick up the phone
But I wish I didn't
'Cause it all takes me back
And I swore I was done
Living in the past
But over and over
I keep coming back
To the places that raised me
And the love that I had
But I've gotta move on now
I've gotta grow up now
I don't wanna be stuck
Inside
My Big Ben
Oh what a joyride
Can't slow down time
And they're staining my fingers
That seem to get swollen around mid-December
But now we're in March and I'm marching on endlessly
To a life I'm scared to receive
A boy from my high school got married last spring
Didn't know he had courage to buy her the ring
I guess life just keeps moving
Moving on endlessly
But I'm scared for that to be me
But I'm stuck
Inside
My Big Ben
Oh what a joyride
Can't slow down time
I'm closer to 20 than I am to 16
And a few of my friends are now strangers to me
I can't run home again
'Cause I'm not quite sure where it would be
Oh and all of a sudden I forget where I am
And I'm back at my house
With the beach and the sand
And I don't wanna leave this childish moment
But I'm stuck
Inside
My Big Ben
Oh what a joyride
I don't love
My life
In this Big Ben
It's moving too fast
Can't slow down time
Midnights are foes
No longer friends
'Cause day breaks and night falls
Too fast to pretend
I'm a youth in the days
Where I still lived at home

But I've gotta move on now
I've gotta grow up now
I don't wanna be stuck
Inside
My Big Ben
Oh what a joyride
Can't slow down time
