Lyrics for Big Little Lions' song "Oh It's You Again":
Oh it's you again today
Was hoping for somebody different
Someone to blame
But when I woke up
Nothing had changed
I look at that face again
Pick it apart
Desperately searching for somewhere to start
Today my world changes
Today my world changes
I can't forget all the battles I've lost
I was rough round the edges
Now I've gone soft
How many years
Until I pay off these dues
I can't believe what I think of myself
But I can't give in to somebody else
Today my world changes
Today my world changes
Only time will tell
So what should I do now
To wipe away this doubt
Oh it's you again I shrug
(Today my world changes)
Was hoping for somebody different
No one showed up
(Today my world changes)
So this face in the mirror will be enough
(Today my world changes)
Gotta be my own friend
When I get off track
Someone who loves me
Who I can love back
Today my world changes
Today my world changes
(Today my world changes)
Today my world changes
(Today my world changes)
Today my world changes
(Today my world changes)
Oh it's you again today
(Today my world changes)
Oh it's you again today
(Today my world changes)
Oh it's you again

Lyrics for Big Little Lions' song "Nearly Human":
Coming around, returning
All of my worlds are merging
I'm in between somewhere
I am nearly human
Barely awake
My body aches
My reverie broken
Pulled out of my dreams
And nearly human
My mind isn't sure of my body
The sun sends a note
My brain can't copy
Give me more time
I am nearly human
Barely awake
My body aches
My eyes pried wide open
Pulled out of my dreams
And nearly human
Eyes
These focusing eyes
These focusing eyes
These focusing eyes
These focusing eyes
These focusing eyes
I am nearly human
Barely awake
My reverie broken
Pulled out of my dreams
And nearly human
And nearly human
And nearly human
And nearly human

Lyrics for Big Little Lions' song "Worth The Time":
My heart was an open book you
Didn't care to read
No glance, no second look
Opinion pre-conceived
My cover said pick me please
My dedication bare
No waiting, no late fees
While I was waiting there
On the middle shelf
Not hard to find
My little story is worth the time
I'm worth the time
My peace is borrowed
My spine is worn
And after I'm returned
My pride is swallowed
My pages torn
From something new I learned
So put me in my place where I belong
In the company of others who
Keep me upright, steady and strong
On the middle shelf
Not hard to find
My little story is worth the time
I'm worth the time
On the middle shelf
Not hard to find
My little story is worth the time
On the middle shelf
Not hard to find
My little story is worth the time
I'm worth the time
(I'm worth the time)
(I'm worth the time)
Now I close your account
Which I no longer need
(I'm worth the time)
To put you in a story that
You didn't care to read

Lyrics for Big Little Lions' song "Catnap":
Catnap
You can't deny it now
Your eyes they can't stay open
Catnap
You won't be here for long
A quiet spell unbroken
You don't have to hit the wall
Keep it at your own pace
Take your eye off the ball
Keep it at your own pace
Dog tired
It's alright and it's okay
Fight, flight you become frozen
Your body now has spoken
You don't have to hit the wall
Keep it at your own pace
Take your eye off the ball
Keep it at your own pace
No it's not a time waste
So keep it at your own pace
Catnap
You won't be here for long
You don't have to hit the wall
Keep it at your own pace
(Keep it at your own pace)
Take your eyes off the ball
Keep it at your own pace
(Keep it at your own pace)
Keep it at your own pace
Keep it at your own pace
(You don't have to hit the wall)
(Keep it at your own pace)
Keep it at your own pace
(Take your eye off the ball)
(Keep it at your own pace)
Keep it at your own pace

Good & Ready

Lyrics for Big Little Lions' song "Good & Ready":
Are you just killing time
While you look for a reason
While trying not to be beaten down
By the world
It will turn out fine
And it's ok to take your time
You can stop trying to toe the line
That's so blurred
It's your turn
I'll let you go
When you learn
You can let me know
When you're good & ready
Don't you know you're ahead
So much further than I ever was
So aware and in tune because
You know the song
So I'm looking at you
And know I can learn from the best
Always know that I can confess
I was wrong
It's your turn
I'll let you go
What you learn
You can let me know
When you're good & ready
I have made mistakes
And I hope you give me grace
While I navigate the space
That I need to give you
I never owned you
I just borrowed you for a while
The term has expired
And I'll leave you to thrive
I know you'll thrive
It's your turn
I'll let you go
What you learn you can let me know
It's your turn
And I've let you go
What you learn
You can let me know
When you're good & ready
When you're good & ready
When you're good & ready
When you're good & ready

Lyrics for Big Little Lions' song "Almost":
It's not even over
But we're getting closer
Now I'm that bit older
Did I make it easy
I can give too freely
Or were you too greedy
I can almost see
But I'm not there yet
Almost within reach
But I'm not there yet
Weakness lets in monsters
Help but no one bothers
Breathe in deep
Take your seat
I can almost see
But I'm not there yet
Almost within reach
But I'm not there yet
I can almost see
But I'm not there yet
(But I'm not there yet)
Almost within reach
But I'm not there yet
(But I'm not there yet)
I can almost see
But I'm not there yet
(But I'm not there yet)
Almost within reach
But I'm not there yet
(But I'm not there yet)
I can almost see
But I'm not there yet
Almost within reach
But I'm not there yet

Lyrics for Big Little Lions' song "It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere":
It's 5 o'clock somewhere
It's time to stop
And go nowhere
But gravity still pulls me in
When I'm leaving
It's closing time I need
Something on ice
And breathe an air
With no one here but me
That's what I need
Slowly letting the day go
Letting the world know
I'll be gone awhile and
Slowly letting the night in
I can begin to put myself on silent
I may need to leave without a word
I can't guarantee that I'll return
Don't wait around too long
I won't be here
I tend to disappear
Slowly letting the day go
Letting the world know
I'll be gone awhile and
Slowly letting the night in
I can begin to put myself on silent
I wanna break from running
And I don't want to say a word
Wallow doing nothing
I wanna hit do not disturb
It's 5 o'clock somewhere
Turn all the locks
Put away the chairs
Turn the sign to closed
Slowly letting the day go
Letting the world know
I'll be gone awhile and
Slowly letting the night in
I can begin to put myself on silent
Letting the day go
Letting the world know
I'll be gone awhile and
Slowly letting the night in
I can begin to put myself on silent
It's 5 o'clock somewhere
It's 5 o'clock somewhere
It's 5 o'clock somewhere

Lyrics for Big Little Lions' song "When You're Right, You're Right":
When the day is done
Every win hard won
And I wanna slam every door
That's when I like to to take you out dancing
On the kitchen floor
You may refuse
You may decline
But a little jitter on linoleum
Can help us unwind
When you're right, you're right
When you're right, you're right
When you're right, you're right
When you're right, you're right
When you know me so well you can tell
But I tell you I'm fine
You somehow find a way
To embrace this porcupine
I try not to smile
In spite of you
You got me laughing at myself
You know what to do
When you're right, you're right
When you're right, you're right
When you're right, you're right
When you're right, you're right
You can say nothing
My bark is much worse than my bite
'Cause of your loving
That's how I know that you're right
So this day is done
The night is young
And I'm in a bit of a mood
That's when I like to take you out dancing
In the living room
When you're right, you're right
When you're right, you're right
When you're right, you're right
When you're right, you're right
When you're right, you're right
When you're right, you're right
When you're right, you're right
When you're right, you're right
You know I don't want to fight
But I hate it when you're right
You know I don't want to fight
But I know when you're right, you're right

After Midnight Here

Lyrics for Big Little Lions' song "After Midnight Here":
I didn't want to talk at all
We'd only speak about the weather
And it's still raining
I didn't want to peek outside
I spend the day content not knowing
If it's still raining
I need a word with the weatherman
Whether he can help me
I need to take it up with the manager
Maybe she can help me
But it's after midnight here
A little bit of light will fool you
But you know it's the hope that kills you
I've given up I'll wear my sweater
The one that says that it gets better
While the world, the world gets wetter
I need a word with the weatherman
Whether he can help me
I need to take it up with the manager
Maybe she can help me
But it's after midnight here
I need a word with the weatherman
Whether he can help me
I need to take it up with the manager
Maybe she can help me
I need to go 'cause the weatherman tells me he can't help me
I need to sleep but the manager keeps me on hold
And it's after midnight here
I didn't want to talk at all
You know it's after midnight here

Why Won't My Brain Stop

Lyrics for Big Little Lions' song "Why Won't My Brain Stop":
When I turn out the light
When my body's had enough
I wait for the dark to close in
When will my thoughts shut up
Oh they'll be here soon
These fraught intruders
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
There's no high, there's no drug
To turn the volume down
And I'm not asking for much
I need a couple of hours
I can only dream of dreams
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
The moment I drift away
Is the moment I recall
What I screwed up today
Why won't
Why won't
Why won't
Why Won't
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't my brain stop
Why won't
Why won't
(Why won't)
When I turn out the light
(Why won't)
When my body's (why won't) had enough
(Why won't)

All Done Up

Lyrics for Big Little Lions' song "All Done Up":
It's been a long, long day
I need to wind it down
Maybe a short escape
Gonna get all done up
Father time waits for nobody
Always impatient and cold
Don't bother to beg
You'll find that he's already gone
Patience is not my best trait
But it's often hangin' round
The day's work is done
And the night
The night is young
Make some calls, make some plans
Hope that someone picks up
I'm at my wits end
Need a break
Need a friend
'Cause I'm all
'Cause I'm all done up
Time heals all
But steals away my confidence
And doubt comes creeping in
Will I find, find someone
Who will help to paint this town
Make some calls, make some plans
Hope that someone picks up
I'm at my wits end
Need a break
Need a friend
'Cause I'm all
'Cause I'm all done up
I'm dreaming big
Let's keep this city on its toes
Don't care what they think
We'll show 'em in our fancy clothes
Make some calls, make some plans
Hope that someone picks up
I'm at my wits end
Need a break
Need a friend
'Cause I'm all
'Cause I'm all done up
'Cause I'm all
'Cause I'm all done up
