"Bigger Man" lyrics
Joy Oladokun & Maren Morris Lyrics
"Bigger Man"
Here you go again
Still loud, still right, still not listening
How it's always been
Doesn't make it make any sense
You were born on the high road
But somehow I always go higher
Oh, I hit all the high notes
But still don't got a seat in the choir
I've paddled upstream where the river ran
I've turned stick and stones into an olive branch
I've made a full house from a shitty hand
Yet, here I am, still gotta be bigger than the bigger man
Turn the other cheek
At some point you wonder, how nice can you be?
Why's it up to me?
Maybe it's your turn to think before you speak
Your streets are golden
Mine are paved with your leftovers
The world's spinning backwards
Same things happen over and over, over
I've paddled upstream where the river ran
I've turned stick and stones into an olive branch
I've made a full house from a shitty hand
Yet, here I am, still gotta be bigger than the bigger man
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
It's not your problem
You think it's none of your business
Oh, you think you're tired?
Try it longer than three minutes
I've paddled upstream where the river ran
I've turned stick and stones into an olive branch
I've made a full house from a shitty hand
Yet, here I am, still gotta be bigger than the bigger man
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Wrabel - "Poetry" It was that summer
I learned your number
Like it was my own
I still remember
That first September
Driving you home
And oh my, my, my

And looking for something

Ray LaMontagne - "Such A Simple Thing" Tell me what you're feeling
I can take the pain
Tell me that you mean it
That you won't leave again
Tell me what your heart wants
Such a simple thing
My heart is like paper
Yours is like a flame

FLETCHER - "Bitter" It's like being on the outside of an inside joke
It's like when they only got Pepsi and you really want Coke
It's like you finally get a text back and it's just your mom
It's like when you just broke...
Ingrid Andress - "Don't Start Now" If you don't wanna see me
Did a full 180, crazy
Thinking 'bout the way I was
Did the heartbreak change me? Maybe
But look at where I ended up
I'm all good already
So moved on, it's scary
I'm not...
Lizzy McAlpine - "Apple Pie" Some days I'm lonely
And some days I'm not
Some days I am only
A little bit sad, not a lot
How do you
How do you make a home?
What to do?
'Cause I never stay too long
Every house looks the same in...
