"The Big One" lyrics
(Live at Sugarshack Sessions)
Y'all got hurricanes out here in Florida
In California we got earthquakes
This song is about earthquakes
It's called "The Big One", it's a new one
If we get the big one
And all of LA falls in the sea
Well, I hope that there's a place left standing
With enough room for you and me
Uh, they warn you when you move to California state
You'll regret it when you get that big earthquake
Well, it's a move that I made I appreciate
Some would call it dumb luck, some would say it's fate
The way I met you in this densely populated place
Then we connected and we went out on a bunch of dates
A year later we like soulmates
I don't ever wanna separate
You a ray of sunshine, a southern California native
Your loving gives me energy, it makes me feel creative
You my favorite, I would have to say that you're the greatest
I'ma fill your stomach with a baby then we finna raise it
There's something different 'bout this one, this love is sacred
It's all I need, it's that simple, I'm back to basics
And when the earth starts shaking
I'll be with you jumping over cracks in the pavement
If we get the big one
And all of LA falls in the sea
Well, I hope that there's a place left standing
Enough room for you and me
Yo, I watch a lot of documentaries on Netflix
You could say my favorite genre is apocalypse
Global warming, peak oil, singularity
There's like a hundred things about to kill humanity
But I ain't tripping though, about the different threats
This shit is headed for the fan, it ain't hit it yet
And if it gets bad like they forecasting
I'll be with you 'til the end even if it's tragic
I'll stand with you on the last polar ice cap
I'll fight with you, killing zombies with a spiked bat
I know we'll probably never have to do nothing like that
It's just a fancy way of saying that I got your back
I'm down to say the vows, I'm down to swap the rings
I wanna dance with you 'til the fat lady sings
Through all the joy and the pain that this life brings
I'll be by your side through anything, I mean it
If we get the big one
And all of LA falls in the sea
Well, I hope that there's a place left standing
With enough room for you and me
Ooh, enough room for you and me
Ooh, enough room for you and me
I love you Christine
In California we got earthquakes
This song is about earthquakes
It's called "The Big One", it's a new one
If we get the big one
And all of LA falls in the sea
Well, I hope that there's a place left standing
With enough room for you and me
Uh, they warn you when you move to California state
You'll regret it when you get that big earthquake
Well, it's a move that I made I appreciate
Some would call it dumb luck, some would say it's fate
The way I met you in this densely populated place
Then we connected and we went out on a bunch of dates
A year later we like soulmates
I don't ever wanna separate
You a ray of sunshine, a southern California native
Your loving gives me energy, it makes me feel creative
