Big Ben Lyrics

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
