The One
Big D And The Kids Table Lyrics

The feelings trapped, wrapped in all you might have said
There are emotions that are trapped and intertwined with everything that you said

I want to take it back, hide it in out it read
I wish to undo what was said and pretend it never happened

a circled voice is something that I cannot stop
There's a lingering voice in my mind that I can't seem to silence

why have a friend just to cut him down alone on top, never fought, never mean, you never turned away
What's the point of having a friend if you're just going to belittle them, when all they've ever done was support you?

you never had to see, how can I hear your screams when you're drowning in this silent place
You never understood my struggles, and now you expect me to help you despite being in the same dark place

how can I hear your screams when I'm drowning in the same waste
I can't be there for you when I'm dealing with the same problems that you are

I wipe this window to see the fog it blocks my sight like when I want to believe but can't see all that's right
I try to clear my mind like wiping a foggy window, but sometimes it's hard to see the truth even when it's in front of me

a circled voice said, nothing, must have spread the word the word where small groups talk, their hearts like rocks, it's all absurd
The voice in my mind remains silent, but somehow rumors and gossip have spread through small groups whose members are insensitive and unfeeling

a chance for change blind by fame it's all the same a chance to let it go and what I think I know
There's an opportunity for change but people are too blinded by their desire for fame, It's a chance to let it all go and reassess what I once thought was true

progress isn't stepping forward progress isn't judged by wealth
Progress isn't necessarily tied to making strides forward, nor can it be measured by monetary worth alone

too far to change us all but not too far to save yourself, {no, I think I'd rather go home solitude I want to be all alone}
It may be difficult to change everyone around you, but it's not impossible to change yourself. In this case, the singer would rather be alone instead of trying to change the status quo

but anyway I'm gonna to wake up do my daily act stick to what I like hold on to what I hold real tight
Regardless of everything, the artist will wake up and continue to do the things he/she normally does and keep close to what they love

anyway it's not going to matter in the long run yet long enough to frame the picture you show everyone
In the grand scheme of things, what we do may not matter, but it still has an impact on how others perceive us

I don't know what to say, don't know what to do, the only thing I know is that I can't get through to you
I'm at a loss for words and actions, the only thing that's certain is that I can't connect with you

well time is on my side, these things that pass me by, I never even noticed, never thought, wondered why
Time is a luxury, and the singer realizes that there are some things that they never paid attention to in the past and never questioned why
