Hunting Season
Big Talk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You should've thought the whole thing through
Now we're sitting on your life again tonight
We've been missing you
We've been telling our friends we expected you
We don't know what to do
Where do wanna go? what it's coming to?
Oh, oh
You can take it from my hands
I should've known that you're gonna try someday
Should've thought you were better man
A better man than the one you choose to sound
We've been tracking for miles and miles
Tin can dude with a runaway smile
Always, always you, oh oh
We've been missing you
We've been thinking this thing the whole night through
We wanna talk to you
Yeah, to see your face, what you've been into.
Oh, oh
You can take it from my hands
I should have known it would happen to me someday
Should've thought you were better man
A better man than the one you choose to sound
We've been tracking for miles and miles
Thinking who will always smile
Always, always you, oh oh
So you're blowing winds will roll in
Change your colors, the hunting season
Heavy shoulders, it's not over
We could, we could celebrate the end
We could celebrate the end
We could celebrate the end
We could celebrate the end
I should have known it would happen to me someday
Should've thought you were better man
We've been tracking for miles and miles
Tin can dude with a runaway smile
Always, always you, oh oh
