Think Big
Dave Melillo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think i'm running out of sympathy
Promises you've made
But never kept
Now i'm over all the inside jokes
That capsulate the past
They're all worn out

I think we're running out of alcohol
Someone make a run to get some more
I think i'm running out of energy to emphasize these words that you warned me of

And i, would like to try just one more time
And i, would like to try just one more time

Cause if i can find ways to rewind
Take back all those drunken ... lines i gave to you

I think you've gotten way too big for me
Smoking out in cars
You're smoking out your friends
I think my tolerance for 'thats just him expect the words you can' has just run out.
I think his cell phone calls mean more to you than i ever did or ever would

And i, would like to try just one more time
And i, would like to try just one more time

Cause if i can find ways to rewind
To october of our sophomore year
And stop where we began
And i won't let you tell me stories of smoking blunts in empty fories
Save it for the people who will praise you for it

And i won't let you tell me stories of smoking blunts in empty fories
Save it for the people who will praise you for it

Looking for something, i've got it all right here
If you're looking for substance, i've got it all right here




Looking for fuel to add to raging fire that is your ego
Look somewhere else

Overall Meaning

In Dave Melillo's song Think Big, he describes the end of a relationship where the pain and frustration have reached a point of no return. The lyrics communicate how he's grown tired of the broken promises and empty words of his partner. Dave's had enough of the inside jokes that remind him of the past, but provide no healing for the future. He feels like his energy is lacking to convey the importance of his words, and while he hungers for one more opportunity to repair things, he believes his partner has grown too self-centered to see the value of what they once shared. Dave's song highlights his appreciation for substance in a relationship, as he invites his partner to seek fuel to add to their ego elsewhere if that's what they require.
