Loverboy - Big Picture Lyrics

For every hour we've wasted,
Pretendin' we're indifferent.
We could be knowin' what we need.
Like wadin' through the vagueness,
Of sinking where I used to think.
I'd lie, the way is never kind.

But who can you really believe?
When all you hear is lies.
But just face it you and me
Let it ride or die

Oh, let us see the big picture.
Ain't no use denyin' who we are,
When we've come this far.

And I've been guilty of replacin'
My trust in you with words that broke you down,
With eyes that taste around.
I forgot what I was chasin',
But ran so far, I left myself behind,
I'm standin' out of time
I know there's a reason to be out on the edge,
With my face below the tide.
But the plays never over 'til the actor says
Thank You and good night.

Oh, now I see the big picture.
There ain't no use denyin' who we are,
When we've come this far

But don't even think about it,
I won't give up on you.
Don't ask me to forget what we've been through.
Yeah, we look back on the years of fame,
We won't go through that again.

We won't be the ones standin' in the rain.

Now forget all the lies I said,
They never came from the heart,
Forget the tears we've shed.
Now here comes the hardest part

Oh, now I see the big picture.
There ain't no use denyin' who we are,
When we've come this far.

I won't give any lectures.
There ain't no use denyin' who we are,
When we've come this far.
Oh, when we've come this far.

...mmmm...
Nobody said it would be easy.
How could we know it'd be so hard?
Oh no. no
But we've come this far.
Look at what we've done.
Look how far we've come,
And a long way to go.
Lookin' back at all the pain.
We won't go through that again.
Oh no

[Guitar interlude]

Yeah!
Ooooohhhh
Never never gonna change it.
Oh yeah
Never never never change it.
