What's The Big Idea
i really don't have that much to say
so i'll paint this smile back on my face
and let you wonder why i'm so happy all the time

i need to find myself some air
but this shit lingers everywhere
i try to hide

you say what's the big idea
well why can't you just walk away
and forget the things you say you need

stop taking life so seriously
it's the only way that i know to be

*chorus*-----------------------------------------------------------
i can't run away from what's inside
i can't wait it out hoping it passes me by
i've forgotten what it was
i wanted to leave behind
*chorus*-----------------------------------------------------------

take it slow
judge the weight
before i make the same mistakes

and let my mind fade
this ignorance replaces the pain

but i'm still losing too much sleep
for all these memories that i keep

to remind me why
i feel absent in my own life

*chorus*

but the pain still exists
after the memories die, the memories die

it's all up to me
cause i can't change
what it is i've seen

i have to take what i am given
because without it i am incomplete
this is my life and all the space between

*chorus*

but the pain still exists
after the memories die

i've forgotten what it was (3x)
i wanted to leave behind

i really don't have that much to say
so i'll paint this smile back on my face
and let you wonder why
i'm so happy all the time
