You're the next big thing

The next big thing

They're gonna wanna shake your hand

And take a picture with your band

Everyone will shut their mouths

'Cause they wanna hear you out

And they're gonna know your name

'Cause you're the next

There's no way of knowing just where you were going

They'll take you for every last second and moment

"So pleased to meet you", is how they will greet you

While they're looking over your shoulder

I've seen all the faces, been millions of places

It's taken a lot not to lose all my patience

For every good thing comes, a whole lot of heartache

I've tried hard to learn from all of my mistakes

Hold me back in case I lose control

And you can say goodbye to the days of old

Because you're the next big thing

The next big thing

They're gonna wanna shake your hand

And take a picture with your band

Everyone will shut their mouths

'Cause they wanna hear you out

And they're gonna know your name

'Cause you're the next big thing

Everybody put your hands up, uh, huh

Now here you are

With a few more friends and a nicer car

But do you really know what the meaning of life is?

You've got the gift to make a wish

Will you ever give in to it to make a difference?

Now the kids that come to your shows

See your face everywhere you go

There's no way of knowing just where you were going

They'll take you for every last second and moment

"So pleased to meet you", is how they will greet you

While they're looking over your shoulder

I've seen all the faces, been millions of places

It's taken a lot not to lose all my patience

For every good thing comes, a whole lot of heartache

I've tried hard to learn from all of my mistakes

Hold me back in case I lose control

And you can say goodbye to the days of old

Because you're the next big thing

The next big thing

They're gonna wanna shake your hand

And take a picture with your band

Everyone will shut their mouths

'Cause they wanna hear you out

And they're gonna know your name

'Cause you're the next big thing

Because you're the next big thing

The next big thing

They're gonna wanna shake your hand

And take a picture with your band

Everyone will shut their mouths

'Cause they wanna hear you out

And they're gonna know your name

'Cause you're the next big thing
