Big Ben

Don't you get too close
 Make a mental note
 That something's gonna give
 If you wait this time out
 A penny strikes the well
 And sinks down to the bottom
 With so much weight to bear
 It's a quick fix, so don't you dare back down
 Someone please explain
 How days so plain
 Became so fickle and dangerous
 Have gathered an unsettling dust
 Have beaten up the both of us
 Think Big Ben, Big Ben
 Don't go down that easy
 A knock at your front door
 You answer from the bed
 Nobody comes in, nobody goes out
 Mistakes you can't take back
 The unforgiven move, if this can't be erased
 You're left wondering about what might have been
 Someone please explain
 How days so plain
 Became so fickle and dangerous
 Have gathered an unsettling dust
 Have beaten up the both of us
 Think Big Ben, Big Ben
 Don't go down that easy
 She wants to know the truth
 You want to hurt her less
 And one day this will pass
 And neither of you will even care
