lyrics

Everybody's bigger than I used to be.
Everybody's bigger, everybody's better.
The things that you tell yourself constantly.
Everybody's bigger, everybody's better.

When you make your bed,
do you sleep in it?
Or is the wisdom that sustains us just
the same that rearranges us?

You were in the yard,
with your tarot cards.
Does the past surround the future?
Is it stuck in a computer?

Everybody's bigger than I used to be.
Everybody's bigger, everybody's better.
The things that you tell yourself constantly.
Everybody's bigger, everybody's better.

But then I called your name,
from an empty stage.
There were mirrors on the ceiling,
but reflections hide the healing

I was a lonely car
on a dead end street.
The headlights in the valley show
I'm not the way you found me.

But I hope to be someday.

Everybody's bigger than I used to be.
Everybody's bigger, everybody's better.
The things that you tell yourself constantly.
Everybody's bigger, everybody's better.

Our Hero descends
on another weekend.
There's nowhere to go;
the screen beckons.

Everybody's bigger than I used to be.
Everybody's bigger, everybody's better.
The things that you tell yourself constantly.
Everybody's bigger, everybody's better.

But it's not that way.
