Bigger Houses Album Lyrics by Dan + Shay

Breakin' Up With a Broken Heart

Oh yeah
Oh
Ooh yeah

It's been a couple months now since she up and walked out
Left me in a cloud of dust
Played a million sad songs, wondered where I went wrong
I've had enough

I'm sick of feeling down, down, down
Hanging in a heartbreak town
I'm thinking what I need right now
Is a one-way ticket out

I'm breaking up with a broken heart
Taking a vacation to a brand new start
Sending my tears in a taxi
'Til they turn happy
Leaving all my lonely in the dark
Oh, I'm breaking up with a broken heart
Oh, yeah

I'ma find a good time, see a little sunshine
Put a smile on my face
Maybe hit the west coast, anywhere the wind blows
Somewhere she ain't

I'll pull up in a long gone chair
Double shot of just don't care
Where the only thing blue is the sky
And love ain't on my mind 'cause

I'm breaking up with a broken heart
Taking a vacation to a brand new start
Sending my tears in a taxi
'Til they turn happy
Leaving all my lonely in the dark
Oh, I'm breaking up with a broken heart
Oh, yeah

Adios, sayonara
I'll be waking up good tomorrow
Oh, and every day after that
'Cause I ain't looking back, no

I'm breaking up with a broken heart
Taking a vacation to a brand new start
Sending my tears in a taxi
'Til they turn happy
Leaving all my lonely in the dark
Oh, I'm breaking up with a broken heart
Oh, yeah

Save Me The Trouble

I can tell by the way
That you're stirring your drink
Oh, we're already playing with fire
Said that you had to go
'Bout an hour ago
Baby, you're such a beautiful liar

It feels like a movie I've already seen
So right now I'm begging you please

Why don't you save me the trouble
Keep those pretty blue eyes to yourself
Why don't you save me the trouble
Give that heartache to somebody else

If you're the kinda girl that's only gonna wanna love and leave
A guy like me
Alone in this bar drinking double
Why don't you save me the trouble
Save me the trouble, baby

Now the closer I get
To the red on your lips
I can feel myself falling all crazy
'Cause just a little kiss and I could never get you out of my mind
So before you go wreck my whole life

Why don't you save me the trouble
Keep those pretty blue eyes to yourself
Why don't you save me the trouble (save me the trouble, baby)
Give that heartache to somebody else (somebody else)

If you're the kinda girl that's only gonna wanna love and leave
A guy like me
Alone in this bar drinking double
Why don't you save me the trouble
Save me the trouble, baby

Oh, oh

I know you know that I ain't strong enough
To tell girls like you no, no it ain't in my blood

So just save me the trouble
Keep those pretty blue eyes to yourself
Why don't you save me the trouble (save me the trouble, baby)
Give that heartache to somebody else (somebody else)

'Cause you're the kinda girl that's only gonna wanna love and leave
A guy like me
Alone in this bar drinking double
Why don't you save me the trouble
Why don't you save me the trouble
Save me the trouble, baby

Heartbreak On The Map

This barstool knows my name by now
Midnight longneck lost and found
Asking everyone in town
If they've seen that girl
That girl that went and done me wrong
Turned me to a country song
Kind that bars play all night long
Jukebox full of Merle

Ooh, took a page out the get gone book
Ooh, and I don't know where to look

She might be west of Texas
East of Tennessee
Could be Colorado
Oh, all I know is that she ain't here with me
Since it went south
Taillights in a dust cloud
Left me and she left me wondering where the hell she's at
That girl put heartbreak on the map

She got me running around
She got me spinning in circles
She ain't coming back
That girl put heartbreak on the map

Didn't leave me with a goodbye kiss
Just a little whiskey on my lips
And this lonesome state I'm in
Ain't getting no better

(Ooh) got a 30A bumper sticker
Ooh, if you see her let her know I miss her

She might be west of Texas
East of Tennessee
Could be Colorado
Oh, all I know is that she ain't here with me
Since it went south
Taillights in a dust cloud
Left me and she left me wondering where the hell she's at
That girl put heartbreak on the map

This barstool knows my name by now
Midnight longneck lost and found
Asking everyone in town
If they've seen that girl
(If they've seen that girl)
(If they've seen that girl)

She might be west of Texas
East of Tennessee
Could be Colorado
Oh, all I know is that she ain't here with me
Since it went south
Taillights in a dust cloud
Left me and she left me wondering where the hell she's at
That girl put heartbreak on the map

She got me running around
She got me spinning in circles
She ain't coming back
That girl put heartbreak on the map

Ooh
Heartbreak on the map
That girl put heartbreak on the map

Always Gonna Be

Paradise is a swing on a porch
Summertime is a little too short
The best things in life are free
And they're always gonna be
Hometown is a heaven on earth
Sundays are for football and church
The world turns but I believe
There's always gonna be

Beer drinkin' kids on a backroad
Good country songs on the radio
Tailgates fallin' down on a Friday
Long goodbye kisses in the driveway
Long as the sun keeps comin' up
Long as the Mississippi River runs
Baby, just like you and me
Some things are always gonna be

Girl, your eyes are my favorite blue
I double take when I wake up with you
I'm so in love with you lovin' on me
And I'm always gonna be
Holding you close for the rest of my life
Forever and ever, baby, just like

Beer drinkin' kids on a backroad
Good country songs on the radio
Tailgates fallin' down on a Friday
Long goodbye kisses in the driveway
Long as the sun keeps comin' up
Long as the Mississippi River runs
Baby, just like you and me
Some things are always gonna be

Always gonna hold your hand
Always gonna ask you to dance
Even when we're pushin' eighty
You're still gonna drive me crazy

There's always gonna be

Beer drinkin' kids on a backroad
Good country songs on the radio
Tailgates fallin' down on a Friday
Long goodbye kisses in the driveway
Long as the sun keeps comin' up
Long as the Mississippi River runs
Baby, just like you and me
Some things are always gonna be

(Some things are always gonna be)
(Some things are always gonna be)
(Some things are always gonna be) baby, just like you and me
Some things are always gonna be

For The Both of Us

Now that it's just me and you
Can we talk for a few
I've got something to get off my chest
You probably already know
Been in my boots before
My heart's racing like hell but I guess

I'm just gonna say it out loud

I'm in love with your daughter
And I've been since the first time I saw her
I'll ask her the question
If you give your blessing
When she takes my hand you can trust
I'll love her enough for the both of us

I know that you loved her first
But for better or worse
I'll treat her like you prayed that I would

When she's all dressed in white
And you're giving her away
For the rest of my life
You can trust when I say

I'm in love with your daughter
And I've been since the first time I saw her
I'll ask her the question
If you give your blessing
When she takes my hand you can trust
I'll love her enough for the both of us

Oh

She'll always be your baby girl
And I'm gonna give her the world

'Cause I'm in love with your daughter
And I've been since the first time I saw her
I'll ask her the question
If you give your blessing
When she takes my hand you can trust
I'll love her enough for the both of us

Ooh

Then Again

If I could go back then again, I woulda held onto that Bronco
Took the work week off for that boys' trip to Colorado
Stuck around for graduation
Been a little bit more patient
Finished my degree, I might be rich

Then again, I wouldn't be sitting here with my whole world in my arms
Stealing kisses on a Sunday afternoon
There's a few things that I might have changed if God put me in charge
Then again, I would've never met you

If I could go back then again, I'd say sorry to Savannah
Take one last trip to Grandpa's house just outside Atlanta
I'd spend more time at 507
Send a few more prayers to Heaven
If it were up to me
Who knows where I'd be?

But then again, I wouldn't be sitting here with my whole world in my arms
Stealing kisses on a Sunday afternoon
There's a few things that I might have changed if God put me in charge
Then again, I would've never met you

Without the heartbreaks and hard goodbyes
And all the wrong turns that turned out right

I wouldn't be sitting here with my whole world in my arms
On a Sunday afternoon
There's a few things that I might have changed if God put me in charge
Then again, I would've never met you

Then again, I would've never met you
You

Heaven + Back

It wasn't even half as far as I thought it'd be
It was barely out of town
Somewhere in between a creek and some evergreens
She was showing me around

I swore I saw a halo
Hanging over her head
I didn't know I needed saving
But that's just what she did

Last night, I went to heaven and back
And I stayed there for a while
I danced with an angel 'til the stars went black
Last night, I went to heaven and back
She took my hand, and I saw the light
And I hope I'm going back tonight
Hey

There was something 'bout the way that she held me close
There was magic in her eyes
Watched her put a little gold on a gravel road
Turned the water into wine

Sunday morning's got nothing on her
You might not believe it, but I'm pretty sure

Last night, I went to heaven and back
And I stayed there for a while
I danced with an angel 'til the stars went black
Last night, I went to heaven and back
She took my hand, and I saw the light
And I hope I'm going back tonight
Hey

I swore I saw a halo
Hanging over her head
I didn't know I needed saving
But that's just what she did

Last night, I went to heaven and back
And I stayed there for a while
I danced with an angel 'til the stars went black
Last night, I went to heaven
Last night, I went to heaven and back
And I stayed there for a while
I danced with an angel 'til the stars went black
Last night, I went to heaven and back
She took my hand, and I saw the light
And I hope I'm going back tonight
Hey

It wasn't even half as far as I thought it'd be
It was barely out of town

What Took You So Long

Did you spend your July in 2009
Chasing all of your dreams down a long way from your hometown?
Did you fall hard in some spring break bar
On a beach in Daytona, drunk on love and Corona?

What did you do with all your hours and your minutes?
Thank God they were bringing you to me, 'cause
Right when I met you, girl, my world started spinning
Time slowed down, all I could think was

What took you so long?
Where you been all my life?
What road were you on
That led your heart to mine?
Who were you before you were in my arms?
Baby, I gotta know
What took you so long?
Now I'm never letting you go

Oh, but if it had been up to me, then
We'd have met a lot sooner, but God knew what he was doing
Girl, I wasn't ready, but I'm ready now
Forever took forever, now I just wanna slow it down

What took you so long?
Where you been all my life?
What road were you on
That led your heart to mine?
Who were you before you were in my arms?
Baby, I gotta know
What took you so long?
Now I'm never letting you go

Now, every morning that I'm waking up beside you
Sunshine kissing on your skin
I can't believe that heaven ever let me find you
I've said it before, and I'll say it again

What took you so long?
Where you been all my life?
What road were you on
That led your heart to mine?
Who were you before you were in my arms?
Baby, I gotta know
What took you so long?
Now I'm never letting you go

Missing Someone

That buzz on the nightstand
Lit up my bedroom at 2:47
And I never have to
Wonder why you're calling me
A little whiskey drunk
'Cause I know you're just missing someone
You'll knock on the front door
Dance down the hallway
Fall into my bed
Like it's a Band-Aid
You'll lie down and lie to me
'Til the sun comes up
But I know you're just missing someone

You ain't tryna hurt me
Or break a heart in a hurry
No, you don't mean to use me
Like a late night lonely drug
I know you think you love me
And right now I'm all you want
But I know you're just missing someone

You'll slip your shoes on
Kiss me and head home
Walk in your kitchen
And see the note that you wrote
Signed, "Sober self, the last time," on the fridge door, hanging up
Says, "I know you're just missing someone"

No, you ain't tryna hurt me
Or break a heart in a hurry
No, you don't mean to use me
Like a late night lonely drug
I know you think you love me
And right now I'm all you want
But I know you're just missing someone

Yeah, I know
(I know, I know, I know)

Yeah, I know you think you love me
And right now I'm all you want
And dammit, I wish that I was
But I know you're just missing someone
Yeah, I know you're just missing someone

We Should Get Married

Yeah, I know that we just met
So pardon my drunk confidence
And I know you don't know me yet
But my heart skipped ten steps ahead

Yeah, you can call me crazy
But I think maybe
We should start forever right now

Oh, we should get married
Take it out to Vegas, find a little chapel
Hire us an Elvis, pink limousine, longhorns on the hood
Drinking champagne out the sunroof we could
Get you in a white dress, I could rent a cheap suit
Feed each other wedding cake, book a little honeymoon
Seven days in Paris, yeah, I'm talking Tennessee
Ain't no point in waiting, baby, I'm just saying
We should get married

Yeah, we should, oh yeah
Oh baby, we should get married, uh huh

We could stay here for one more drink
Or we could double down on some pawn shop rings
Give a heads up to your mom and dad
Or we could let 'em know when we get back

I hear the church bells ringing, the choir singing
See you walking down the aisle

We should get married
Take it out to Vegas, find a little chapel
Hire us an Elvis, pink limousine, longhorns on the hood
Drinking champagne out the sunroof we could
Get you in a white dress, I could rent a cheap suit
Feed each other wedding cake, book a little honeymoon
Seven days in Paris, yeah, I'm talking Tennessee
Ain't no point in waiting, baby, I'm just saying
We should get married

Yeah we should, oh yeah
We shouldn't even think about it
We should just do it, we should do it right now
Let me hear that guitar playin' for me one time
Uh-huh, that sounds good

We could take it nice and slow
Or we could book a flight, let's go
And if you want me to, I'll get down on one knee
One, two, three, four, wait

We should get married
Take it out to Vegas, find a little chapel
Hire us an Elvis, pink limousine, longhorns on the hood
Drinking champagne out the sunroof we could
Get you in a white dress, I could rent a cheap suit
Feed each other wedding cake, book a little honeymoon
In Paris, yeah, I'm talking Tennessee
Ain't no point in waiting, baby, I'm just saying
We should get married

Yeah baby, we should get married
Buy a house on a hill we could do it baby, me and you, yeah
Ooh, we should get married

Neon Cowgirl

I see you drinking alone
All by yourself in the corner
And that just ain't right
You should be out on the floor
The cover band singing for ya
Having the time of your life

I don't know what he did
But I can tell you this
Ain't worth the tears in your eyes

Neon cowgirl
Don't you cry
Don't you know you were born to shine
Rain stops falling
Hearts unbreak
So let that cowboy ride away
It won't be like this forever
Ain't no storm that you can't weather
Neon cowgirl
Don't you cry

That pair of boots you got on
They should be taking you dancing
Under these broadway lights
You oughta know that you're stronger
Than the drink in your hand is
So hold your head up high

Way you light up a room
Don't know what kinda fool
Could ever tell you goodbye

Neon cowgirl
Don't you cry
Don't you know you were born to shine
Rain stops falling
Hearts unbreak
So let that cowboy ride away
It won't be like this forever
Ain't no storm that you can't weather
Neon cowgirl
Don't you cry

I know it's been a while
Since you showed off your smile
And all that blue in your eyes

Neon cowgirl
Don't you cry
Don't you know you were born to shine
Rain stops falling
And hearts unbreak
So let that cowboy ride away
It won't be like this forever
Ain't no storm that you can't weather
Neon cowgirl
Don't you cry

Mmhm
Don't you cry
Neon cowgirl, don't you cry

Bigger Houses

Used to dream about buying that bigger house
Sitting on top of some hill
Losing sleep about filling my bank account
Wondering if I ever will

But the older I get, I just care less and less
'Bout keeping up with people named Jones
If you don't fill it up with somebody that you love
It ain't ever gonna feel like home

There's always gonna be a higher high
You could chase for the rest of your life
Greener grass in the yard next door
Or a shined up Chevy little newer than yours
You're never gonna fill an empty cup
If what you got's still not enough
The thing about happiness I've found is
It don't live in bigger houses

I can hear the kids making little footsteps
Running down the hallway upstairs
I can see the dogs playing in the back yard
Through the kitchen window right there

Maybe life's kinda more 'bout us swinging on a porch
Holding her while the sun disappears
Why would I wanna be anywhere else in the world
When my whole world is sitting right here?

There's always gonna be a higher high
You could chase for the rest of your life
Greener grass in the yard next door
Or a shined up Chevy little newer than yours
You're never gonna fill an empty cup
If what you got's still not enough
The thing about happiness I've found is
It don't live in bigger houses

No-no, no-no, no-no

There's always gonna be a higher high
You could chase for the rest of your life
Greener grass in the yard next door
Or a shined up Chevy little newer than yours
You're never gonna fill an empty cup
If what you got's still not enough
Thing about happiness I've found is
It don't live in bigger houses

The thing about happiness I've found is
It don't live in bigger houses
Mm-hm
