Mayday Parade - Until You're Big Enough Lyrics






Troubled youth
Got the blues
Take a walk in those shoes
See how they fit for a while
I can bend
It's all pretend
It's just fake until you mean it
And one day you'll mean it for real

Here's to new beginnings
And starting over
When you hope all's forgiven
It's best not to ask for awhile
I believe some can see how to strike when it's red hot
And crumble the castle walls

If I bite the hook would you tell me I'm wrong?
You speak like a man who believes he's got no destiny
He's content
A trouble so great that you shouldn't have gone through
With a clarity I've never seen
I will build you up until you're big enough to take me out

I told you we'd see it through
But you don't believe
And that's the part that kills me
(And that's the part)
Promise me, promise me you will

If I bite the hook would you tell me I'm wrong?
You speak like a man who believes he's got no destiny
He's content
A trouble so great that you shouldn't have gone through
With a clarity I've never seen
I will build you up until you're big enough to pick me up

Mayday Parade Until You're Big Enough Comments
  1. J.... B....

    My favorite band + My Favorite song = Happy Me ... Can't wait for Warped Tour

  2. D.... T....

    my literal childhood band. its been years and I'm back being the one i used to be, the girl who's so in love with music as this that helps her throughout the day, live within the lyrics and know that she can get through just about anything.

  3. J.... I....

    one man drinking games and 12 through 15 fusion

  4. f.... ....

    looking forward to any movies to use this song in scenes

  5. A.... R....

    I will build you up until you're big enough..to pick me up.

  6. D.... M....

    It's just fake until you mean. One day, you'll mean it for real... 😔

  7. P.... A....

    different but still amazing. <3

  8. A.... v....

    ❤️ jfc I love them so much.
    I hope they come to Houston again soon ❣❣

  9. M.... E....

    Reminds me of their song 12 through 15... And yeah... their songs never failed to make me cry.

  10. M.... T....

    I bought the album. Guilty. My Favorite Songs on it are "Until Your Big Enough" and "Just Out Of Reach". Troubled Youth, Got The Blues. ♥♥♥

  11. A.... T....

    this song makes me cry every time

  12. H.... C....

    I need a music video!

  13. A.... A....

    If I bite the hook would you tell me I'm wrong?
    Speak like a man who believes he's got no destiny
    He's content
    Troubles so great that you shouldn't have gone through
    With a clarity I've never seen
    I will build you up until you're big enough
    To take me home"

    Can someone tell me what's the meaning of these lines?

    A.... A....

    +akmal rollins using genius.com as a reference for this:
    the first three lines tell are about when he start saying to others that he wants to kill himself, they tell him he’s wrong, like they really believe that everything will be okay. the next two show that he suddenly sees the truth in all the pain that he’s felt and how he made it seem so much worse than it really was. the last two show that he decides to start trying to get better until he’s strong enough to be able to care for himself as well as others.

    A.... A....

    +yumiko Thanks, wow . What a song . Deep, deep meaning

    A.... A....

    +yumiko Wow, I had a whole theory on this song thinking the lyrics were "I will build you up till you're big enough to take me out (and then pick me up)" talked about self confidence and feeling of self worth, and how he will build this second version of himself up until he destroys his old self...this actually ties in with the beginning of the song that says "And one day you'll mean it for real". Guess I heard what I wanted to hear lol

    A.... A....

    +Kostas1601 my theory is that this whole album talks about friendship,relationship & conflicts as a whole. if you may notice by the track, it starts to crumble but by the last 4 tracks it starts to recover and give hope and meaning to the three words i said earlier.

  14. a.... r....

    This album reminds me of songs that they would play on Life Is Strange.

  15. C.... M....

    sounds like hold on to me with one man drinking games. awesome

  16. A.... H....

  23. E.... E....

    Welcome...

  39. S.... O....

    It's like 12 Through 15 style guitar with One Man Drinking Games. This song is nice.

  40. M.... R....

    their cover is meant to have three lines for an m and two for a p right

    M.... R....

    +Aquatic Ink this is a revelation

    M.... R....

    +Aquatic Ink you da man

  41. D.... A....

    This is my favorite from their new album. :) Love the words to this song.

  42. T.... L....

    Huh. Well:)

  43. A.... L....

    Chills alert: 1:10

  44. p.... t....

    holy shit how are we all so early there are 16 comments

  45. S.... K....

    one man drinking games part 2

    S.... K....

    +A Blue Green Earth honestly I didn't even realize that was Jason in One Man Drinking Games...but I was actually more referring to the actual melody and guitar work and overall storyline.

    S.... K....

    @A Blue Green Earth haha that is your opinion, then. I like derek singing ballad. But he really should do his 'desperate screaming'. Its very like, giving a goosebump but seriously his screaming doesnt remind me of jason. And one man drinking games, listen to the live ones. Its better.

    S.... K....

    +Syukri Roslan I did listen to the live versions of transmogrification and one of them will destroy the other, and I can already here them losing their voices because this style of singing is not sustainable.

    S.... K....

    no wonder i like it so much XD

    S.... K....

    Olivia Waldroup same lol. thanks for replying with something positive xD

  46. V.... J....

    So much love for this new album. Mayday parade never fail to impress!!!

  47. k.... ....

    The guitar solo in the background slightly sounds like One Man Drinking Games

    k.... ....

    So true :D

    k.... ....

    +k_aatherine I thought the same thing.

    k.... ....

    +k_aatherine The riff is like a mix of that and the intro of Call Me Hopeless, Not Romantic

    k.... ....

    +k_aatherine Me to

    k.... ....

    Sounds like 12 Though 15

  48. R.... W....
