Big Decision Lyrics by Elliott Smith

New Moon

2007

Pick me up in an hour or so
I don't really recommend it, no
They'll probably just put you down
I believe you
I wanna be you
I believe you
I wanna be you
No, I’m not through with it yet
It's a big decision
You can't kick when you're down

Got a feeling kind of like a cough
Ain't nothing gonna shake it off
Ain't nothing gonna shake it off
Until you talk out loud
I believe you
I wanna be you
I believe you
I wanna be you
No, I’m not through with it yet
It's a big decision
You can't kick when you're down

The chromium car reflects who you are taking you home
I'm under your spell
Can't you tell?
Don't you know?

Got people wondering if they're sick
Spilled out on the city slick
Puffed up like a macho jerk
Don't even try it, it'll never work
While you wonder what you wanted from me
While you wonder what you wanted from me
While you want what I cannot be
You know I won't stay sober

I believe you
I wanna be you
I believe you
I wanna be you
I know you're not through with it yet
It's a big decision
I know you're not through with it yet
It's a big decision
I know you're not through with it yet
It's a big decision

You can't kick when you're down
