[Verse 1]
Your lips burn against my skin
Appease the cold within me
If only I could zoom out
And still stay with you
Because I want to take it slowly
And you want to live fast
If we can look far ahead
We will catch up
[Chorus]
If we can be bigger
Bigger than we have ever imagined
If we can think longer
Longer than we have ever done
We let the Earth spin, the time go
See us from the moon then we can understand
One day when we are bigger
Then it would maybe hurt a little less
[Verse 2]
They say everything that is beautiful has an end
Damn, then we have to come to an end soon
But if we pretend what we have is ugly
Maybe we can continue
Because I want to take it slowly
And you want to live fast
But one day, sometime, slowly
We will both have a place
[Chorus]
If we can be bigger
Bigger than we have ever imagined
If we can think longer
Longer than we have ever done
We let the Earth spin, the time go
See us from the moon then we can understand
One day when we are bigger
Then it would maybe hurt a little less
[Bridge]
For now, we go our separate ways1
But it is going to collapse on the floor2
We must stop to start again
Build something important, we are for real
But we're just not ready yet
We have to die now to live later
One day when we are better
Then we can be the best thing that has ever happened
[Chorus 2]
Because we are much bigger
Bigger than we have ever imagined
And we are going to go further
Further than we have ever done
We let the Earth spin, the time go
See us from the moon then we can understand
One day when we are bigger
Then it will surely be a lot less
A lot less painful
[Outro]
Only we can be, only we can be
Only we can be bigger than
Only we can be, only we can be
Only we can be bigger than
