Big Nuthin'

I was on a TV show

that everybody said

would change the course of my life that night

by the time I went to bed

tinkling glass and candlelight

your look of tenderness

I was full of cozy hope

sweet taste of success

it was a big nuthin'

you don't have to cross the street

when you see me comin'

too much trouble

so the the love we think is lost

things that never happened

stranger

it was a big nuthin'

late last night we argued

when you weren't there

all o' my disappointment

screamed into the air

just about to fall into

the deep hole that I dug

saw myself ascending (pretending)

with a shovel and a shrug

it was a big nuthin'

I guess I just never knew how big nuthin' could be
