[Verse 1]
You call me up
"you home?"
I hear that edge in your tone
Like you're already in the car
Just in case things go too far
You roll your eyes at my fear
But you still stand right here
Arms crossed at every door
Daring the world to want more
[Chorus]
Big sister
Big heart
You guard me like a secret
You say I'm too much
But I know you really mean it
All our dumb inside jokes
All the late-night screaming laughter
You make me feel so wanted
That's the only thing that matters
Big sister
Big heart
Beats loud
Beats hard
Beats faster
[Verse 2]
You roast me in front of friends (yeah)
Then glare at anybody else who dares to pretend
That they can talk the way you talk
You push me forward when I'd rather walk
You steal my fries
Steal my hoodies too
Say they're yours
'cause I came from you
I bite back
But I never forget
Every soft thing you don't say yet
[Chorus]
Big sister
Big heart
You guard me like a secret
You say I'm too much
But I know you really mean it
All our dumb inside jokes
All the late-night screaming laughter
You make me feel so wanted
That's the only thing that matters
Big sister
Big heart
Beats loud
Beats hard
Beats faster
[Bridge]
Who was there at the school gate waiting?
Who was pacing when the phone stopped ringing?
Who stood up when I fell apart?
You
With that stubborn
Shaking heart (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Big sister
Big heart
You guard me like a secret
You say I'm too much
But I know you really mean it
All our dumb inside jokes
All the late-night screaming laughter
You make me feel so wanted
That's the only thing that matters
Big sister
Big heart
Stay loud
Stay hard
Stay faster
