Mr. Big

My life's in my pocket
But there's a hole in my pocket
Fate with a twist
Gone is the magic
It's kind of tragic
Oh no, but it is what it is
I go through the motions
Like a fish in the ocean
Thrown around by the tide
I remember the taste
An angel's kiss on my face
A giant crack in the sky

Still I wonder when my day comes
Another chance to get it right

My world gets blown wide open
My skin is bigger than me
I'm back in the white light baby
The stars are raining and I forget to breathe
It's a raining and I forget to breathe
It's amazing and I forget to breathe

There's a clock on my shoulder
Taking me over
Tying my hands
A chronic condition
But a break in the rhythm uh
It's like I never left
I go through the motions
Like a fish in the ocean
Thrown around by the tide
I remember the taste
An angel's kiss on my face
Higher than the Fourth Of July

Still I wonder when my day comes
Another chance to get it right

My world gets blown wide open
My skin is bigger than me
I'm back in the white light baby
The stars are raining and I forget to breathe
It's a raining and I forget to breathe
It's amazing and I forget to breathe
I forget to breathe

Oh, my heart gets torn wide open
And it's a soul emotion I forget to breathe

I remember, yeah, that kiss on my face
Still I wonder when my day comes
And I'm back in the race
Come on!

My world gets blown wide open
My skin is bigger than me
I'm back in the white light baby
Where the stars are raining and I forget to breathe
It's a raining and I forget to breathe
It's amazing I forget to breathe
And I forget to breathe
I forget to breathe
Whoah oh ho

Mr. Big is an American hard rock supergroup formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1988. The band was originally composed of Eric Martin (lead vocals), Paul Gilbert (guitar, backing vocals), Billy Sheehan (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Pat Torpey (drums, percussion, backing vocals). They are noted especially for their music, and have scored a number of hits. Their songs are often marked by strong vocals and vocal harmonies. Their hits include “To Be with You” (a number-one single in 15 countries in 1992) and “Just Take My Heart”. The band takes its name from a song by Free, which it covered on the 1993 album Bump Ahead.

Mr. Big remained active and popular for over a decade despite internal conflicts and changing music trends, releasing four studio Mr. Big (1989), Lean into It (1991), Bump Ahead (1993) and Hey Man (1996). Guitarist Paul Gilbert departed the band in 1999, and Richie Kotzen was brought as a guitarist and vocalist. The band released two more albums with this Get Over It (1999) and Actual Size (2001). Mr. Big broke up in 2002.

Following requests from fans, Mr. Big reunited with its original line-up in 2009. The band’s first post-reunion tour was in Japan. In 2010, Mr. Big released its first album in 15 years with the same What If…. During the recording of the follow-up album …The Stories We Could Tell (2014), Pat Torpey was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and participated only marginally as a drum producer and touring support. The band’s ninth album, Defying Gravity (2017), was its last record involving Torpey; he died the following year. Not wanting to continue without Torpey, the band intends to release a final studio album, conduct a farewell tour and disband.
