Big Plans Lyrics
Work all day, work all night
Might not get no sleep tonight
Baby, can you stay up?
We could talk, we could dance
Don't matter the circumstance
We don't let it change us
[Pre-Chorus: Corbyn Besson]
That's the beautiful thing about us
'Fore all the diamonds and rings, we got trust
Roll with me, get it right, faded on a summer night
Let's see where it takes us
[Chorus: Zach Herron & All]
I got real big plans, baby, for you and me
So love me for who I am and for who I'm gonna be
Ain't got everything you want, but got everything you need
So take a chance, take a chance on me
I got real big plans, baby, for you and me
So love me for who I am and for who I'm gonna be
Ain't got everything you want, but got everything you need
So take a chance, take a chance on me
[Post-Chorus: Zach Herron & Jack Avery]
I got real big plans
Hold up, hold up, baby
I got real big plans
Hold up, hold up, baby
Know you're tired, know you're down
Know you wanna leave this town
Baby, give me one year, yeah
Take my hand, take a leap
Girl, you gotta wait and see
Where I take it from here
[Pre-Chorus: Corbyn Besson, All]
That's the beautiful thing about you
I know that you'd do the same in my shoes
Never switch, never stop, I could see us at the top
Girl, why don't we go there?
[Chorus: Zach Herron & All]
I got real big plans, baby, for you and me
So love me for who I am and for who I'm gonna be
Ain't got everything you want, but got everything you need
So take a chance, take a chance on me
I got real big plans, baby, for you and me
So love me for who I am and for who I'm gonna be
Ain't got everything you want, but got everything you need
So take a chance, take a chance on me
[Post-Chorus: Zach Herron & Jack Avery, Daniel Seavey]
I got real big plans
Hold up, hold up, baby (Oh)
I got real big plans
Hold up, hold up, baby
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Take a chance on
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Just take a chance on
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Take a chance on
Take a chance on me
[Chorus: Zach Herron & Jack Avery, Daniel Seavey]
I got real big plans, baby, for you and me
So love me for who I am and for who I'm gonna be
Ain't got everything you want, but got everything you need (Baby)
So take a chance, take a chance on me
[Post-Chorus: Zach Herron & Jack Avery, Corbyn Besson, Jonah Marais]
I got real big plans
Hold up, hold up, baby (Take a chance on me)
I got real big plans (Take a chance on me)
Hold up, hold up, baby
[Outro: Zach Herron]
I got real big plans

The first indication of the song’s release was when the band posted on their Instagram account on January 15th, 2019.
The post was a video filmed a month prior and contained audio from the song’s chorus.
Prior to that, however, the band had already started referencing the song title in the caption of another post on December 21st, 2018:
…We’re taking a little bit of a break from social media but don’t worry… we got BIG PLANS for 2019
One day before the release of “Big Plans,” the band posted the following to their Instagram page:
We were hanging out in the back of the bus, driving through another state on our way to the next show and listening back to the mix of our next song. These are the moments we live for. A lot of the people in the industry have told us that we have to sound a certain way, or look a certain way in order to be successful but that’s not how we want to do things. We make music we love so we can share it with you. That’s what this song means to us. That’s what we’ve got planned this year for you… ⅟₁₂
