Little Things

Caught in the little things

To distract from what

We’re all wondering

What will be there to protect us?

We’re sorry, we are closed, rushing

Paperbacks are torn, traffic

Red lights blinking

I won’t make it tonight

And my lips are closing now, kiss me

Eyes that shut me out

Embracing day after day, working it out

(chorus)

Caught up in the little things

To distract from what

We’re all wondering, wondering, wondering

Why are we here in the first place

Tiny little cars down there

It’s a long fall

We’re all wondering, wondering, wondering

What will be there to protect us

It’s the little things

It’s the little things

It’s the little things

It’s the little things

And I scream against the wind, hear me

Will you leave it in my hands, count me in

Story is mine, live it

I’ll jump for your life

Imma 2 steps from the stairs up to my baby

Gonna toss out all the doubt

‘Cause I am ready

I’m a little late, ‘cause lately I’ve been aching

And I know that I’ve been all around

But you’ve got me all now

(chorus)

Caught up in the little things

I didn’t sleep much! And did I do enough?

To distract from what

Will a hurricane sweep us? Into the dark blue cloud above

We are all wondering, wondering, wondering

And am I able to be a wife and a friend and a rebel

Why are we here in the first place

Settle down and live in a fable. Peter Pan lost at the pool table

Tiny little cars down there

Am I looking for trouble? Seeing stars in the Hubble?

It’s a long fall

We are all wondering, wondering, wondering

I’m forever so blind in this puzzle

What will be there to protect us

It’s the little things, little things, little things…..
