The Littlest Things - Streetlight Manifesto

The first time that he came to me

I was a young boy little did I not believe

I had a hole in my heart and I was looking for a piece that fit

The next time I was privy to

The dirty secrets, all the little hidden clues

And when I added it up, I knew a little, but a little won’t do

Can anybody ever tell me something true?

Preferably something that no one can dispute

When everybody’s spilling lifelong secrets

I’m betting safely on the man who will keep his

Despite his weakness

He’ll take his secrets to the grave

I took the medicine

But the pills won’t work

The pills they don’t do anything

But rearrange all the littlest things

And I know a little bit

But that bit won’t do

The bit I know is irrelevant

So I guess the songs I sing are irrelevant too

Though I know it’ll never ever come to this

I have a secret

And the secret is there was a lie

That I told myself 'til it became the truth

Rest assured there is a plan «B» on my mind

If all the webs I weave should ever come and unwind

But I’ve got plenty of time

I took the medicine

But the pills won’t work

The pills they don’t do anything

But rearrange all the littlest things

And I know a little bit

But that bit won’t do

The bit I know is irrelevant

So I guess this song is irrelevant too

And we will leave this all behind

So get your fill while you’re alive

And I don’t know where the lies end and the truth begins

Don’t listen to anyone telling you anything is a truth—it's all relative

I still believe

In mysteries

And all the lies

In reveries

And though they’ll lay my body in the ground

I plan to never settle down
