Streetlight Manifesto - The Littlest Things

 

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 by 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 I?m a man who will keep his
Despite his weakness
He?ll take his secrets to the grave

And we will leave it all
Don?t ever leave anyone you love behind
?
Don?t you ever let them take you alive

And I don?t know where the lies end and the truth begins
Don?t listen to anyone telling you anything isn?t true 'cause it?s all relative

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 till it became the truth

Rest assured it will blend beyond my mind
If all the webs I weave should ever come and unwind
But I?ve got plenty of time

(Refrão)

I still believe
In mysteries
And all the lies
It never ends

And all their lame are rotting in their ground
Our plan to never settle down

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
