Small Things

The best things in life are small
Like a lap dog jumping on your leg
A phone call from your Ma and Pa
Or a text message from an old friend

A good book in the afternoon
With the sun shining on your backyard
A good movie in your bed at night
While the rain outside is falling hard

Now it's the small things that keep you going
It's the small things that get you high
It's the small things that keep you going
When life wants to pass you by

It's a quick visit with the ones you love
A slow walk while the sun is going down
A long drive and a longer hug
A nice chat out in front of your house

Pink clouds hanging in the sky
Cold sand sticking in between your toes
A card game in the dead of night
Or quoting lines from your favorite show

Now it's the small things that keep you going
It's the small things that get you high
It's the small things that keep you going
When life wants to pass you by

Take it away, me

It's your favorite record playing nice and loud
In your room at the end of the day
A quiet house with nobody around
That you fill with the songs you wanna play

A punk show in somebody's yard
At the end of the summer with your friends
A little cabin or a birthday card
A long day that you never want to end

Now it's the small things that keep you going
It's the small things that get you high
It's the small things that keep you going
When life wants to pass you by

Now it's the small things that keep you going
It's the small things that get you high
It's the small things that keep you going
When life wants to pass you by
