The Littlest Things Songtext
von Streetlight Manifesto

The first time that it 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 privvy to,
The dirty secrets, all the little hidden clues.
But when I added it up I knew a little but a little won′t do.

Can anybody out there tell me something true?
Preferably something that no one can dispute.
When everybody's spilling life long secrets,
I′m betting safely on the 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)
Go get your fill while you′re alive.
(Don′t you ever let them take you alive)
I don't know where the lies end and the truth begins.
Don′t listen to anyone telling you anything isn't true,
It′s all relative.


Though I know it'll never ever come to this,
I have a secret, and that secret is,
There was a lie that I told myself ′til it became the truth.

And rest assured I have a plan B in my mind,
If all the webs I weave should ever come unwind,
But I've got plenty of time.

Can anybody out there tell me something true?
Preferably something that no one can dispute.
When everybody's spilling life long secrets,
I′m betting safely on the 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)
Go get your fill while you′re alive.
(Don't you ever let them take you alive)
I don′t know where the lies end and the truth begins.
Don't listen to anyone telling you anything isn′t true,
It's all relative.

I still believe in mysteries,
And normal lives in memories.
And though they're laying my body in the ground,
I 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 little things.
And I know a little bit, but that bit won't do.
The bit I know is irrelevent, so I guess this song is irrelevent too, oh.)
