Little Things
Lyrics Oh Land

Caught in the little things
To distract from what
We're all wondering, wondering, 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

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…

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

I'm a 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

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?

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're 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're 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…
