Bright Lights, Big City movie - So Many Little Things lyrics
rate me<br>
Jamie:<br>
The rain on the porch of our house in Box County<br>
The warmth of the folks by the fire inside<br>
The hammock I swung on while figuring out<br>
The world was too wide<br>
That I never fit in, hidden from you<br>
Mommy, always on the outside looking in<br>
So many little things<br>
So many little things<br>
I misplaced my keys<br>
The balance of my checkbook is never what it seems<br>
So much tiny trivia<br>
Like the color of my socks at school<br>
Like those vicious little finger<br>
Pointing out my otherness<br>
So many little things<br>
So many little things<br>
Back at our apartment<br>
The memories lurk like dust balls<br>
In the corner of her closet I find bits of satin<br>
Strewn around Manhattan<br>
So many little tings<br>
Records on the stereo<br>
Elvis Costello<br>
<br>
Jamie and Ensemble:<br>
I know the world is killing you<br>
<br>
Jamie:<br>
So many little things<br>
So many little things<br>
At least the big things declare open combat on you<br>
No sniping from the trees<br>
Or days like these<br>
So many little things<br>
I misplaced my keys<br>
I don’t wanna go home<br>
Who needs the memories?<br>
I listen for the echo<br>
Of a melancholy silence<br>
The presence of her absence<br>
Shrieks and moans<br>
And says<br>
So many little things<br>
So many little things<br>
Tonight I should stay home with some comfort food and some Family Feud<br>
‘So Jamie, for $10,000 what could you have said to your mother<br>
Before she died?’<br>
So many little things<br>
<br>
<br>
