Mason Jennings - Little Details lyrics

rate me

There's no street lamps on the road i take I'm not blessed with brakes I've got no place to be The things i love always get up and go Like they're late for a show Well, late they'll always be 'cause it's the little details that derail your dreams As simple as it seems The separate little things that you should have done Define your life, honey, one by one I may be living but I'll die for an end With no money to spend There'll be no treasure to find 'cause nothing I do ever seems to get done A lot of things get begun but then they slip my mind It's the little details that derail your dreams As simple as it seems The separate little things that you should have done They define your life, honey, one by one I've tried to run, but there ain't nowhere to run Tried to hide, but there ain't nowhere to hide I've looked for peace, honey, peace could not be found I've done myself wrong and put my anchor down And happiness, happiness is up in the hills You can take your dollar bills or you can leave 'em behind And emptiness, emptiness is up in my head All the books that i've read just cleaned out my mind It's the little details that derail your dreams As simple as it seems The separate little things that you should have done They define your life, honey, one by one I've tried to run, but there ain't nowhere to run Tried to hide, but there ain't nowhere to hide I've looked for peace, honey, peace could not be found I've done myself wrong and put my anchor down Well the truth is this: i don't care if i belong When there's all these stupid songs are on the radio
