The Little Things ft. Charlie Chronopoulos Lyrics

One day I was on my own, just floating through the motions

Seventeen and wandering, a kid without a plan

Somehow your were there to help me find the right direction

What you saw in me I know I'll never understand

But you said you loved the little things

No one else could see

Fit my broken edges like a puzzle piece

One day we were married in the yard that you grew up in

Your grandpa's story held a hundred people misty eyed

Every day they changes come on just a little faster

It's easy to forget how hard it was to get it right

Working through the little things

No one else could see

Searching for the notes to write our melody

One day in the hospital when everything upended

A baby girl with eyes like summer twilight in my arms

A couple years of chaos and a sister came to join her

With fire in her spirit and stained glass in her heart

I find you in those little things

No one else can see

Patterns in the branches of our history

One day one of us will wake up in this bed half empty

And have to keep on living out beyond the life we made

I couldn't say which side of that divide I'd rather wait on

But if I go before you, know I loved you all my days

I'll find you in the little things

No one else can see

Holding to the corners of your memory

One day when the atoms that were me have decomposed

And the ones that made up you are out there drifting through the sky

I like to think we'll meet again out there among the stardust

Two pieces in a molecule, together like old times
