The Small Things

Story Behind The Song

I think one of the keys to a successful life is to not be afraid of dying. To come to terms with this life. This can let us live in true freedom. Because we understand that we are not in control, and life is a gift in the first place.

Lyrics

Its the small things that we like to keep our heads around
From one small thing on to the next one

Don't mind if I do put myself before you
We think that's love but it's the furthest thing

Don't you want to live
Don't you want to die
Are you lost somewhere between
Open your eyes

When you're wrong go ahead and tell the world you're wrong
Then you'll find love and that's the most living thing

On those beautiful days when your heart is free
That's not something to take lightly

Don't you want to live
Don'tyou want to die
With your head off the small things
Look straight up to the sky
