that lately his life wasn't up to par
She was always on the phone
or driving kids round in the car
There were wrappers on the dashboard
No, lately his life just wasn't up to par
He was driving home from work,
it had been too long a night
trying to pass him on the right
So he floored it doing 65
Just trying to get back home

And it's the little things
that get you a little out of time
It's the Monday morning mirror,
it's the keys that you can't find

and you know they're really trying
and you feel just like you're blind
And you wonder why you ever

All those little things that got you

I was minding my own business
when I smelled the memory
And I tried but could not place it,
it was sad but it was sweet
And I wondered what had happened
I was minding my own business
when I smelled the memory

And I think I'll say I'm sorry
and this time I'll really try
Cause we're all just navigating
all the craving and the crimes
And we really shouldn't let
it clutter up our little minds
And the little things that get me through
It's the little things that get you through
It's the magic in the moment
when you laugh instead of cry
It's the bright red of a cardinal,
it's the twinkle in the eye
It's the little things that get you through
It's the little things that get you a
