[Intro]
[low dark synths swelling]
Coffee cup ring on the table
Sun sneaks in through a crack in the blind
Your sleepy laugh in an old gray sweater
Yeah
That’s the reason I try
[Verse 1]
Cracked screen phone
Your name lighting up
Sidewalk chalk on torn-up jeans
Quick "you good?" in the middle of rush
Those tiny threads hold everything
[Chorus]
It’s the little things
That hit the hardest
Soft and quiet
Still they carve the farthest
In this loud life
When I can’t believe
It’s the simple that’s saving me
Yeah
The little things
They’re what matter most to me
[Verse 2]
Note on the fridge
Just "drive home safe"
Hands on the wheel
I breathe
You hum off key to a song you hate
And somehow it sets me free
[Chorus]
It’s the little things
That hit the hardest
Soft and quiet
Still they carve the farthest
In this loud life
When I can’t believe
It’s the simple that’s saving me
Yeah
The little things
They’re what matter most to me
[Bridge]
Not the big bright moments
Just the small ones I almost miss
Everything changes
With a look
With a touch
With a kiss (oh)
You teach my stubborn heart
How to finally believe like this
[Chorus]
It’s the little things
That hit the hardest
Soft and quiet
Still they carve the farthest
In this rough life
When I’m on my knees
It’s the simple that’s lifting me
Yeah
The little things
They’re what matter most to me
(yeah, the little things)
They’re what matter most to me
