Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can take a hard rain
I can take a slammed door
I can take a long drive
With my jaw to the floor
But one little look
From across the room
And I’m laying in the dust
Like I never knew how
[Pre-Chorus]
It ain’t the big fall
That knocks me flat
It’s a crooked smile
And a flannel sleeve back
A single soft word
A hand on my arm
And my whole old heart
Just goes off the chart
[Chorus]
It’s the little things
They break me in two
The little things
I can’t get through
A coffee cup spin
A laugh in the hall
Little things
They’re the ones that get me all
(Yeah, the little things)
(They get me all)
[Verse 2]
A porch light glowin’
On a worn-out step
Your boots by the mat
And your hair half wet
That front-porch hello
That stays in my mind
Turns a grown man shaky
Every single time
[Pre-Chorus]
It ain’t the loud truth
It ain’t the shout
It’s the quiet way
You turn my world out
One brush of your hand
One glance my way
And I lose my footing
Like I’m made of clay
[Chorus]
It’s the little things
They break me in two
The little things
I can’t get through
A coffee cup spin
A laugh in the hall
Little things
They’re the ones that get me all
(Yeah, the little things)
(They get me all)
[Bridge]
I used to swear
I was hard to shake
Built like a barn wall
Built to never break
Then you blinked at me
And I knew the score
I’m struck down clean
By the smallest war
[Chorus]
It’s the little things
They break me in two
The little things
I can’t get through
A coffee cup spin
A laugh in the hall
Little things
They’re the ones that get me all
(Yeah, the little things)
(They get me all)
