Lyrics
Little Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When they closed down the restaurants, boarded up the bars
We moved out of the city, bought a second hand car
Tried to figure out standing still, for the first time in a long, long time
And cut back on the sleeping pills, and the overkill, and the over time
I guess that this little life
Is going to have to do
It's only a little life
Mostly just me and you
We're trying out a little life
To see where it leads
Maybe a little life
Is all that we need
Now we live on a quiet street, half an hour from the train station
Getting used to things we didn't choose, and the local news, new frustrations
Finding ways to work with them, and to make new friends, make it work out for the best
And let go of the life we left, and the bitterness and the tension in my chest
I guess that this little life
Is going to have to do
It's only a little life
Mostly just me and you
We're trying out a little life
To see where it leads
Maybe a little life
Is all that we need
And every day I try to make sure I
Can bring you a little surprise
To help you appreciate
Our little fate
Some oyster shells I found down on the beach
Where I heard the mermaids singing
Each to each and to you and me
A song about anxiety
Getting washed away by the sea
I made a promise I intend to keep
A promise of a little life
Just me and you
It's only a little life
But I think it will do
Let's find love in our little life
And see where it leads
Maybe a little life
Is all that we need
