Little Things

[Verse 1] I found a paper clip parade On a blue-laced sidewalk One bent soldier, silver-gray Spinning in the sun A bakery bag blew past my shoes With cinnamon on the seam Then a kid in red rain boots Saluted like a queen [Pre-Chorus] And I laughed out loud At nothing much Just the way The whole day rushed [Chorus] Little things, little things Keep the sky from falling Little things, little things Catch my name when I'm calling One bent clip, one red shoe One good sign, one okay Little things, little things Make the whole world stay [Verse 2] At the corner store, the buzzer sang A cracked old welcome tune The cashier slid me two green apples And a receipt that smelled like glue Outside, a dog chased falling leaves Like they owed him money I stood there with my hands in my pockets Feeling weirdly lucky [Pre-Chorus] And I saw it clear In the cluttered street Joy can hide In plain repeat [Chorus] Little things, little things Keep the sky from falling Little things, little things Catch my name when I'm calling One bent clip, one red shoe One good sign, one okay Little things, little things Make the whole world stay [Bridge] Half-time A chipped blue mug A bent-back spoon A note on the fridge Says I'll get through No grand parade Just bread and rain But look at me I sing it again [Chorus] Little things, little things Keep the sky from falling Little things, little things Catch my name when I'm calling One bent clip, one red shoe One good sign, one okay Little things, little things Make the whole world stay [Outro] Little things, little things Yeah, I’m okay Little things, little things Make the whole world stay
