[Intro] [Verse 1] Caught the light turning green at a quarter past six Wrote it down in the margin, in the pencil, in the mix Found a folded dollar in a coat from years ago Little checkmark, little checkmark, in the only book I know [Pre-Chorus] Don't ask about the rent, don't ask about the chair I'm keeping careful count of all the ways I'm still right here [Chorus] Small victories, small victories I stack them up like sandbags on the shelf Small victories, small victories Proof I didn't lose the whole thing to myself The jar came open, the bus came right on time Give me the little ones, the little ones, and I'll be fine [Verse 2] Won an argument with nobody at two or three AM Named the actor 'fore the credits, and I named him right again Barista drew a star, spelled my name a little wrong A little gold, a little gold, enough to move along [Pre-Chorus] Don't do the subtraction, don't you total up the year I'm keeping careful count of all the ways I'm still right here [Chorus] Small victories, small victories I stack them up like sandbags on the shelf Small victories, small victories Proof I didn't lose the whole thing to myself The jar came open, the bus came right on time Give me the little ones, the little ones, and I'll be fine [Bridge] There's a scoreboard somewhere I'm too scared to read The big lights and the loud crowd and the game I couldn't win But down here in the margins, in the crumbs and the lead I'm undefeated, I'm undefeated, at the little things [Instrumental solo] [Final Chorus] Small victories, small victories I'll frame them like a medal made of dust Small victories, small victories It ain't nothing, it ain't nothing, but it's enough The jar came open, the light turned green in time Give me the little ones, the little ones, I'll call it mine [Outro]
