Littlething

It's how I've often felt

When I find myself on nights like these,

Like Christmas Eve

From the empty office window

To the street outside

It's everything not to call

And find out why



It's just a little thing

Buried in the other things

Burning away, from inside

Would you stay with me tonight?

There's a quiet dream

I'm not supposed to think

Eating away at my mind

Could you be with me tonight?



On the cab ride you said nothing

Just hair all in your face

But I was scared to name it

And nothing changed

So I walked 'til I just couldn't

Too late I understood

It was always half invented

But the other half was good



It's just a little thing

Buried in the other things

Burning away, from inside

Would you stay with me tonight?

And there's a quiet dream

I'm not supposed to think

Eating away at my mind

Could you be with me tonight?



And there was just a little thing

Buried in the other things

Burning away, from inside

Would you stay with me tonight?

And there's a quiet dream

I know I shouldn't think

Eating away at my mind

Could you be with me tonight?



It's just a little thing

Buried in the other things

Burning away, from inside

Would you stay with me tonight?

And there's a quiet dream

I know I shouldn't think

Eating away at my mind

Stay with me tonight
