The little things give you away
Like an ocean everywhere
(Was someone to truly look up to you)
The little things give you away
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under water, I do
The little things give you away
Washed away
Chilling rain
(All you've ever wanted)
The little things give you away
The little things give you away
The little things give you away
The little things give you away
I mean nothing to you
I mean nothing to you
The little things give you away
(All you've ever wanted)
(Was someone to truly look up to you)
(Was someone to truly look up to you)
Was someone to truly look up to you
(All you've ever wanted)
The levees are breaking
All you've ever wanted
All you've ever wanted
The little things give you away
And six feet underground, now I, now I do
The little things give you away
The little things give you away
As a nation simply stares
(Was someone to truly look up to you)
And now there will be no mistaking
The little things give you away
(All you've ever wanted)
(All you've ever wanted)
All you've ever wanted
The little things give you away
The little things give you away
The little things give you away
And six feet under water, I do
The little things give you away
Hope decays
(All you've ever wanted)
But now there will be no mistaking
Don't want to reach for me, do you?
(Was someone to truly look up to you)
Don't want to reach for me, do you?
Was someone to truly look up to you
(Was someone to truly look up to you)
The levees are breaking
Generations disappear
The little things give you away
