The Little Things (feat. Charlie Chronopoulos)

One day I was on my own, just floating through the motions Seventeen and wandering, a kid without a plan Somehow your were there to help me find the right direction What you saw in me I know I'll never understand But you said you loved the little things No one else could see Fit my broken edges like a puzzle piece One day we were married in the yard that you grew up in Your grandpa's story held a hundred people misty eyed Every day they changes come on just a little faster It's easy to forget how hard it was to get it right Working through the little things No one else could see Searching for the notes to write our melody One day in the hospital when everything upended A baby girl with eyes like summer twilight in my arms A couple years of chaos and a sister came to join her With fire in her spirit and stained glass in her heart I find you in those little things No one else can see Patterns in the branches of our history One day one of us will wake up in this bed half empty And have to keep on living out beyond the life we made I couldn't say which side of that divide I'd rather wait on But if I go before you, know I loved you all my days I'll find you in the little things No one else can see Holding to the corners of your memory One day when the atoms that were me have decomposed And the ones that made up you are out there drifting through the sky I like to think we'll meet again out there among the stardust Two pieces in a molecule, together like old times
