All the Small Things
♫ Blink 182 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All the small things
True care truth brings
I'll take one lift
Your ride best trip
Always I know
You'll be at my show
Watching, waiting, commiserating
Say it ain't so, I will not go
Turn the lights off, carry me home
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Late night, come home
Work sucks, I know
She left me roses by the stairs
Surprises let me know she cares

Say it ain't so, I will not go
Turn the lights off, carry me home
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Say it ain't so, I will not go
Turn the lights off, carry me home
Keep your head still, I'll be your thrill
The night will go on, my little windmill

Say it ain't so, I will not go
Turn the lights off, carry me home
Keep your head still, I'll be your thrill
The night will go on




The night will go on
My little windmill

Removing the music shows the absolute absurdity of these videos and how strange it all becomes without that point of reference. I find myself feeling for the camerapeople who had to record some of these videos! I applaud everything you guys do!

I love how they snuck in that backstreet boys song on that one scene. LOL
