Little Things
Bec Lavelle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I like the little things
like imitation diamond rings
Walking where the silver moon
is shining on the sea

I like your hand in mine
the way we leave the stars behind
I turn around and find your eyes
are shining on me

It's like dreaming
with open eyes
I never felt somebody feel like this
You're every wish I make and I
I never really knew until this night
That I've been missing you
all my life

The cheap italian restaurant
That fake Picasso that you want
the waiter when he dropped
your favourite bottle of wine
the silly photo that we took
the broken watch
the way you look
pretendingthat you'll have me home
on time

I'm still dreaming
with open eyes
I never felt somebody feel like this
You're every wish I make and I
I never really knew until this night
That I've been missing you
all my life

I'm still dreaming
with open eyes
I never felt somebody feel like this
You're every wish I make and I
I never really knew until this night
That I've been missing you
I've been missing you

I never felt somebody feel like this
You're every wish I make and I
I never really knew until this night
That I've been missing you

I never felt somebody feel like this
You're every wish I make and I




I never really knew until this night
That I've been missing you
