Little Things
Efya Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me
But bear this mind it was meant to be
And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks
And it all makes sense to me

I know you've never loved the crinkles by your eyes when you smile
You've never loved your stomach or your thighs
The dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine
But I'll love them endlessly

I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if I do, it's you, oh it's you, they add up to
I'm in love with you and all these little things

You can't go to bed without a cup of tea
Maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep
And all those conversations are the secrets that I keep
Though it makes no sense to me

I know you've never loved the sound of your voice on tape
You never want to know how much you weigh
You still have to squeeze into your jeans
But you're perfect to me

I won't let these little things slips out of my mouth
But if it's true, it's you, it's you, they add up to
I'm in love with you and all these little things

You never love yourself half as much as I love you
You'll never treat yourself right darling but I want you to
If I let you know, I'm here for you
Maybe you'll love yourself like I love you oh

I've just let these little things slip out of my mouth
Because it's you, oh it's you, it's you they add up to
And I'm in love with you (all these little things)
I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth




But if it's true, it's you, it's you they add up to
I'm in love with you, and all your little things

"When you love someone, you'll do anything
You'll do all the crazy things, that you can't explain
You'll shoot the moon, put out the sun
When you love someoneYou'll deny the truth, believe a lie
There'll be times that you'll believe, you could really fly
But your lonely nights, have just begun
When you love someoneWhen you love someone, you'll feel it deep inside
And nothin else, could ever change your mind
When you want someone, when you need someoneWhen you love someoneWhen you love someone, you'll sacrifice
You'd give it everything you got and you won't think twice
You'd risk it all, no matter what may come
When you love someone
You'll shoot the moon, put out the sun
When you love someone"
