Little Life
Emilee Lyrics
Living in this small town
Where everybody knows my name
Familiar faces all around
I put a smile on my face
But they don′t see it
Can't see I wanna get away
I′m walking down the same road
As I did when I was three
Don't even wanna go homeI just wish that I could leave
And see the big world
And find who I'm supposed to be
But that was high school me
Now I′m a thousand miles away
From what used to be
The home I wanted to escape
We always want what we don′t have
So if I went back in time
I'd tell high school me
To enjoy the little life
Time flies by as the cool kids cry
′Cause we always thought we wanted more
Football games and the things we'd hate
Are now just memories we′re searching for
I can feel it coming now
That feeling when I hit the ground
It's something that I felt before
Time just keeps on going by
Now it makes me wanna cry
′Cause I won't be there anymore
Where everybody knows my name
Familiar faces all around
I put a smile on my face
But they don′t see it
Can't see I wanna get away
I′m walking down the same road
As I did when I was three
Don't even wanna go homeI just wish that I could leave
And see the big world
And find who I'm supposed to be
But that was high school me
Now I′m a thousand miles away
From what used to be
The home I wanted to escape
We always want what we don′t have
So if I went back in time
I'd tell high school me
To enjoy the little life
Time flies by as the cool kids cry
′Cause we always thought we wanted more
Football games and the things we'd hate
Are now just memories we′re searching for
I can feel it coming now
That feeling when I hit the ground
It's something that I felt before
Time just keeps on going by
Now it makes me wanna cry
′Cause I won't be there anymore

You underestimate despair---or, rather, you hastily mistake language.
Which is the more attractive?
- hopelessly knowing happiness
- hopefully knowing happiness
Consider that words-in-context create meanings---plural---both intentions & ramifications...
(1) despair (word) = hopelessness
(2) despair of knowing happiness (context)
Consider that context is a feat of coordination...
(3) hyperbole = exaggeration (oft negative)
e.g. I'm dying out here; Ya killing me
(4) "contranymic" hyperbole = emphasis (only positive)
e.g. wicked fun, bad(arse) time, funky groove, stanky beat, terrible symmetry; awfully good
(5) Reflect. Then, re-read.

How
Would you have me described?
With light?
With words you think I'd like?
If I
Found out that I could fight
Would I
Take you out tonight?
A little bit more
A little bit less
A little bit harder than I thought they said
A little bit fine
A little bit stressed
A little bit older than I thought I'd get
But, I
I think I like this little life
This little life
I think I like this little life
This silly little life
Eyes
Smiling over candles
Mismatched chairs
Arms crossing where those hands go
It's loud
But that volume makes my heart glow
And time
Isn't real as the sun goes
Oh, oh, oh
A little bit more
A little bit less
A little bit harder than I thought they said
A little bit fine
A little bit stressed
A little bit older than I thought I'd get
But, I
I think I like this little life
Coming up short
Never quite knowing what for
Being a lost cause all the same
Hey-ey-ey
But you and I both
I look in those eyes and I know
That nothing is sure
But I don't know if that hurts me anymore
A little bit more
A little bit less
A little bit harder than I thought they said
A little bit fine
A little bit stressed
A little bit older than I thought I'd get
But, I
Yeah, I
Yeah, I
I think I like this little life
This little life
I think I like this little life
This silly little life

This song feels like when life gets hard but then you see something simple like the sun coming through the window, or a group of friends laughing and you think, life is worth it, for those little magical moments
@BarefootWandrer
I love that you appreciate those things

cornball 🤣
@ЕленаПрекрасная-м8и
Да,именно так.Жизнь ,наверно,и есть эти моменты.
@Voided_Offical
For me though…life ain’t worth it it’s too hard for me I can’t…

@@johnathenrulean6664don’t describe yourself like that, you can change.

I love this song so much. It feels like it's realising the beauty of simplicity. I'm twenty two and I grew up let's just say roughly, I spent my teenage years in and out of hospital and so many medications and doctors. Now that I'm somewhat stable I'm realising how beautiful a simple life can be. I do the grocery shopping, I go for dinner at my sisters or I take my dogs for a walk and it's all so simple but I adore it, because I spent my life fighting and trying to survive that now I get to see what it's like to just live instead of survive.

Wow thanks so much ! That’s amazing the song has resonated so much thank you

I'm so glad I get to read this story of yours! I gotta say it's been kinda similar for me (but not this bad I suppose). Now I'm studying for my degree just to please my parents. I am ambitious but I'm convinced I'm just not built for this. I just wanna live my little/simple life and enjoy those basic daily activities and i feel like this song perfectly describes those vibes.
