Just a Little Bit
Spencer & Hill Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I thought you'd forgotten
You don't miss a thing
I don't think of you often now
I don't really care
You changed your hair
I didn't think I'd see you here

It's a little bit awkward

You're a little bit calmer
It's a little bit harder for me
I'm a little bit softer
And you, you're a little bit taller
It's a little bit harder to breathe

It's a little bit, little bit
It's a little bit, little bit harder
It's a little bit, little bit
It's a little bit, little bit, little bit
It's a little bit, little bit
It's a little bit, little bit harder
It's a little bit, little bit
It's a little bit, little bit, little bit

Oh, when you're angry
You become a stranger
I'm staring right at danger
Oh-oh
And then you scream you hate me
There's nothing left to save us
You're so afraid of changes
Oh-oh

Honesty saves time and that's enough for us
The outro's the intro, hurting the both of us
I'm tryna tell ya

It's a little bit awkward
You're a little bit calmer
It's a little bit harder for me
I'm a little bit softer (soft)
You're a little bit taller
It's a little bit harder to breathe

It's a little bit, little bit
It's a little bit, little bit harder
It's a little bit harder for me
It's a little bit, little bit
It's a little bit, little bit harder
It's a little bit, little bit
It's a little bit, little bit, little bit

It's a little bit awkward
You're a little bit calmer
It's a little bit harder for me
I'm a little bit softer

And you, you're a little bit taller
It's a little bit harder to breathe
