Mason Jennings - Little Details lyrics

There's no street lamps on the road I take

I'm not blessed with brakes

I've got no place to be

The things I love always get up and go

like they're late for a show

well, late they'll always be

'cause it's the little details that derail your dreams

as simple as it seems

The separate little things that you should have done

define your life, honey, one by one

I may be living but I'll die for an end

with no money to spend

there'll be no treasure to find

'Cause nothing I do ever seems to get done

a lot of things get begun but then they slip my mind

It's the little details that derail your dreams

as simple as it seems

The separate little things that you should have done

define your life, honey, one by one

I've tried to run but there ain't nowhere to run,

tried to hide but there ain't nowhere to hide

I've looked for peace, honey, peace could not be found

I've done myself wrong and put my anchor down

And happiness, happiness is up in the hills

You can take your dollar bills or you can leave 'em behind

And emptiness, emptiness is up in my head

all the books that I've read just cleaned out my mind

It's the little details that derail your dreams

as simple as it seems

The separate little things that you should have done

define your life, honey, one by one

I've tried to run but there ain't nowhere to run,

tried to hide but there ain't nowhere to hide

I've looked for peace, honey, peace could not be found

I've done myself wrong and put my anchor down

well, the truth is this: I don't care if I belong

When there's all these stupid songs all on the radio
