A Bit Of Strings

I didn't know you wanted to leave me You didn't say a word Or give a clue I didn't see you were pulling back When you turned away from me I found myself Revealed myself to you Stood beside you when you needed a shoulder to pull through But you left me In the middle of a dream In the middle of a dream

A little bit, a little bit of love Goes a pretty long way Take a look at where you started from And where you are today You climbed mountains Swam oceans You got knocked down And kept goin' In the end you know you got to say A little bit of love goes a pretty long way All your wounds are healing fine I'm so glad I got you in my life Now the winter frost is gone Now is our chance to live the life we want A little bit, a little bit of love Goes a pretty long way Everybody, everybody's lost And that's okay Some show it, some hide it But there's a battle We're all fighting So if you're looking for the words to say A little bit of love goes a pretty long way Holding onto the rabbit's feet Walking down the sunny side of the street Shadows creeping at your back You can forget 'em like an amnesiac A little bit, a little bit of love Goes a pretty long way Love is really like a wonder drug Let's medicate And say goodbye To the drama It's a beeline To Nirvana If you're looking for the words to say A little bit of love goes a pretty long way Hey, ho Hey, ho Hey, ho Hey, ho A little bit, a little bit of love Goes a pretty long way Take a look at where you started from And where you are today You climbed mountains Swam oceans You got knocked down You kept goin' In the end you know you got to say A little bit of love goes a pretty long way Hey, ho Hey, ho Hey, ho A little bit of love goes a pretty long way

Times can get tough Bringin' you down, 'til you on the ground Tears in your eyes Pain is so bad that you wanna die Look here You've got a friend to shelter you When the storm clouds come in You'll always have me Just wait and see How love's gonna be A little bit of love Goes a long, long way Lifting you up to a brighter day A little bit of love Goes a long, long way Turn it around when you up and say Everybody say love (love oh-oh-oh-oh) Can you feel the love? (Love oh-oh-oh-oh) You're down and you're out Ain't even got a damn dime to your name The world is so cold No one to hold and you wonder why Pick yourself up and dust yourself off You're gonna shine, you're gonna shine 'Cause I'll be around Bringing you up when your heart need A little bit of love Goes a long, long way Lifting you up to a brighter day A little bit of love Goes a long, long way Turn it around when you up and say Everybody say love (love oh-oh-oh-oh) Can you feel the love? (Love oh-oh-oh-oh) You've got a friend to shelter you When the storm clouds come in You'll always have me Just wait and see How love's gonna be (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Everybody say love (love oh-oh-oh-oh) Can you feel the love? (Love oh-oh-oh-oh) Everybody say love (love oh-oh-oh-oh) Can you feel the love? (Love oh-oh-oh-oh) Everybody say love (love oh-oh-oh-oh) Can you feel the love? (Love oh-oh-oh-oh) Everybody say love

With his back against the San Francisco traffic On the bridge's side that faces towards the jail Setting out to join a demographic He hoists his first leg up over the rail A phone call's made, police cars show up quickly The Sergeant slams his passenger door He says, "Hey son, why don't you talk through this with me? Just tell me what you're doing it for" "Oh, it's a little bit of everything, it's the mountains, it's the fog It's the news at 6 o'clock, it's the death of my first dog It's the angels up above me, it's the song that they don't sing It's a little bit of everything" There's an older man who stands in a buffet line He is smiling and he's holding out his plate And the further he looks back into his timeline That hard road always led him to today Making up for when his bright future had left him Making up for the fact his only son is gone And letting everything out once, his server asks him "Have you figured out yet what it is you want?" "I want a little bit of everything, the biscuits and the beans Whatever helps me to forget about the things that brought me to my knees So pile on those mashed potatoes and an extra chicken wing I'm having a little bit of everything" Somewhere, a pretty girl is writing invitations To a wedding she has scheduled for the fall Her man says, "Baby, can I make an observation? You don't seem to be having any fun at all" She said, "You just worry about your groomsmen and your shirt size And rest assured that this is making me feel good I think that love is so much easier than you realize If you can give yourself to someone, then you should 'Cause it's a little bit of everything, the way you joke, the way you ache It is getting up before you so I could watch you as you wake So on that day in late September, it's not some stupid little ring I'm getting a little bit of everything" Oh, it's a little bit of everything, it's the Matador and the bull It's the suggested daily dosage, it's the red Moon when it's full All these psychics and these doctors, they're all right and they're all wrong It's like trying to make out every word when they should simply hum along It's not some message written in the dark or some truth that no one's seen It's a little bit of everything

Come on, come on, this isn't right This ain't the way you live a life This ain't the way you sacrifice Come on, come on Hold on, hold on but don't forget These words you got across the chest And darkness and light were so bad We'd hold on, hold on (It's not over yet) With a little bit of love we can heal the pain and mend the distance With a little bit of love we can breathe again With a little bit of love we can fill the emptiness in our hearts With a little bit of love we could feel again With a little bit of love With a little bit of love With a little bit of love With a little bit of love Come on, come on, it's not too late This ain't the time to separate This is a chance to elevate Come on, come on Hold on, hold on and don't you go I don't believe we've lost it all There is a chance to get back home Hold on, hold on (Cause you're not alone...) With a little bit of love we can heal the pain and mend the distance With a little bit of love we can breathe again With a little bit of love we can fill the emptiness in our hearts With a little bit of love we could feel again With a little bit of love With a little bit of love With a little bit of love With a little bit of love You and me, don't you know we can be better than this Oh that you and me, don't you know that we can be happier than this You and me, don't you know we can be better than this You and me, don't you know we can be happier than this With a little bit of love With a little bit of love With a little bit of love With a little bit of love

One more top down One more night of stars One more, "Hey, baby Pull over, find a place to park" One more sip from your cup One more kiss from your lips One more look from those brown Eyes, baby, that's what I miss I could use a little bit of come on back I could use a little bit of how it was Too much, too early, too little, too late I ain't askin' for a lotta love Just a little bit of touchin', a little of talkin' A little of walkin' through yesterday 'Cause a little bit of you, girl, goes a long way One more last time Baby, you ain't gotta stay No, I don't much Naw, just a little taste I could use a little bit of come on back I could use a little bit of how it was Too much, too early, too little, too late I ain't askin' for a lotta love Just a little bit of touchin', a little of talkin' A little of walkin' through yesterday 'Cause a little bit of you, girl, goes a long way Yeah, a little bit, a little bit of you, goes a long way Don't you ever think about what it'd be like? Baby, just one more night I could use a little bit of come on back I could use a little bit of how it was Too much, too early, too little, too late I ain't askin' for a lotta love Just a little bit of touchin', a little of talkin' A little of walkin' through yesterday 'Cause a little bit of you, girl, goes a long way One more top down One more night of stars

I don't want much I just want a little bit I don't want it all I just want a little bit Just an eeny-weeny bit A little bit of Christmas love I don't want much I just want a little bit I don't want it all I just want a little bit Just an eeny-weeny bit A teeny bit of Christmas love I don't want much I just want a little bit Lord, I don't want it all I just want a little bit Just an eeny-weeny bit A teeny bit of Christmas love

Now that the truth is hard to face I can't forget you once were mine Someone else is in my place Whenever we meet my heart beats out of time Just a little bit of green Clouds my eyes to what I've seen Just a little bit of green When I see you with someone new And knowing that there's nothing I can do Please don't try to tie me down Those are the words you often say I can't help seeing you around You smile with surprise, I turn my eyes away Just a little bit of green Oh-oh-ho, clouds my eyes to what I've seen Just a little bit of green When I see you with someone new And knowing that there's nothing I can do Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Just a little bit of green Oh-oh-ho, clouds my eyes to what I've seen Just a little bit of green When I see you with someone new And knowing that there's nothing I can do Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Just a little bit of green
