Little Moments - Gapbe

Where the newspapers fall asleep Blowin' past the people who are walking down the street Said that you were a spy Well, so am I I'll meet you dressed up as a ghost And wander around the town As the sidewalk dreams for you and me The city lights are swallowed by the puddles on the ground And I will meet you there Live on TV from your bathroom mirror while the little moments dream And I will meet you there And it's only in this quiet that you realize just how small we are And I will meet you there And it's only in these moments we realize just how special we are Where the flower dresses are worn out at the seams And the fancy hats that you just don't fuck with And the kids pack ships made out of cardboard With their fists up in the air I will meet you between those lovers' hands Scared 'cause they know this has to end Did you see that boy who carried his mother up the stairs In a crowd of strangers leaning against each other's ugly troubles She walks back to her car just like a movie star

Well, I'll never forget the first time that I heard That pretty mouth say that dirty word And I can't even remember now what she backed my truck into But she covered her mouth and her face got red, and she just looked so darn cute That I couldn't even act like I was mad Yeah, I live for little moments like that That's like just last year on my birthday She lost all track of time and burnt the cake And every smoke detector in the house was goin' off She was just about to cry until I took her in my arms And I tried not to let her see me laugh Yeah, I live for little moments like that I know she's not perfect, but she tries so hard for me And I thank God that she isn't, cause how borin' would that be? It's the little imperfections, it's the sudden change in plans When she misreads the directions, and we're lost, but holdin' hands Yeah, I live for little moments like that When she's layin' on my shoulder on the sofa in the dark And about the time she falls asleep, so does my right arm And I want so bad to move it, cause it's tinglin' and it's numb She looks so much like an angel that I don't want to wake her up Yeah, I live for little moments When she steals my heart again and doesn't even know it Yeah, I live for little moments like that
