"The Little Things Give You Away"
Water grey
Through the windows, up the stairs
Chilling rain
Like an ocean everywhere
[Chorus]
Don't want to reach for me do you
I mean nothing to you
The little things give you away
And now there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking
All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under water
I
Do
[End Chorus]
Hope decays
Generations disappear
Washed away
As a nation simply stares
[Chorus]
Don't want to reach for me do you
I mean nothing to you
The little things give you away
But there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking
All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under water
I
Do
All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under ground now
I
Now I do
[End Chorus]
[Brad's Guitar Solo]
Little things give you away
Little things give you away
Little things give you away
Little things give you away
Little things give you away
(Little things give you away)
All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
(Little things give you away)
All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
(Little things give you away)
All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
(Little things give you away)
All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
(Little things give you away)
All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
(Little things give you away)
All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
(Little things give you away)

I know some people don't really like alternative and don't want me to include it in this book, but that's not the purpose of this book. The purpose of this book is to post songs from ALL genres that have meaningful lyrics, that prove a point or show a lesson. It is not to put up popular songs for your entertainment. It is to show what music is to represent, how it ought to show emotions, sincere lyrics, isn't that the point of music, to tell your story? I get sick and tired of hearing songs about sex, money, and drugs. I mean sure, some are catchy (and very annoying) but they don't have meaning and some just don't make sense. All they do is rhyme words and have a catchy tune but that's about it. Look, I'm not saying you have a terrible taste in music, or that you need to stop listening to it. But I am saying that you should give this music a try. I'm not telling you that you have to love the band or be obsessed with them, all I'm asking is at least read the lyrics. Really read them and understand the time and effort they put into writing the songs. It's even better if you actually listen to the song, that way you could listen to the passion and love they put into each and every one of their songs. Please enjoy it! -Jessie <3
