Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Paper straw in my drink again
Tastes like cardboard, not my weekend
Sip it once, then it falls apart
Guess I’ll finish this before it starts
Wooden fork that won’t behave
Bends like it’s having a bad day
Trying hard just to take a bite
Laugh it off, yeah, it’s alright
[Pre-Chorus]
Every day it’s the same small show
Tiny troubles we all know
Not a problem, not a fight
Just the things that make us smile
[Chorus]
It’s the little things, yeah the funny kind
Annoying but we don’t mind
We roll our eyes, then laugh it through
’Cause life’s still good, yeah life’s still good
It’s the little things, we meet every day
Get in our way, then fade away
A little mess, a little glue
Just another day with you
[Verse 2]
Instruction manual way too thin
Five languages, none that win
QR code that doesn’t load
Spinning wheel says “try again, bro”
Coffee lid that won’t stay tight
Drip drip drip on a white shirt, right?
Shake it off, keep moving on
By tomorrow it’s already gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Same old streets, same old signs
Same small jokes in different lines
Not perfect, but it’s okay
It’s how we get through every day
[Chorus]
It’s the little things, yeah the funny kind
Annoying but we don’t mind
We roll our eyes, then laugh it through
’Cause life’s still good, yeah life’s still good
It’s the little things, we meet every day
Get in our way, then fade away
A little mess, a little glue
Just another day with you
[Bridge] (Break it down – claps & cajón)
Oh we complain, then we smile
Talk about it for a while
Tomorrow brings a brand-new scene
Same old stuff in between
[Final Chorus]
It’s the little things, they come and go
Part of the rhythm we all know
Not a flaw, just something true
Makes a story out of you
It’s the little things, simple and real
That’s how everyday life feels
A little fun, a little proof
We’re all just figuring it out
[Outro]
Yeah the little things
They’re kinda us
