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
They 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
They 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 are on the radio
