small wonders Lyrics
here we go again
with your hair in your face
my head in my hands
hoping to find something
that we've never known
looking like two little kids
with our wide eyes, slow tenderness
asking,saying things that we always do
when we're feeling we've been cheated
of something we deserve
then these small wonders
keep us awake at night
these small wonders
hold us down the ground
and show us who we are
walking side by side
with our fear,our hope,our love,and our pride
two steps forward, no looking back
every chance to fall through
then its one look and the world becomes you
untouched, we know we're on our way
when we're feeling we've been wasted
by too much time inside
then these small wonders
they keep us awake at night
these small wonders
hold us down to the ground
and show us who we are
just when we know we've heard it all before
the world comes screaming through our door
these small wonders, these wmall wonders
(here we go again
your hair my face you head my hands
my clumsy hands)
with your hair in your face
my head in my hands
hoping to find something
that we've never known
looking like two little kids
with our wide eyes, slow tenderness
asking,saying things that we always do
of something we deserve
keep us awake at night
these small wonders
hold us down the ground
and show us who we are
with our fear,our hope,our love,and our pride
two steps forward, no looking back
every chance to fall through
then its one look and the world becomes you
untouched, we know we're on our way
by too much time inside
they keep us awake at night
these small wonders
hold us down to the ground
and show us who we are
the world comes screaming through our door
these small wonders, these wmall wonders
(here we go again
your hair my face you head my hands
my clumsy hands)

for me its about two people who like each other, and yet still question if there really is a connection between them. these small wonders continue to haunt them until someone steps up and tell the person how they really feel.
I thought it was just about two people in love, but after hearing it a few times, I suddenly realized the "small wonders" are their kids. How many times do parents think their kids are going to drive them insane, only to look at their children and realize that bond of love is so miraculous it overcomes everything? And any parent knows their kids "keep us awake at night," but they also "hold us down to the ground" [keep us grounded] and "show us who we are." Good job of hiding a double meaning in the lyrics, plus an enjoyable song.
