Little Lies Lyrics
Everything is beautiful,
cotton fields
the open road.
the radio plays a song
we both know we don't sing along.
la la la la la la la these little lies
Words can be daffodils
or a fire in an open field
I'm sittin here in the ash
Of stupid words I can't take back
la la la la la la la these little lies
there's a devil on my shoulder, babe
and i believe too many things he says
I'm fighting these fears
as i find them true
and I'm sorry for hurting you
la la la la la la la these little lies
cotton fields
the open road.
the radio plays a song
we both know we don't sing along.
or a fire in an open field
I'm sittin here in the ash
Of stupid words I can't take back
and i believe too many things he says
I'm fighting these fears
as i find them true
and I'm sorry for hurting you

ahhhhh i am so madly in love with this song. at first i didn't quite understand it, but after listening to it a few times more, i think i figured it out. it's pretty self explanatory when you think about it... which is sort of contradicting, hahaha.
anywho, my interpretation is that it's about this guy who wanted to protect his girlfriend, but in doing so, he lied, thinking it would protect her. they sit in the car in silence because of this, passing all this beauty that they can't even comprehend because of their broken relationship. he wishes he could take it all back. he's sorry for hurting her and he knows he shouldn't have listened to the voice in his head because it was wrong, but he knows he can't take it back. in the beginning, it mentions a song they both know but don't sing along with--that tells me that they're amidst a disquietude.
it's a pretty sad song but it is so beautiful.
