Little Things

Little Things: Background- Dave told this story about a girl he asked for directions from in New York while doing Crash.
He asked her whatever he asked her and she said
whatever she said. Just as he was getting away, he realized,
ohhhh she was sooo fine (to put it in his words).
She wasn't fine like skinny and tall, she was fine because
she had small lips, small mouth, and big eyes.

Oh, hello and goodbye
so fast it's gone
I can't get your face from my mind
can't get your eyes from my
can't stop your voices
on that day you told me directions to where I don't know now
it all flew by me
so all I can do is hope that you

come my way
oh and you're nowhere near me
and wait
that you'll be there and hope that
with luck, I'll see you again

Oh I didn't get your name
nor you mine
or the time of day
but you're stuck on me like a fly on a table
oh I'm waiting here where we stood for just a moment

and you stole my way
and I, and I wonder will I see you again
and way, way
without the smile, the smile that blows away
the wait is too long
I want this thing to go on
and there's no way that I might find you again
I must walk a while (?)

I'm all released by mine (?)
bump into each other
it seems so right
and say hey
aren't you the
weren't you the
don't you think

but I don't think it's going to happen that way
I fear you'll remain a dream
rain, rain on me, yeah, yeah, yeah
your life is burned
your life burned into me

it didn't (?)
will I ever
