Water gray

Through the windows, up the stairs

Chilling rain

Like an ocean everywhere



Don't want to reach for me, do you?

I mean nothing to you

The little things give you away

And now there will be no mistaking

The levees are breaking



All you've ever wanted

Was someone to truly look up to you

And six feet under water, I do



Hope decays

Generations disappear

Washed away

As a nation simply stares



Don't want to reach for me, do you?

I mean nothing to you

The little things give you away

But now there will be no mistaking

The levees are breaking



All you've ever wanted

Was someone to truly look up to you

And six feet under water, I do



All you've ever wanted

Was someone to truly look up to you

And six feet underground, now I, now I do



The little things give you away

The little things give you away

The little things give you away

The little things give you away



The little things give you away

(All you've ever wanted)

(Was someone to truly look up to you)

The little things give you away

The little things give you away

(All you've ever wanted)

(Was someone to truly look up to you)

The little things give you away



The little things give you away

(All you've ever wanted)

(Was someone to truly look up to you)

The little things give you away

The little things give you away

(All you've ever wanted)

(Was someone to truly look up to you)

The little things give you away



The little things give you away

(All you've ever wanted)

(Was someone to truly look up to you)

The little things give you away

The little things give you away

(All you've ever wanted)

(Was someone to truly look up to you)

The little things give you away

When I was a young boy, I would dream about life

And wonder just how sweet it would be

But baby, I got lucky when I met you that night

Now, you'll always have this promise from me



No matter how high I get, I'll always look up to you

You'll always be number one, I'll settle for number two

You've always been there for me, baby, I must confess

I'll always look up to you no matter how high I get



Up here on the mountain, it gets crazy sometimes

So crazy, I don't know what to do

When I've had it up to here with all of their lies

I can count on you to tell me the truth



No matter how high I get, I'll always look up to you

You'll always be number one, I'll settle for number two

You've always been there for me, baby, I must confess

I'll always look up to you no matter how high I get



You are the one that turned me around

You helped me keep my feet on the ground



No matter how high I get, I'll always look up to you

You'll always be number one, I'll settle for number two

You've always been there for me, baby, I must confess

I'll always look up to you no matter how high



No matter how high I get, I'll always look up to you

You'll always be number one, I'll settle for number two

You've always been there for me, baby, I must confess

I'll always look up to you no matter how high



No matter how high I get, I'll always look up to you

You'll always be number one, I'll settle for number two

You've always been there for me, baby, I must confess

I'll always look up to you no matter how high I get
