I've scaled the highest mountain
Crossed the big blue sea
Chased that mighty, mighty dollar

Dreamed of the man that I could be

Little things all around me

Little things that I could never see
Like the love you tried to give me
And in the end, just threw it away


I stood atop the golden tower
Rode upon a silver steed

Piled the riches higher and higher
More then a man could ever need


Little things all around me
Little things that I could never see
Like the heart beating inside me

That I just threw it away
Like this heart beating inside me
That I just threw it away


Those little things all around me
Little things I never learned to see

Like the love you tried to give me
I went ahead and threw it away


Like the love you tried to give me
I just threw it away
Oh, threw it away


Little things all around me
Little things that I could never see

Like the heart breaking inside me
I just threw it away
