This a song about getting weary of holding up the world for everybody. Sitting and re-evaluating priorities can lead to a whole different meaning to life.

Lyrics

A LITTLE LIFE

All I want is a little life
Hours that don’t squeeze so tight
News that lets me sleep at night
Room enough to breathe

A little life could set me free
From wanting things that I don’t need
Things that only decorate
This prison cell that I have made
All I want is a little life

This big life’s getting hard to take
My body’s weary, my bones ache
I would drop it all and run
But I am not the only one
That I’m holding up
I’m holding up

If I had a little life
I’d say no to the overtime
And I would hold you every night
And love you til we burst inside
All I want is a little life

Chorus

Now it seems couldn’t be farther from
The dream I dream, the love I love
Is enough enough
I’m not the only one I’m holding up
I’m holding up

All I want is a little life
A second chance to get it right
That no button can hit rewind
I need to make a little life
I need to make a little life
All I want is a little life
A little life
A little life
