about

"One Small Thing" was recorded live at The Black Cat in Washington DC in 2008.

lyrics

I'll give you something to believe
then you can wash your hands of me
Take the first step and fall back down
Write it all out and run around with me (please)
I think I know, I think you know
So everyone knows and no one dares to speak

One small thing
Take the will you bring
Take the long way home
Leave it well alone

I haven't been the perfect man
play my mistakes with a back-up brass band
If I'm the charge of want and waste
you be the one with the untied shoelace
You be the one grown in the ground
with a tin can heart and a box of sound and

One small thing
Take the will you bring
Take the long way
and leave it alone alone alone alone
alone alone alone alone

I'll give you something to believe
then you can wash your hands of me
