Littlething
Whispers of Longing: Jimmy Eat World's Littlething Unveiled
Lyrics
It's how I've often felt
Expressing a common emotional experience
When I find myself on nights like these,
Reflecting on specific moments, especially lonely nights
Like Christmas Eve
Drawing a parallel with the anticipation of Christmas Eve
From the empty office window
Observing the surroundings from an empty office
To the street outside
Noticing the contrast from the office to the street
It's everything not to call
Feeling the urge to call someone
And find out why
Questioning the reasons behind the urge to call
It just a little thing
Emphasizing the significance of a small matter
Buried in the other things
Highlighting the small issue among larger concerns
Burning away, from inside
Describing internal struggles and conflicts
Could you stay with me tonight?
Requesting companionship for the night
And there's a quiet dream
Referring to a subdued aspiration or hope
How am I supposed to think
Expressing difficulty in rational thinking
Eating away at my mind
Describing a persistent mental disturbance
Could you be with me tonight?
Repeating the request for companionship
On the cab ride you said nothing
Recalling a silent moment during a cab ride
Just hair all in your face
Noticing physical appearance, possibly indicating emotional distress
But I was scared to name it
Admitting fear of addressing a particular issue
And nothing changed
Reflecting on the lack of change despite unspoken concerns
So, I walked 'til I just couldn't
Choosing to walk away from the situation
Too late I understood
Realizing the consequences of the delayed understanding
It was always half invented
Suggesting that the situation was only partially genuine
But the other half was good
Acknowledging the positive aspect of the situation
It's just a little thing
Reiterating the importance of a seemingly trivial matter
Buried in the other things
Emphasizing the small issue amidst larger concerns
Burning away, from inside
Repeating the internal struggles and conflicts
Could you stay with me tonight?
Requesting companionship once again
And there's a quiet dream
Revisiting the subdued aspiration or hope
How am I supposed to think
Expressing the difficulty in rational thinking, again
Eating away at my mind
Reiterating the persistent mental disturbance
Could you be with me tonight?
Repeating the request for companionship, again
It's just a little thing
Reemphasizing the significance of the small matter
Buried in the other things
Highlighting the small issue once more
Burning away, from inside
Reiterating the internal struggles and conflicts
Could you stay with me tonight?
Persistently seeking companionship for the night
And there's a quiet dream
Repeating the subdued aspiration or hope
How am I supposed to think
Reiterating the difficulty in rational thinking
Eating away at my mind
Reemphasizing the persistent mental disturbance
Could you be with me tonight?
Repeating the request for companionship, once more
It's just a little thing
Reaffirming the importance of the small matter
Buried in the other things
Stressing the small issue amid larger concerns, again
Burning away, from inside
Recalling the internal struggles and conflicts, once more
Could you stay with me tonight?
Persistently seeking companionship for the night, again
And there's a quiet dream
Reiterating the subdued aspiration or hope, once more
How am I supposed to think
Revisiting the difficulty in rational thinking, again
Eating away at my mind
Emphasizing the persistent mental disturbance, once more
Could you be with me tonight?
Repeating the request for companionship, one last time
