Every Little Bit Helps
Every Little Bit Helps: Finding Light in Heartbreak
Lyrics
This futon I crashed on in college, well it ain't all bad
This futon from college, though not ideal, has some positive aspects.
But at least it don't smell like you
Comparing the futon to the absence of the person, at least it doesn't carry your scent.
Patron up on the counter, well it ain't your red
The patron on the counter is not yours, and the memories associated with it are fading.
And them long stems are long gone too
Long-stemmed items, likely flowers, that were once yours are no longer present.
Put that record on, took your pictures off the shelf
Removing reminders of the person by putting on music and taking down pictures.
Oh, 'cause every little bit helps
Expressing that every small action contributes to the healing process.
Might not get me all the way over you
Acknowledging that small steps may not completely overcome the pain.
But every little bit gets me a little bit closer to
Each small effort brings the person closer to moving on.
Walkin' right out of your valley of the shadow of death
Referencing a difficult emotional state with biblical imagery (valley of the shadow of death).
Step by step I'm gettin'
Gradual progress in distancing oneself from the emotional impact of the relationship.
Out from under that spell you put on me
Expressing the desire to break free from the influence of the past relationship.
I know you just left and I know I might only be
Acknowledging the recent departure of the person and the early stages of recovery.
One night into your goodbye, gone kinda hell
Recognizing the challenging emotional state after the person's departure.
Oh, but every little bit helps
Reiterating that even the smallest efforts contribute to healing.
And this fiver, might only spin my tires to the other side of town
Using money (fiver) to physically distance oneself from the previous location.
But at least I'm out of this house
Leaving the familiar surroundings and finding relief outside of the house.
And this dive's tired of playin' man it ain't my sound
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current environment but finding solace in the noise.
But at least they're playin' it loud
Accepting that the current circumstances are not ideal but preferable.
Two beers in and I'll be long gone come 12
Using alcohol as a means of coping and a way to move on.
Oh, 'cause every little bit helps
Emphasizing that every small effort contributes to the healing process.
Might not get me all the way over you
Acknowledging that incremental steps may not completely erase the memories.
But every little bit gets me a little bit closer to
Highlighting that every small effort brings the person closer to moving on.
Walkin' right out of your valley of the shadow of death
Continuing the metaphor of overcoming emotional challenges.
Step by step I'm gettin'
Stressing the gradual nature of the process in breaking free from emotional ties.
Out from under that spell you put on me
Acknowledging the impact of the person's influence and the desire for liberation.
I know you just left and I know I might only be
Recognizing the recent departure and the initial stages of emotional recovery.
One night into your goodbye, gone kinda hell
Describing the challenging emotional state after the person's departure.
Oh, but every little bit helps
Reiterating that even the smallest efforts contribute to healing.
Every sip, every drink
Highlighting various small actions (sips, drinks, winks) as contributing to the healing process.
That girl, that wink
Emphasizing that even small interactions with others contribute to moving on.
Ain't much but I think
Recognizing that these actions may seem insignificant but are meaningful in the healing journey.
That every little bit helps
Reiterating that every little effort, no matter how small, helps in the process of healing.
Might not get me all the way over you
Acknowledging that small steps may not completely overcome the pain.
But every little bit gets me a little bit closer to
Each small effort brings the person closer to moving on.
Walkin' right out of your valley of the shadow of death
Continuing the metaphor of overcoming emotional challenges.
Step by step I'm gettin'
Stressing the gradual nature of the process in breaking free from emotional ties.
Out from under that spell you put on me
Acknowledging the impact of the person's influence and the desire for liberation.
I know you just left and I know I might only be
Recognizing the recent departure and the initial stages of emotional recovery.
One night into your goodbye, gone kinda hell
Describing the challenging emotional state after the person's departure.
Oh, but every little bit helps
Reiterating that even the smallest efforts contribute to healing.
Oh, yeah, every little bit helps
Concluding with the affirmation that every little effort aids in the process of moving on.
