lirik lagu small victories – american opera
[verse 1]
well, i moved here during a hurricane
without even a soul who knew my name
the city was dark and our pockets were thin
we needed shelter but no one would let us in
and after the weather had gone
well, she found work, i sing my songs
but there’s as many bars as there are stars in the sky
you want them to listen, you best have a good reason why
why
[verse 2]
well, the bars are filled with plenty of folks
and they’re throwing back drinks and they’re going for smokes
well, i ain’t much for drinking, it’s thinking, you see
my mind’s always racing, it’s beating the shit out of me
so i’ll just stay out of the way
and just take the stage when it’s time to play
i’ll swim into the sea of every word that i wrote
and stare holes into the souls of all those that won’t hear a note
[chorus]
and n-body gave a shit
or f-ck or d-mn
’bout who i am
but i swear someday that’ll change
it’ll all change
this business is small victories
in a sea, in a sea of misery
i’ll take a small victory
in this sea, in this sea of misery
[verse 3]
oh, my dear, i fear i am wasting away
i’m much older now, and my hair’s gone grey
just long for the days to be foolish and young
and all i wanna do is sing songs that haven’t been sung
i promise i’ll get you your ring
as soon as people pay to come hear me sing
i’m just so much further back from where i though i would be
this city’s got a plan and it’s making a man out of me
[chorus]
and n-body gave a shit
or f-ck or d-mn
’bout who i am
but i swear someday that’ll change
it’ll all change
this business is small victories
in a sea, in a sea of misery
i’ll take a small victory
in this sea, in this sea of misery
[bridge]
i will be the last stone thrown into the sea
won’t let you take it from me
i will be the last stone thrown into the sea
i want it all, baby
i want it all
[outro]
this business is small victories
in a sea, in a sea of mysery
misery in this sea
well, i’ll take a small victory
in this sea
(this business is small victories)
in this sea
(this business is small victories)
in this sea
(this business is small victories)
in this sea
