Little Moment Lyrics

[Hook]
Can't seem to hold you like I want to
So I can feel it in my arms
Nobody's gonna come and save you
We pulled too many false alarms
Can't seem to hold you like I want to
So I can feel it in my arms
Nobody's gonna come and save you
We pulled too many false alarms

[Verse 1]
Yeah, check it
I used to throw rocks at your window, to wake you up
I see you smile, sleepy girl come on down, let me up
Now that windows closed, to your heart 'n' to your soul
Cuz no matter how hard you hold, you always gotta let go
And we were young, tryin' to fight the world a mile a minute
The poison took, I guess everybody has a limit
Sometimes I think whether things could've been different
But it's hard to change a mind when nobody wanna listen
It ain't a dream and it's never what it seems
We could believe but they never let us be
It's hard to see when you're living in the storm
And the struggle of it all got you thinking that it's wrong
But that flame burns strong, and even though you gone
I know that flame burns on, that's why I wrote this song
It's not to call you back, but tell you that I won't forget
Through the pain, the change, there's no regrets...
[Hook]
Can't seem to hold you like I want to
So I can feel it in my arms
Nobody's gonna come and save you
We pulled too many false alarms
Can't seem to hold you like I want to
So I can feel it in my arms
Nobody's gonna come and save you
We pulled too many false alarms

[Verse 2]
I said, "I'm sorry" cuz I know you stressin'
I see the hurt in your eyes I can't help
Damn, the whole thing is so depressin'
I wish I could've been
Shoulda had
Didn't do
Now the time is up and I'm stuck here missin' you...
But we got stopped on that tickin' tickin' clock
Time fades all you'll miss it on ya mission to the top
Take a moment, let it go...
Gotta move, gotta break through
Gotta keep it real, there's no chance I'll replace you...
I made a monster of myself baby girl
Heart of Stone, no regard for the problems of the world
A boy with a dream, a monster with a match
A trail of gasoline
And all I do it (all I do is...)
It's just me now, no wifey on the speed-dial
Everyday's a new day, so what's it gon' be now
Cuz if I could, I'd be waiting in ya living room
Tellin' you to hurry up, it's getting late, let's make a move
But that all changed, we got lost on a foggy day
And I would stay, but I'm off to another place
Cuz life’s a song, every memory's a melody...
I wrote this verse in the hopes you'd remember me
[Hook]
Can't seem to hold you like I want to
So I can feel it in my arms
Nobody's gonna come and save you
We pulled too many false alarms
Can't seem to hold you like I want to
So I can feel it in my arms
Nobody's gonna come and save you
We pulled too many false alarms

How to Format Lyrics:
