I read too much into too much1
And I already lie too little
But I know that this madness works
As long as it'll stop sooner or later
A little at a time until I've had enough
A little at a time until you've saved up
Show me why
Show me what I could change
Tell me when
Just tell me what it would change
It took a long time, but you knew why
It took a long time, but you were sitting right outside
No matter where you go, I'll stand here, waiting
Free from my needs, I wonder what you're thinking
A little at a time until I've had enough
A little at a time until you've saved up
Show me why
Show me what I could change
Tell me when
Just tell me what it would change
Forget everything about nothing, calm down, get carried away
At long last, with a grip on these things, we're going together
Show me why
Show me what I could change
Tell me when
Just tell me what it would change
1. Literally "I lay too much in too little"
