Just living in a small town at the time...everyone knows when someone is falling down. This is just about one persons journey trying to pull a friend back from that precipice.
lyrics
LITTLE BIG TOWN
You look like a statue in the sunlight on my lawn
And you feel like marble,
How long has this been going on?
You look so aimless in the reflections
Of the windows of downtown
And you feel so nameless,
A crownless king, we let you down
In Little Big Town, baby, I wish you would
Come on back to me
It’s lonely in this town, maybe if I were to
Get down on my knees
And Little Big Town baby, it stretches as far as we can see
And it would be all right, if you were here with me
I ask you questions,
And you simply nod your head
In my direction, you say “Please just leave me for dead…”
I wish I could tell you but I barely know myself
And I know I need you but I can’t accept your help”
In Little Big Town, baby, I wish you would
Come on back to me
It’s lonely in this town, maybe if I were to
Get down on my knees
And Little Big Town baby, it stretches as far as we can see
And it would be all right, if you were here with me
I know this town is small and everyone
Knows each others’ lives,
But I still can’t figure out all the sadness in your eyes
It’s ok, I’ll wait here anyway, wait here for you to say You’re o.k.
In Little Big Town, baby, I wish you would
Come on back to me
It’s lonely in this town, maybe if I were to
Get down on my knees
And Little Big Town baby, it stretches as far as we can see
And it would be all right, if you were here with me
