I’ve scaled the highest mountain

Crossed the big blue sea

Chased that mighty, mighty dollar

Dreamed of the man that I could be

Little things all around me

Little things that I could never see

Like the love you tried to give me

And in the end, just threw it away

I stood atop the golden tower

Rode upon a silver steed

Piled the riches higher and higher

More then a man could ever need

Little things all around me

Little things that I could never see

Like the heart beating inside me

That I just threw it away

Like this heart beating inside me

That I just threw it away

Those little things all around me

Little things I never learned to see

Like the love you tried to give me

I went ahead and threw it away

Like the love you tried to give me

I just threw it away

Oh, threw it away

Little things all around me

Little things that I could never see

Like the heart breaking inside me

I just threw it away
