lyrics

One two three go!

Silly billy, giggling under cotton
A very goofy ghost for Halloween
In the living room my mothers talking
I like to listen as I fall asleep
The last thing that I hear...

An orange in my sock on Christmas morning
I made it to midnight New Year’s Eve
I’ve got a new sister but she’s boring
All she ever does is cry and sleep
But they keep her around

And the small things
Are the big things
And the big things
Get small
I miss being a child
Running wild
Cannonball!

Everyone’s invited to my party
We’re going to the Chuck-E-Cheese downtown
I can’t wait to say hello to Lottie
I feel a certain way when she’s around
I wonder what that is...

And Jamie’s going to a different school now
I thought that we would never be apart
Why does everybody have to leave me
I’ll never heal this hole inside my heart
I’ll build a little shrine...

And the small things
Are the big things
And the big things
Get small
I miss being a child
Running wild
Cannonball!

Spinning circles
I'm Harry I’m Frodo I’m Sam
I’m a real good singer
I know exactly who I am

I'm here to learn in class
While I’m stuck in school
Then lie in the grass
And jump in the pool

And sometimes I imagine being older
Being married, being in a play
But mostly I draw "S"s on my folder

Do you wanna be my friend?
(Do you wanna be my friend?)
On these days that never end?
(Yeah!)

And the small things
(The small things)
Are the big things
(Are the big things)
And the big things
(And the big things)
Get small
I miss (I miss)
Being a child
Running wild
Cannonball!
Cannonball!
Cannonball!
