"Small Things," "Small
things get smaller.

00:00:09.110 --> 00:00:13.250 align:middle line:84%
The life lived is
for choosy choosers.

00:00:13.250 --> 00:00:18.080 align:middle line:84%
This won't get used, so I
can reveal secrets here.

00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:21.140 align:middle line:90%
Once I imagined me a girl.

00:00:21.140 --> 00:00:24.050 align:middle line:84%
I did me up in
brambles and berries

00:00:24.050 --> 00:00:30.050 align:middle line:84%
and stalked a rooftop, colluding
with voices pointed outward.

00:00:30.050 --> 00:00:33.800 align:middle line:84%
I relished the
stomping sound of rain,

00:00:33.800 --> 00:00:38.450 align:middle line:84%
and being a slanting
body on a rolling day.

00:00:38.450 --> 00:00:42.320 align:middle line:84%
I chose time for my
thoughts to wander in.

00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:47.720 align:middle line:84%
I shucked music, shucked
prayers, shucked being elusive,

00:00:47.720 --> 00:00:55.100 align:middle line:84%
gave myself wholly to my new
gown woven of cakes and trains.

00:00:55.100 --> 00:00:58.670 align:middle line:84%
I felt good in my gown,
walked without stumbling,

00:00:58.670 --> 00:01:01.190 align:middle line:90%
awed myself silly.

00:01:01.190 --> 00:01:07.070 align:middle line:84%
The rain was good to feel on
my hands, on my rippled skin.

00:01:07.070 --> 00:01:10.520 align:middle line:84%
I looked up the hill and
saw the outline of the steps

00:01:10.520 --> 00:01:12.050 align:middle line:90%
I would take.

00:01:12.050 --> 00:01:13.940 align:middle line:90%
I took them.

00:01:13.940 --> 00:01:18.470 align:middle line:84%
I felt I could fit into
any bottle, any shell.

00:01:18.470 --> 00:01:21.380 align:middle line:90%
Even sand was known to me.

00:01:21.380 --> 00:01:24.530 align:middle line:90%
It was a dream or something.

00:01:24.530 --> 00:01:28.940 align:middle line:84%
I thought I was rusting,
and that was all right.

00:01:28.940 --> 00:01:31.670 align:middle line:84%
Someone was sighing
out of my mouth,

00:01:31.670 --> 00:01:34.500 align:middle line:90%
using my voice to get away."
