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
