All the small things
True care, truth brings
I’ll take one lift
Your ride, best trip
Always, I know
You’ll be at my show
Watching, waiting
Commiserating
Say it ain’t so, I will not go
Turn the lights off, carry me home
Na na, na na, na na, na na, na, na
Na na, na na, na na, na na, na, na
Na na, na na, na na, na na, na, na
Na na, na na, na na, na na, na, na
Late night, come home
Work sucks, I know
She left me roses by the stairs
Surprises let me know she cares
Just say it ain’t so, I will not go
Turn the lights off, carry me home
Na na, na na, na na, na na, na, na
Na na, na na, na na, na na, na, na
Na na, na na, na na, na na, na, na
Na na, na na, na na, na na, na, na
Say it ain’t so, I will not go
Turn the lights off, carry me home
Keep your head still, I’ll be your thrill
The night will go on, my little windmill
(Na na, na na, na na, na na, na, na)
Say it ain’t so, I will not go
(Na na, na na, na na, na na, na, na)
Turn the lights off, carry me home
(Na na, na na, na na, na na, na, na)
Keep your head still, I’ll be your thrill
(Na na, na na, na na, na na, na, na)
The night will go on, the night will go on, my little windmill
The Charm of Simplicity
“All The Small Things” by Blink-182 celebrates the little moments that make relationships meaningful. The lyrics highlight the power of genuine gestures—like leaving roses by the stairs or attending a loved one’s show. These seemingly minor acts are shown to be the foundation of lasting connection and affection, resonating with anyone who values authenticity over grand displays.
Cherishing Real Connection
The repeated chorus, “Say it ain’t so, I will not go / Turn the lights off, carry me home,” captures a longing for stability and comfort. The playful “na na na” refrains reflect the band’s signature pop-punk energy, reinforcing the song’s upbeat yet sincere tone. At its heart, this anthem reminds listeners that it’s the everyday moments and unwavering support that truly matter in love and friendship.
