Little Boy Lyrics - Vance Joy

I was only ten years old 

Like the back of my hand, knew the roads 

I swerved my bike and lost control 

Over the handles in the air 

A lady who came walking by found me lying there 

And the nurse at the hospital said 

"Little boy, don't be scared 

Now your father is waiting in the next room 

Little boy, don't be sad 

Now your mom's on her way, you'll be out of here soon" 

Mmh, mmh 

We drove so slowly through these streets 

In the suburbs of our dreams, mmh 

At night my father closed his eyes 

He saw the new car in the drive 

My mother standing in the doorway 

Friday night, a smile on her face 

And the voice I can hear in my head

"Little boy, don't be scared 

Now you know we'll be sleeping in the next room 

Little boy, don't be sad 

Now tomorrow is as it is coming 'round soon" 

Mmh 

Mmh 

We only need a little space 

Just somewhere we could call our place 

My mother standing in the doorway 

Friday night, a smile on her face 

These things always start so small 

With no applause and no drum roll 

And I came running up the hallway 

See the car turn in the driveway 

Mmh

And I'll always be that little boy 

And I've always been that little boy 

Yeah, I'll always be that little boy 

And I'll always be that little boy
