Philip Labes Cannonball! Lyrics

(One two three, go!)

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
And the small things
Are the big things
And the big things
Get small
I miss being a child
Running wild
Cannonball!

[Verse 2]
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 wondеr what that is
And Jamie's going to a different school now
I thought that wе 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 [Chorus]
And the small things
Are the big things
And the big things
Get small
I miss being a child
Running wild
Cannonball!
[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
And sometimes I imagine being older
Being married, being in a play
But mostly I draw 'S's on my folder
Mostly I just focus on today

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

[Chorus]
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
(Being a child)
Running wild
Cannonball!
Cannonball!
Cannonball!
