![]() The idea of "home" is often associated with being around people who care about you, therefore, he wants to be with people who care about him. Whether it be to the store, the rock show (ha-ha!), or work, the narrator does NOT want to go anywhere but home. Here, the narrator tells that he's had a bad day and he's ready for it to end, but when he arrives home he finds a package of roses on his stairs left by his girlfriend (no mysteries as to the identity of the person in this verse), and suddenly the whole day seems worth while. As far as the song goes, the person shows his/her loyalty to the narrator by going to one of his concerts and watching him perform and supporting him, no matter how the show goes. This quote obviously references the boys' feelings about being on tour and away from their homes all the time. Here, the person offers the narrator a simple car ride somewhere - perhaps somewhere as common as the grocery store - and he feels so grateful that the car ride seems like the best thing in the world. If we were to look directly at the plot, the song tells the story of a young man (the narrator) who has someone close to him (probably a girlfriend, best friend, or relative) who shows him his importance in his/her life and how much he/she cares about him with his/her small actions, and these actions ultimately make the narrator feel better about himself because he learns that his true value as a person is priceless. The theme of "All the Small Things" addresses the importance of caring about others and showing them how important they are, even in the smallest way, because sometimes the "smallest way" can make all the difference in the world to someone. The whole meaning of the song is summed up in the first two lines: The night will go on (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) ![]() Turn the lights off, carry me home (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) Keep your head still, I'll be your thrill ![]()
