"All the Small Things." is a song by Blink-182 from their 1999 album "Enema of the State". It is one of only two Blink-182 singles to reach the number 1 spot on the US Modern Rock chart. Tom DeLonge was inspired to write the song after Tom's then girlfriend, and now wife, complained that he had written many songs about all the other girls he had known in his life, but none about her. The line in the song "she left me roses by the stairs/ surprises let me know she cares" references an actual incident where Tom came home late one night and had been left flowers by his girlfriend.
