Lyrics

Tear In My Pocket

a coin in a wishing well
is how I’ve felt for days,
half drowning in my hope
and not sure of the company

I’ve got a tear in my pocket tonight
calling your name,
but I keep it to myself

if only the seasons would change
I might find myself in a different light,
and I might even smile and enjoy
the snow in winter, the rain in spring

though I seem shut down
I’ve been on the other side,
and I’m trying to put it all in its place
and nothing has come for free
nothing I’ve held on to, easily

headstrong to run on through
or maybe I just don’t know any better,
I was trying to talk to you
but you didn’t know,
or you didn’t care

I’ve got a tear in my pocket tonight
calling your name,
but I keep it to myself
and nothing has come for free
nothing I’ve held on to, easily
