Pockets

Musicians need writers and writers need musicians.

It was nice

Chasing a feeling

But it was transparent

From the beginning. 

My heart wants to believe

So it’s changing what I am seeing

I know what I’m needing

And baby it could have been you.

(Pre-Chorus)

Speeding through yellow lights

Red means another fight

Jealousy is green 

Arguing all night.

(Chorus)

I’m desperate and needing

Truth in your loving

More than a lie in a feeling

Make it true

Make it forever

And forever you.

Caught in a screw

It’s a twist stop

I don’t know how

To get out of love

Out from love
That feels like home.

I need to move on

Caught in a ride

And the doors are locked

All I have is a pocket

And a wallet

With an old picture of you.

(Pre-Chorus)

Speeding through yellow lights

Red means another fight

Jealousy is green 

Arguing all night.

(Chorus)

I’m desperate and needing

Truth in your loving

More than a lie in a feeling

Make it true

Make it forever

And forever you.

Flying down the highway

Closing my eyes

All I see is our highlights

Cutting through the wonder

We’d do anything

For each other.

Open my eyes

Choking on the cold

To no surprise

I’m on memory lane

My stop is forever

A lonely road

That only I know.

(Pre-Chorus)

Speeding through yellow lights

Red means another fight

Jealousy is green 

Arguing all night.

(Chorus)

I’m desperate and needing

Truth in your loving

More than a lie in a feeling

Make it true

Make it forever

And forever you.

(Bridge)

Drifting through a race

On a wooden floor

Be all that you were

All that we are

A slow song 

Kissing on the dance floor

We’re close to daylight

As the clock ticks midnight.

A walk alone on water

Through pink and gold neon

Feels like a feeling

On another sign

Love always sells out

It has been this cold from the beginning.

(Pre-Chorus)

Speeding through yellow lights

Red means another fight

Jealousy is green 

Arguing all night.

(Chorus)

I’m desperate and needing

Truth in your loving

More than a lie in a feeling

Make it true

Make it forever

And forever you.

How do I know anything

When everything

Behind my loving eyes

Looks the same.

I won’t move

I won’t go

Down that lonely road

I’ll wait right here

And hope that one day 

Our love will come out of the cold.
