Anna Graceman Pocket Change
Heartbroken at words spoken
I'm choking, I can't break
I wandered for awhile until they found me
They said a penny for a wish
They swore that it was true
That if I ever made a wish
It would come true
So I threw a dime in the wishing well for good measure
Boy I was a fool to think that, that would make things better
Pocket change can't make my wishes come true
So I'm stuck here crying over you
Baby I was told to wait and be patient
I've spent so much time, I've run out, don't know where it went
Pocket change won't make you change your mind
But I'm still wishing and throwing in dimes
Torn up, scattered, our world shattered
So much chatter, I can't hear
All I want is to live my life without any fear
Pick up pieces, promise, keep them
And believe in, the truth
Baby put all of your faith in something bigger than you
They said a penny for a wish
They swore that it was true
That if I ever made a wish
It would come true
So I threw a dime in the wishing well for good measure
Boy I was a fool to think that, that would make things better
Pocket change can't make my wishes come true
But I hope others are wishing too
Baby I was told to wait and be patient
I've spent so much time, I've run out, don't know where it went
Pocket change can fix this world with some time
So I'm still wishing and throwing in dimes
Coins in my pocket
Nothing in my wallet
I'd be fine with nothing else
But it's human for me to want it
I'm so tired of the same
All I want is a little change
And so I throw a dime in the wishing well for good measure
Maybe I'm a fool to think that, that will make things better
But pocket change can make my wishes come true
I'm hoping others are wishing too
Cause baby I was told to wait and be patient
I've spent so much time, I've run out, don't know where it went
Pocket change can fix this world with some time
So I'm still wishing and throwing in dimes
