Pocket Change - Anna Graceman

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
