[singer A] I found a matchbook in my coat From a place I don't recall A little bend in the corner Like it lived through it all Your name was penciled on the back Half gone, but still alive I held it up to the window Watched the ash in the light [transition] [singer B] I kept the sound on So the silence wouldn’t win Little red light blinking Like it knew where I’d been Click-clack, tic-tac, buttons in a lunchbox Bit-crushed heartbeat kicking through the cheap socks I been running little circles in a blue-screen brain With a loose-leaf name and a shoebox rain And it goes click And it goes hum And it goes where did you go When the morning come And it goes beep And it goes blue And it goes I was smaller When I trusted you [singer A] And it hit me slow How fast things go One spark, one turn Then gone, then burned Pocketful of smoke, pocketful of smoke I keep what the wind won't hold Pocketful of smoke, pocketful of smoke Gone by the time it's told (keep it close) I know (hold it loose) I know Pocketful of smoke, pocketful of smoke [transition] [singer B] I saved your voice in a broken machine So you could still come back to me But every time I hear you breathe It takes another piece of me I was a child in a room full of rain Holding a toy like it carried your name Please don’t leave me alone this way Please don’t leave me alone this way [singer A] If I reach in for forever I just find the heat If I ask the past for mercy It slips right through my hands So I let it be a little Let it vanish when it can Some things only live for a moment That still can change a man Pocketful of smoke, pocketful of smoke I keep what the wind won't hold Pocketful of smoke, pocketful of smoke Gone by the time it's told (keep it close) I know (hold it loose) I know Pocketful of smoke, pocketful of smoke [transition] [singer B] One more time, let the red light glow One more lie from the radio One more voice in the carpet fuzz One more ghost that remembers us Click Hum Blue light gone Still not done
