[Verse 1] I found a key in my raincoat Three teeth bent like a grin Took it home in my pocket Didn’t know what it fit in There was a moth on the window Wearing dust like a crown It kept tapping my reflection Like it knew my name by sound [Pre-Chorus] So I turned the lock slow Held my breath in my chest Something little, something living Pushed awake in the dark [Chorus] Pocket full of moths, moths, moths Watch them shake and start Pocket full of moths, moths, moths Little sparks in the dark Pocket full of moths, moths, moths I can’t keep them still They keep finding the light in me Even when I won’t [Verse 2] At the corner store at midnight I bought gum and a peach The cashier wore a fresh bandage On the knuckle of her hand She said, “Every fool needs motion” Then she laughed with her jaw I left with a paper bag full Of things I never planned [Pre-Chorus] And the air felt heavier Like a story on a shelf Every tiny thing around me Was looking for itself [Chorus] Pocket full of moths, moths, moths Watch them shake and start Pocket full of moths, moths, moths Little sparks in the dark Pocket full of moths, moths, moths I can’t keep them still They keep finding the light in me Even when I won’t [Bridge] If I open my hands now Will they fly or will they stay? If I leave the porch light burning Will they tell me where to go? [Final Chorus] Pocket full of moths, moths, moths Watch them shake and start Pocket full of moths, moths, moths Little sparks in the dark Pocket full of moths, moths, moths I can’t keep them still They keep finding the light in me Even when I won’t Pocket full of moths, moths, moths Little sparks in the dark Pocket full of moths, moths, moths I can’t keep them still
