[Verse 1] I found a button in my coat That came from someone else's day A red one, chipped at the edge Still holding on, still wanting to stay You laughed when I held it up Like I had pulled a coin from rain We tied a string around the loose And called that thing a little sign [Pre-Chorus] Now every small thing feels loud Every corner wants a name And I keep turning it over Like it might learn me someday [Chorus] Pocket of stars, pocket of stars I keep my wonder in a jar Pocket of stars, pocket of stars A tiny flame in the dark Pocket of stars, pocket of stars You and me, we know what it is Pocket of stars, pocket of stars A little wild, a little wish [Verse 2] We took the long way home again Past the shop with the broken clock You bought two plums from the stand And bit into one on the spot A dog barked once at a fence A bus hissed like a dragon wakes Nothing big, nothing grand Still my whole chest started to shake [Pre-Chorus] Now every small thing feels loud Every corner wants a name And I keep turning it over Like it might learn me someday [Chorus] Pocket of stars, pocket of stars I keep my wonder in a jar Pocket of stars, pocket of stars A tiny flame in the dark Pocket of stars, pocket of stars You and me, we know what it is Pocket of stars, pocket of stars A little wild, a little wish [Bridge] If the sky goes pale and thin If the day forgets my face I'll tap that little button And I’m back in this one place Where your hand was warm on mine Where the world fit in a cart Where even a small, lost thing Could light up half my heart [Final Chorus] Pocket of stars, pocket of stars I keep my wonder in a jar Pocket of stars, pocket of stars A tiny flame in the dark Pocket of stars, pocket of stars You and me, we know what it is Pocket of stars, pocket of stars A little wild, a little wish
