[Verse 1] I took the long way home Past the laundromat glow A paper cup in my hand And a pocket full of rain Your name on my tongue Like a coin I can’t spend I caught my reflection In a dark window pane [Pre-Chorus] And I laughed a little At the mess I made Then I let it go Like a driftwood chain [Chorus] Pocket full of rain Pocket full of rain I wear it like a badge When the day falls down Pocket full of rain Pocket full of rain You can shake me out But it stays somehow (stays somehow) [Verse 2] There was a dog at the curb With one torn ear And a kid on a bike Singing loud and clear I bought two peaches At the corner stand One for my mouth One for my bare hand [Pre-Chorus] And the whole street swayed In a crooked line I was lost, okay But I felt just fine [Chorus] Pocket full of rain Pocket full of rain I wear it like a badge When the day falls down Pocket full of rain Pocket full of rain You can shake me out But it stays somehow (stays somehow) [Bridge] Let it soak my sleeves Let it blur my plans Every little thing Slips right through my hands Still I walk on With a grin so wide Storm in my pocket And a spark inside [Chorus] Pocket full of rain Pocket full of rain I wear it like a badge When the day falls down Pocket full of rain Pocket full of rain You can shake me out But it stays somehow (stays somehow)
