Hours in My Pocket

[Intro, spoken over bass]
Hold on. Let me save this.
Yeah. I said that an hour ago.

[Verse 1, relaxed pocket]
Learned my English in a dungeon, trading gear,
Had to get the words right, had a deal in here.
Little French kid with a window to the globe,
Whole world talking through a battered pair of phones.
Then I taught the little characters to work while I slept,
Woke up checking what the midnight shift had kept.
Copy, paste, crash, back to line fourteen,
Had a night crew working on a teenage screen.
Later made a tiny world, watched the creatures learn,
Changed a couple rules just to see which way they'd turn.
Still that kid pulling something new apart,
Got a grown-up calendar, same curious heart.

[Hook, half-chanted, small response doubles]
Hours in my pocket, let the bass line run,
Leave a little daylight when the work gets done.
Pull another chair up, let the record play,
We can build tomorrow, keep a piece of today.

[Verse 2, conversational, witty]
Now I want the hard-won lessons handed down,
So the next kid gets a map of where the holes were found.
Let a person learn it, let a machine try,
Keep the little reason with the what and the why.
If it saves a hundred clicks, where's the afternoon?
I filled it with a hundred more, well, that was smooth.
Made myself a shortcut, booked another call,
Got a faster pair of shoes running into the wall.
I want ideas you can use with your own two hands,
Pass the good bit over, let it travel further than I can.
Leave the door unlatched for the ones coming through,
There's room around the table when you build a chair or two.

[Hook]
Hours in my pocket, let the bass line run,
Leave a little daylight when the work gets done.
Pull another chair up, let the record play,
We can build tomorrow, keep a piece of today.

[Wah guitar break, eight bars]

[Bridge, drums and voice, playful]
Got a bot for the chores and a list for the list,
Somewhere in the system was a sunset that I missed.
I'm learning how to leave a little space unplanned,
Phone face down, put a rhythm in my hands.

[Final hook, wider groove]
Hours in my pocket, let the bass line run,
Leave a little daylight when the work gets done.
Pull another chair up, let the record play,
We can build tomorrow, keep a piece of today.

[Outro, spoken, smiling]
Save it.
Close it.
Somebody turn that bass up.
