[Verse 1] I fed it my last dime It gave me orange truth A scratched-up plastic window And a blinking "thank you" The tray got stuck halfway I shook it like a fool Then out came one small victory And a packet full of rules [Pre-Chorus] One coin, one try That’s all it ever knew I came in empty-handed It still came through [Chorus] Change from my pocket Change in my hand Little gold promise I can understand Change from my pocket Change, and I’m fine One small miracle In a broken machine line [Verse 2] The gum was stale as weather The chips were mostly air But I loved that holy clatter When my luck appeared from there A paper cup of morning A candy bar at noon The world felt less impossible Under that buzzing moon [Pre-Chorus] One coin, one try That’s all it ever knew I came in empty-handed It still came through [Chorus] Change from my pocket Change in my hand Little gold promise I can understand Change from my pocket Change, and I’m fine One small miracle In a broken machine line [Bridge] Maybe that’s the lesson Maybe that’s the deal Small things keep on turning Making something real A little loss, a little gain A little yes, a little pain And every time it catches I believe again [Chorus] Change from my pocket Change in my hand Little gold promise I can understand Change from my pocket Change, and I’m fine One small miracle In a broken machine line
