Lyrics
Verse 1
Pulled a dime from my coat
Found a map in my phone
Coffee stain on the note
Said, "Go where you don't know"
Door hinge squeaks like a joke
Rain taps on my sleeve
I took the long way home
Just to see what I'd believe
Pre-Chorus
One small turn
Then another
Every wrong step
Leads to color
Chorus
Pocket change, pocket change
(come on, come on)
Turn the day
Pocket change, pocket change
(turn it around)
Make it play
Pocket change, pocket change
(stay with me)
I was stuck
Now I'm not
Pocket change, pocket change
(one little spark)
Then a lot
Verse 2
Bus stop kid with a grin
Selling stars in a cup
Old dog dragging a leash
Like he knows what's up
Grocer threw me a peach
Said, "It's ripe, take two"
That tiny kind of luck
Hits harder than it should
Pre-Chorus
One small turn
Then another
Every wrong step
Leads to color
Chorus
Pocket change, pocket change
(come on, come on)
Turn the day
Pocket change, pocket change
(turn it around)
Make it play
Pocket change, pocket change
(stay with me)
I was stuck
Now I'm not
Pocket change, pocket change
(one little spark)
Then a lot
Bridge
Little things, they sneak in
Hands you the key
A cracked-open moment
A different me
Final Chorus
Pocket change, pocket change
(come on, come on)
Turn the day
Pocket change, pocket change
(turn it around)
Make it play
Pocket change, pocket change
(stay with me)
I was stuck
Now I'm not
Pocket change, pocket change
(one little spark)
Then a lot
