Everything I've Got In My Pocket

Minnie Driver Everything I've Got In My Pocket Lyrics
1.Everything I've Got In My Pocket

I want to lay down with you forever
Or just this afternoon
Watching the shadows getting long
I'll sing you a quiet song
Watch you sleep so slow and deep

Baby I know that all your pain will pass
I know you're sad, but it won't last
I'm betting you everything that I've got in my pocket
When you're staring out into the sky
See what you have
And don't ask why
Things can't be different, they're perfect

Want to remind you how you laugh
Sometimes you don't even make a sound
Till you fall down on the ground
I'm going to love you every day
Maybe it'll balance out the pain
That I can't take away

Baby I know that all your pain will pass
I know you're sad, but it won't last
I'm betting you everything that I've got in my pocket
when you're staring out into the sky
See what you have, and don't ask why
Things can't be different
They're perfect

So come on and lay down with me
I'll tell you all the useless things
That I have learned
But this one good thing my old man told me

Baby I know that all your pain will pass
I know you're sad, but it won't last
I'm betting you everything that I've got in my pocket
when you're staring out into the sky
See what you have, and don't ask why
Things can't be different
They're perfect


2.Invisible Girl

Panda eyes and your sister's dress that you took and you tore
And you know that you got a long walk home
Pick your way over drunken shapes on the lawn by the pool
And you lost both your shoes that his Mom's gonna find

Her dress,
Your shoes,
Little flower bruise
Old smoke in your hair,
No subway fare, but you just don't care

Heart shines like a neon sign
For tonight won't you just be mine
Invisible girl, in the sodium light
She's the Queen of the Night

Crown starts to slip and fade, little feet on the street
tired girl in someone else's clothes
Stand in the quiet house, making tea, making toast
Making room for your daytime ghost

Her dress,
Your shoes,
Little flower bruise
Old smoke in your hair
No subway fare, but you just don't care

Heart shines like a neon sign
For tonight won't you just be mine
Invisible girl, in the sodium light
She's the Queen of the Night

Heart shines like a neon sign
For tonight won't you just be mine
Invisible girl, in the sodium light
She's the Queen of the Night

Your sun is the evening star
Your temple the downtown bar
Invisible girl, in the sodium light
She's the Queen of the Night
She's the Queen of the Night


3.Fast As You Can

Oh be a man, as fast as you can,
Oh be a man, as fast as you can
Growing up wild, out in the fields
In awe of the stars, and the power they wield

Oh you loved them anyway
Don't think they noticed you

See how the stars change, from summer to fall
The sole indication, that we're moving at all
Carry the world, with the hands of a child
You can't be a boy, she wants you to be wild

She was the sun, sun, sun
And you were the moon
And the light of the sun
Fills up the room

Oh you loved her anyway
And she tried to love you

When she was asleep, you'd watch her face
Taken in sleep to a more peaceful place
You'd stand by the door, cause you were her guard
And you'd love her in silence, and it wasn't that hard.

Cause she was the sun, sun, sun
And you were the moon
And the light of the sun
Eclipses the moon

Oh you loved her anyway
And she tried to love you

She never asked you, what you're dreaming of
She told you 'bout Texas, and liquor and love
She was hard-edged and broken, she blamed a man
But she told you to be one, as fast as you can


4.Wire

Living on a wire, the sight of you could save my skin
And the sun is in my eyes, and the breeze lifts the hair from my
neck
So precariously I am inching my way across my life
I could fall if you don't call
a sick safety net appears when I'm with you

Oh, I climb, so high waiting to fall
And then I cry, like a child, on a neverending ride

How does it go down, when you're the biggest kid in your own
playground
And how do you see me, how do I fit in your hierarchy?
Oh you tell the girls line up in single file, just gotta
rearrange my denial
So I can play with you, and now I see, all the shit that isn't
me
I'm too relieved to be mad, relieved and sad

I misplaced my mind, thought it was lost
But now I find, you were just very, very unkind

You know I always found, that my feet were dangling looking for
solid ground
Is it maybe worth closing down the Ivory Tower
And coming back down to earth?


5.Home

Angel, asleep on my shoulder
You don't know, how you're gonna grow.
Think you'll be strong and kind like your daddy
Sweet and generous, as your mamma too.
Sky above, endless and ever blue
filled with stars, shining their light on you
They're there when you're feeling scared you're all alone, they
lead you home.
Home
Angel, look what you've come to.
Like the deep blue sea love is all around you.
It's there when you're standing tall
it'll be there when you fall
It's at the edge of all the dreams you dream
Sky above, endless and ever blue
filled with stars, shining their light on you
They're there when you're feeling scared, you're all alone, they
lead you home.
Home
Angel, asleep on my shoulder
you don't know how you're gonna grow.
Think you'll be strong, like your daddy
sweet and generous, as your mamma too.
It's waiting for you, it's waiting for you, it's waiting for
you.


6.Deeper Water

Take me out, take me out
Far into the deeper water
Show me how, show me how
For I have longed to love deep water

I was washed up on the shore
You take me out in the water once more

Slowly, I cannot swim fast
And I know, neither can you
We'll float, let all the clouds pass by
You and I, you and I
You and I, you and I

Why you blue, why you blue
Did she bring you out here too
Wait and see, wait and see
The tide might bring you here to me

I was washed up on the shore
You take me out in the water once more

Slowly, I cannot swim fast
And I know, neither can you
We'll float, let all the clouds pass by
You and I, you and I...


7.So Well

I will pass by your house and not look
I won't pick up the phone
I'll read a book
I will put your pictures in a wooden box
I will find a heart next time
With fewer locks

I can let you go
I can let you go
But I can lie as well
Ask your friends how you doing
They say you're doing well
But you can lie as well
So well

I won't feel the rush of you under my skin
My poor brain will hear your voice
I'm not tuning in
Too soon to know the first thing I'll forget
I can let this go
Just not, your memory yet

I can let you go
I can let you go
But I can lie as well
Ask myself how you doing
You say you're doing well
But you can lie as well
So well


8.Hungry Heart

Got a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack
I went out for a ride and I never went back
Like a river that don't know where it's flowing
I took a wrong turn and I just kept going

Everybody's got a hungry heart
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Lay down your money and you play your part
Everybody's got a hungry heart

I met her in a Kingstown bar
We fell in love I knew it had to end
We took what we had and we ripped it apart
Now here I am down in Kingstown again

Everybody's got a hungry heart
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Lay down your money and you play your part
Everybody's got a hungry heart

Everybody needs a place to rest
Everybody wants to have a home
Don't make no difference what nobody says
Ain't nobody like to be alone

Everybody's got a hungry heart
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Lay down your money and you play your part
Everybody's got a hungry heart


9.Down

Too bad, she don't love you no more
And I've a half a mind to give her a call
Curled up in a ball
Is that where you are
Is that where you are

Well it was the same for me, I'll tell you what you will see
As you go
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down

I never wished you any harm
But Karma has a certain charm
My dad always used to say
You never run up a tab, you don't eventually have to pay

Well it was the same for me, I'll tell you what you will see
As you go
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down

Buy a book that'll teach you how to relate
Then tell her all the things you learned too late

In time, the pain will go away
And you'll be free to love and lose another day
Mind what you do
Cause as you see, things come back to you

What do you want from me?
I'm not sorry?
That you are down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down


10.Yellow Eyes

She had the yellow eyes of opal moons
So full of love, how could she see?
He thought he'd drown in them
So he set sail
Gracefully she dreamed him free

The Indian Ocean washed him on her shore
Flat backed on a dirt packed floor
One eye on the door
You're ten thousand miles away
As the birds fly, and you want to die
Because you let her go

You say, you say

Oh when she holds me, nobody told me
All of the fear her love would bring
If you could see me
Would you believe me darling
That all my fear was only love

He had a one time look at paradise
A white light, it was bright to blinding paradise
All of the angels that you can't see
When you're equating love
Equating love, with never being free

And you say, you say

Oh when she holds me, nobody told me
All of the fear her love would bring
If you could see me
Would you believe me darling
That all my fear was only love

She had the yellow eyes of opal moons
You looked away from them too soon
The best I can say to you
Though I don't know when
Is that I know you'll feel this way
I know, I know you'll feel this way again

And next time

Tell her you love her
You're always with her
Even when you are far away
Cause if she could see you
I think she'd believe you darling
That all your fear was only love
All your fear was only love


11.Ruby Adeline

Ruby Adeline
Your life will be so fine
Ruby Adeline
You're gonna have the sweetest time

I could wish you lots of things
A clever mind and diamond rings

The knowledge that you're always free
Compassion for all that you see

But the best thing, I can think of
Is to wish you love

Ruby Adeline
Your life will be so fine
Ruby Adeline
You're gonna have the sweetest time

So right from the very start
I wish you a lions heart
A little darkness let it come
So that you will always know the sun
May it shine down from above
Let it fill your life with love

Ruby Adeline
Your life will be so fine
Ruby Adeline
You're gonna have the sweetest time
