Pockets Full of Nothing

[Verse 1]

I woke up in a panic, all alone here in our bed

My brain is stuck on shuffle, like a slide show in my head

I remember now you asked me to take some time to think

But as usual, all I've done is watch TV and drink.

Mmm hmmm.

[Verse 2]

I just can’t make heads or tails, of these pictures in my mind

But I know our life together depends on what I find

I got up and watched a sunset, then trudged onward toward the dawn

Knowing I need to change some things, or else I'll find you gone.

Mmm hmmm.

[Chorus]

I'd have pockets full of nothing, without you in my life

Things could be so smooth, without my added strife

And wherever in this great big world, we decide to roam

If you're standing by my side, I’ll always be at home.

[Verse 3]

I can’t face a solo future, that is not the choice I choose

And no Flipping coins for answers, I have far too much to lose.

When our life flashed before my eyes, I didn’t like the ending

I chose instead to heed the message you’ve been sending.

Mmm hmmm.

[Verse 4]

The reflections of tomorrow are all echoes of the past

Time feels like it’s standing still, but my heart is beating fast

You are the constant in my life, your love is ever true

No matter where I choose to look, all I can see is you.

Mmm hmmm.

[Chorus]

I'd have pockets full of nothing, without you in my life

Things could be so smooth, without my added strife

And wherever in this great big world, we decide to roam

If you're standing by my side, I’ll always be at home.

[Bridge]

Maybe I can begin to rise...

As I see myself through your eyes...

If you'll help me learn to cope...

We'll have pockets... full of hope!

[Chorus]

I'll have pockets full of hope, with you in my life

Things will be so smooth, without my added strife

And wherever in this great big world, we decide to roam

Since you're standing by my side, I’ll always be at home.
