Pocket Lint Museum

[Verse 1] In the jar by the door You keep my tiny old wars A gum wrapper crown And a bus ticket torn down Two coins from your coat A button, a paper note I found your lost blue thread Sleeping in the red bowl [Pre-Chorus] And I laugh at the mess But I know what it says Little things don’t die They just wait in a line [Chorus] Pocket lint museum Pocket lint museum Every scrap got a reason Every scrap got a name Pocket lint museum Pocket lint museum You kept all the pieces I’m still here the same [Verse 2] There’s dust on the shelf And a key with no lock A matchbook from June And a dried orange peel You said, “Don’t throw it out” Like it might talk back somehow Now I hold what you held Like a map in my hands [Pre-Chorus] And I laugh at the mess But I know what it says Little things don’t die They just wait in a line [Chorus] Pocket lint museum Pocket lint museum Every scrap got a reason Every scrap got a name Pocket lint museum Pocket lint museum You kept all the pieces I’m still here the same [Bridge] I used to want gold Now I want your old coat The coin in the seam The stain on the sleeve If love leaves a trace Let it cling, let it stay In a jar by the door In the shape of your day [Chorus] Pocket lint museum Pocket lint museum Every scrap got a reason Every scrap got a name Pocket lint museum Pocket lint museum You kept all the pieces I’m still here the same
