[Verse 1]
I found a token in my coat
Blue from that old arcade
Rolled around with a bus receipt
And a gum wrapper from last May

You were laughing at the prize wall
Taped rings on a plastic bird
I still hear your lucky little shout
Even now, when the whole room's blurred

[Pre-Chorus]
I turned it over in my hand
Cold like a tiny moon
Every dent still knew your thumb
Every scratch came back too soon

[Chorus]
Pocket full of tokens
Pocket full of time
I keep one for the good days
I keep one for the line
Pocket full of tokens
Take me back in light
If I shake them in my palm
You come back to life

[Verse 2]
The clerk had gum on his gray shirt
The claw machine blinked red
You said, "Bet I can get that bear"
And I said, "Not a chance," and laughed instead

We walked home with sticky fingers
Cherry stains on our teeth
Now the only thing I win from it
Is a memory I can't keep

[Pre-Chorus]
I turn it over in my hand
Like it might start to ring
Like it might open up the door
And let that whole place sing

[Chorus]
Pocket full of tokens
Pocket full of time
I keep one for the good days
I keep one for the line
Pocket full of tokens
Take me back in light
If I shake them in my palm
You come back to life

[Bridge]
[Half-time]
If I find you in the crowd
I'll toss it at your feet
One small circle on the ground
And one old song between

[Final Chorus]
Pocket full of tokens
Pocket full of time
I keep one for the good days
I keep one for the line
Pocket full of tokens
Take me back in light
If I shake them in my palm
You come back to life
Pocket full of tokens
Pocket full of time
