Pockets
Peach Tree Rascals Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Flowers help me find my way
Before the sunrise
When I wake up in the evening
My mind is upset
But I say fuck that
Add up the chemicals in my brainWalking down the boulevard am I numb yet
Losing grip on my feet
I can't run
Run away
Pocket full of sunshine
Flowers help me find my way
Before the sunrise
Spending days in darkened rooms
Wish the light would come
Tired of holding onto you
I don't need your love
Got my tools and happiness
I've been waiting for
Save me sunshine when you're gone
I could take some more
Pocket full of sunshine
Flowers help me find my way
Before the sunrise
Pocket full of sunshine
Tell me that you're on the way
And I'll be alright
Pocket full of sunshine
Before the sunrise
Pocket full of sunshine
Tell me that you're on the way
And I'll be alright

Do you ever hear a song that sounds so happy it makes you sad because you feel like that amount of happiness is illegal
@hansenlaw6735
yea i used to feel guilty feeling too much happiness hahaha. Maybe i do or don't deserve all these goods, but i have them, so i wanna be grateful :>
@soyflakeoutcry
โ@@hansenlaw6735wdym you don't deserve this amount of happiness? It's your basic right, there's nothing to deserve
@hansenlaw6735
@@soyflakeoutcryhi, looking back to my comment i made a year ago, I guess it is because of the constant comparison i have with others making me think if i really should be feeling happy because perhaps growing up i was taught others has it worse .. But now slowly im learning that life has all sort of things that come in my way, there are lesson in these things, hence to welcome them all and have gratitude, instead of chasing or to look down myself for how i feel or the things that happened to me.
