In My Pocket
The Cat Empire Lyrics

I've got a key
I possess a key

And a piece of paper in my pocket deep
I also have a piece of paper, hidden in the depths of my pocket

In my pocket piece of paper and a key
Reiterating that both the key and the piece of paper are in my pocket

As I wander through the street
I am walking casually through the streets

War, is there a war?
I wonder if there is any current war happening

Or is there isn't a war anymore?
Maybe there used to be a war, but it has ended

Somebody told me that nothing is for sure
I was informed that nothing can be certain in life

Can you hear the ocean roar?
I ask if you can hear the sound of the ocean waves crashing

On each street is a tree
There is a tree on every street

In the distance the desert sleeps
In the far-off distance, the desert appears calm and tranquil

Sometimes a sigh is a song
A sigh can also express emotions like a song does

When a breath is a melody
Even breathing can be considered a beautiful melody

Oceans rise and oceans fall
The tides of the ocean are always changing

So just what does tomorrow mean?
I wonder what the future will hold for me

I give a smile, I give a song
I try to bring happiness and joy through my actions and music

For one moments eternity
Even if it only lasts for a brief moment, I hope to create memories that will last a lifetime

And we sing
Together, we raise our voices in song

Oh but it's a mob
I acknowledge that my current situation is due to the group of people around me

Some mob that brought me here
This group of people brought me to where I am now

I know it is my job
I realize that it is my responsibility to make the most of my opportunities

To seek my fortune, Nanna thank you for this mob
I am grateful to my grandmother for instilling in me the desire to seek my own fortune and make my own way in life with the help of my current group of people

Remember you now you are gone
Although my grandmother has passed away, I still hold on to her words and teachings

Oh if I went away
I consider the possibility of leaving my current situation and starting anew somewhere else

Tropical island somewhere sunny every day
Perhaps I could move to a tropical island with constant sunshine

But everyone I ever cared about remained
If everyone I care about stays behind, I may not find true happiness even on a tropical island

Would I tan or would I fade?
I wonder whether my life would flourish or wither away in that scenario

Mountains rise and mountains fall
Just like the ocean, mountains also change over time

So just what does forever mean?
Again, I question the concept of eternity and what it truly means

So every morning he wakes
Referring to someone else, I describe their daily routine

Spend his day at the daybreak
This person spends their entire day being productive and making the most of their mornings

And every spoonful he take
Even when eating, this person strives to make something of their time

Be of something his own make
This person values creating things that are unique to them

And we sing
Once again, we come together in song
