Pocket Change

[Verse 1]
I caught myself wishing
That I was the rain
Free to fall any time
Free to fall any place
Or a penny in the pocket
In a pair of tattered jeans
Meant it back in nineteen-sixty-three
But that penny undoubtedly
Has seen much more scenery
Oh, I caught myself wishing I was pocket change

[Verse 2]
I caught myself starin'
At cars in passing lanes
Waitin' for a glimpse
Of their lives at play
I caught myself wishin' I was graffiti on a train
Their role in the play stays the same
Oh, how long will it be
Before that old twisted being
Chips away, and I can't start free
Woo!

[Verse 3]
I caught myself wishing I was a suitcase on a plane
Intercepted by a flight attendant who came to see it had no name
Possessions did no longing to return me home again
Now I wish I were your luggage and back in the plane

[Verse 4]
I caught myself wishing
That I were today
Captured in a snapshot
And placed inside a picture frame
I caught myself wishing I were the expression on your face
Gone today, then gone without a trace
Emotions come and go
Much like people and the day
Oh, I wish I were a name on your brain
Ooo-hoo
Oh, ooo-hoo
Oh, ooo-hoo
