Pocket Philosopher Lyrics by Mandy Moore

Amanda Leigh

2009

[Verse 1]
Now I'm walking on my own two feet
The sun is shining
My shadow's stretched across the street
And I meet the eyes of the stranger, I can't quite place him
But I wouldn't replace him
For a second or a minute or an hour of the day

[Verse 2]
I turn the corner, I was feeling good
All the birds are humming, all the bees are buzzing
And the trees and the leaves
Looked a little bit greener
And the air felt cleaner
Yeah, I've must been dreaming
For a second or a minute
But maybe that's okay

[Chorus]
Hey, come on, let's play a song
Two or three or four
Five or if you want more
Or maybe you got somewhere else to be

[Post-Chorus]
Be whoever you wanna be
Whatever you wanna see
Whatever you wanna see

[Bridge]
I was awoken by the morning light
My heart felt happy, I wasn't quiet ready
For the wake up or make up
Another good reason
One that is pleasing
In the world without season
'Cause the truth is not pretty when it hits you in the face

[Chorus]
Hey, come on, let's play a song
Two or three or four
Five or if you want more
Or maybe you got somewhere else to be
Hey, come on let's play a song
Two or three or four
Five or if you want more
Or maybe I'll just sing myself back to sleep
