Empty Pockets Lyrics by Paula Toledo

Stay Awhile

2006

[Verse 1]
We've both seen better days
At times, it feels we missed our mark
We try to invent better ways
You said they move too fast
Just like a shooting star
A glimpse of brightness against the dark

[Chorus]
I say, this moment that we’re in, ah, ah
Is not the ending, but the start, ah, aye
Our empty pockets filled with dreams, ah, aye
And the silver lining is our heart

[Verse 2]
Our friends laugh at the dinner table
Say we should grow up
But there's something more that we crave
It keeps us up at night, oh
Churning in our gut
Willing to lose everything we got

[Chorus]
I say, this moment that we're in, ah, ah
Is not the ending, but the start, ah, aye
Our empty pockets filled with dreams, ah, aye
And the silver lining is our heart
And the silver lining is our heart

[Bridge]
Ahh, ahh, ahh, oh
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ooh
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, ooh

[Chorus]
This moment that we’re in, ah, ah
Is not the ending but the start, ah, aye
Our empty pockets filled with dreams, ooh
But no holes or seams to fall apart
No holes or seams to fall apart
Oh
Ah, ah
Ah, aye
