Keep Me In Your Pocket - Kevin Devine

If you’re too sly to be

Be a shadow

If you’re too tired to talk

Talk tomorrow

Please listen to me

Keep yourself in your seat, my love

I hate to see your open face close up

If you worry and don’t, I’m not leaving

I get up in my head but believe me

Please, listen to me

I’m not as far as I seem, my love

And keep me in your pocket if you want

It’s where I always am

In London, in Japan

I’m right here

And the meanest things I’ve said

The angriest I get

Smoke rings dissolve acts of foolishness

Let me be clear

When I talk out of turn

When I judge you

Or do whatever else I want done to me

I am at fault

You’re right and I’m wrong, my love

I’m asking for your patience, little one

It’s where I always am

In London, in Japan

I’m right here

The meanest things I’ve said

The angriest I get

Smoke rings dissolve acts of foolishness

Let me be clear

When I talk out of turn

When I judge you

Or do whatever else I want done to me

I am at fault

You’re right and I’m wrong, my love

I’m asking for your patience, little one

Some progress in the process as it comes

And to keep me in your pocket if you want
