Brandon Boyd Pocket Knife
[Verse 1]
Take this old pocket knife that I have been keeping
Hold it under pillow while you are sleeping
Then cut a window into your oldest and darkest dream
And let it wash over you, that life-like, love light beam
[Chorus]
If trouble comes tonight, remember your pocket knife
To cut into the dark and let in a little light with this ol' pocket knife
If trouble comes tonight, remember your pocket knife
Pocket knife
[Verse 2]
Take your old weather-worn boots you were about to retire
Lace them together up on a phone wire
We'll walk into everyone's ears and we'll talk about this love
The only thing around here there is never enough of
[Chorus]
If trouble comes tonight, remember your pocket knife
To cut into the dark and let in a little light with this ol' pocket knife
If trouble comes tonight, remember your pocket knife
Pocket knife
To cut into the dark and let in a little light with this ol' pocket knife
[Post-Chorus]
Here we learn to shadow box, here we learn to stay and fight
Here we know to pick old locks, here we are bathed in light
[Outro]
Take this old pocket knife that I have been keeping
Hold it under pillow while you are sleeping
