lyrics

When we were young, but wished we were old
I found you there beside my bed
And picking you up, put you in my pocket

From there you saw the inner fold
Went traveling where my feet were led
The memories we made, little pictures in my wallet

But soon you outgrew the space I had made
We pulled a bit and tore it more
So you could stretch and so you stayed
You grabbed the thread of my Levis and devised a nest within
And now my pocket’s ripped, the cloth is wearing thin

And so I walked around, heavy and bulging
No, I’m not happy to see you, I’m just indulging
In this lucid affair that’s stripping me bare
And giving me convulsions

Remember the first time that I met you?

I was enthralled dear, now I wish I could forget you
It was an awful curse to fall in love with yours, mine, and ours

'Cause soon you outgrew the space I had made
We pulled a bit and tore it more
So you could stretch and so you stayed
You grabbed the thread of my Levis and devised a nest within
And now my pocket’s ripped and I’m losing all my shit

And after the years of ripped jeans I’ve finally seen
that people don’t fit inside of pockets

Jacob Shipley New York, New York

Jacob Shipley writes, sings, and tells stories about the moments in life we’d rather not repeat. Some of his music is sorrowful, some sardonic and humorous, but all of it comes from a deeply personal place that is easy to connect with because we’ve all been there. Listening to Jacob is like reminiscing with an old friend: not everything was easy, but at least we made it through. ... more
