Brandon Boyd - Pocket Knife

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Take this old pocket knife that I have been keeping
hold it under pillow while you are sleeping.
