[Verse 1]
I found a lump of putty
By the broken screen door
Molded it in my palm
Like I’d held my hurt before
It stuck to my thumb
Like a joke gone bad
Soft little trouble
Best thing I ever had
[Pre-Chorus]
I rolled it, I pressed it
I watched it lose its fight
You can bend a hard day
If you hold it right
[Chorus]
Putty in my pocket
Putty in my hand
Putty in my pocket
I don’t need a plan
It don’t stay broken
It don’t cut deep
Putty in my pocket
Keeps my heart asleep (oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
I shaped it like a sunrise
Then I crushed it flat
Tried to make a promise
Couldn’t make it last
Rain on the window
Mud on my shoes
Same old bad feeling
Same old blues
[Pre-Chorus]
I rolled it, I pressed it
I watched it lose its fight
You can bend a hard day
If you hold it right
[Chorus]
Putty in my pocket
Putty in my hand
Putty in my pocket
I don’t need a plan
It don’t stay broken
It don’t cut deep
Putty in my pocket
Keeps my heart asleep (oh, oh)
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m the putty
Maybe that’s the truth
Every scar got softened
When I thought of you
[Final Chorus]
Putty in my pocket
Putty in my hand
Putty in my pocket
I don’t need a plan
It don’t stay broken
It don’t cut deep
Putty in my pocket
Keeps my heart asleep (oh, oh)
