Jackie

Intro

(uh-huh) Ja-ja-Jackie, ja-ja-Jackie

(oh-oh, yeah)

Verse

She rides the morning like a thin cigarette, bends light with a grin

Wears her courage like a denim sleeve, lets the sun tuck her in

Hands full of postcards, a small-town map pinned to her jean

Says she’s not lost, just saving rooms for things she hasn’t seen

Pre-chorus

And when she laughs, the room rearranges (hey)

She’s got a way of breaking the quiet into pieces (oh-oh)

No apologies for the scars or the arrangements (uh-huh)

She moves like she knows what love is, how it leaves and how it keeps us

Chorus

Jackie, Jackie, keep the sky in your pocket (oh-oh)

Jackie, Jackie, throw your shoelaces to the road (yeah)

Jackie, Jackie, sing it louder, let it knock it (let it knock it)

Jackie, Jackie, let the small things go

Jackie, Jackie, Jackie, Jackie (oh-oh)

Verse

She writes names on coffee cups and forgets to take them home

Leaves a melody on voicemail, then forgets to play it on the phone

She buys too many daisies for a window that won’t stay put

Then gives them to a stranger, says, “Take one, it’s good for what you’ll do”

Bridge

And sometimes she’s quiet, like a question with no answer (mmm)

Sometimes she’s wildfire, sometimes a hymn to the slow (whoo)

She says life’s a porch light — not a fortress or a banner

She’s the compass and the compass needle, spinning where she wants to go

Chorus

Jackie, Jackie, keep the sky in your pocket (oh-oh)

Jackie, Jackie, throw your shoelaces to the road (yeah)

Jackie, Jackie, sing it louder, let it knock it (let it knock it)

Jackie, Jackie, let the small things go

Jackie, Jackie, Jackie, Jackie (oh-oh)

Outro

(na-na) Ja-ja-Jackie, ja-ja-Jackie, oh-oh

(na-na) Ja-ja-Jackie, ja-ja-Jackie, fade out, fade out
