Penny for Your Thoughts

Penny For Your Thoughts — Lyrics

Hear it all the time, they say, ‘Penny for your thoughts?’ But my mind’s in turmoil, climbing mountains I can’t climb, Words won’t spill like a glass of fine wine, Just waiting on courage, biding my time. My thoughts are like rivers, flowing wide and deep, Filled with the stories that I long to keep. A penny for your thoughts, that’s all they’ll ever pay, For a heart that’s still yearning, A million in change would never pave the way. So keep your coins, I’ll hold my thoughts tight, It’s not that I don’t care, I’m just lost in the night. I want to fly high, then low till I find, A piece of my heart that I’ve left far behind. Penny for my thoughts? The price is too low, You wouldn’t have a million in change for what I know. Got a mind in turmoil, don’t even ask me where, With a heart that beats loud, bursting with care. The whispers of silence echo through my mind, Some days I’m a poet, other days I’m blind. Searching for answers in the shadows that creep, Trying to make sense of the promises I keep. So keep your coins, I’ll hold my thoughts tight, It’s not that I don’t care, I’m just lost in the night. I want to fly high, then low till I find, A piece of my heart that I’ve left far behind. Like stars in the dark, flickering dreams, Every thought is a shimmer, every feeling redeems. I’ll gather them up, and I’ll let them take flight, Conquer my chaos, emerge from the night. Penny for your thoughts? Yes, it’s true they don’t know, The depths of this ocean, the currents that flow. I’m a traveller’s heart, a seeker of peace, With echoes of laughter, seeking release. Every moment I ponder, expands like the sea, A fortune untold, locked away, just for me. So, when the night whispers, and the world feels loud, I’m learning to stand up and to finally be proud. [Chorus] So keep your coins, I’ll hold my thoughts tight, It’s not that I don’t care, I’m just lost in the night. I want to fly high, then low till I find, A piece of my heart that I’ve left far behind. [Outro] A penny for your thoughts? Only if they could see, The tapestry woven inside of me. So I’ll dance through the chaos, embrace all the strife, And cherish my thoughts, ’cause they’re part of my life.
