Hole In My Pocket

There's a hole in my pocket
There's a hole where the time rolls through

24 hours lost in a day
Well, I never, don't remember
59 seconds ticking away
Well, I never, I never know

There's a hole in my pocket
There's a hole where the time rolls through
Oh, oh, oh

Minute hand slips past a quarter to eight
I never, just don't remember
Pulling me back an hour too late
'Cause, I never, I never know

There's a hole in my pocket
There's a hole where the time rolls through
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

What was I doing?
Where did the time go? How can I get it back?
All that I own I'd give for another look

There's a hole in my pocket
There's a hole where the time rolls through

Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh

There you go again
You said I was with you
But I never, just don't remember
Staring into space with nothing to do
'Cause, I never, I never know

There's a hole in my pocket
There's a hole where the time rolls through

What was I doing?
Where did the time go? How can I get it back?
Turn back the clock and give for another look

There's a hole in my pocket
There's a hole where the time rolls through

There's a hole in my pocket
There's a hole
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, (yeah) whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, (the time goes through) whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh

There's a hole in my pocket
There's a hole where the time rolls through

There's a hole in my pocket
There's a hole where the time goes

There's a hole in my pocket
There's a hole where the time rolls through

There's a hole, there's a hole
There's a hole where the time rolls through

There's a hole, there's a hole...

Interpretation

Time keeps moving forward, and we can never get it back. Sometimes we lose track of time and show up late or forget an event in past, wishing we could get it back. When we're bored, with nothing to do, it would be nice to save that time for later, where need more.
