regina spektor - The Wallet (Live)

regina spektor - The Wallet (Live)

Lyrics:

I found a wallet,
I found a wallet
Inside were pictures of your small family
You were so young, your hair dark brown
You had been born in 1953
Your winter birthday was stamped on the plastic
Of a license so recently expired
I was so tired as I walked through my door
I let all the contents of your wallet on the floor

And like a holy relic
Or a mystery novel
I thumbed them in the dim light
Searching for a clue-
A Blockbuster card,
An old stick of Juicy Fruit
A crumpled receipt for a pair of leather boots

I have no wallet,
I have no wallet
I keep my cards together with a blue rubber band
And with a free hand I search in my pocket
For pieces of, pieces of paper and change

I'll take your wallet
To my local Blockbuster
They'll find your number
in their computer

You'll never know me
I'll never know you
But you will be so happy
When they call you up.

[Crusader38]

god i love her!!

[orbital151]

"You had been born in 1953" is the best.

[LunaCallista1]

@Wicle001 It does! I watched Amelie a few months ago and loved it. It was one of those quirky movies that you can totally apply to real life. I think the melody of this song, and of course the theme, would have fit perfectly with the soundtrack for Amelie.

[goldfishinaglass]

Can you imagine if Regina found your wallet and you never knew?! That would be so annoying if you never got to meet her... :'(

[Wicle001]

This song makes me think of the movie "Amelie from Montmarte". I really like the lyrics of this song. You can help someone, even if they're not aware of it. It feels so good when a stranger does something good for you.

Serendipity was Kate Beckinsale and John Cusack

[EmmaKalieParodies]

this song reminds me of the movie "serendipity" with keanu reeves and kate beckinsale haha. it's beautiful though

[IndieMom6]

Who cares? The song is brilliant, you are missing the entire point of the song

[solidnadz]

she really needs to make a video for this song lol.

I wonder if the guy whose wallet she found ever found out it was Regina Spektor who turned it back in? Probably not since the haunting "you`ll never know me" part

[k1ngross]

Could be...could be...

[mparkkkk]

because she saw his picture on his license?

[k1ngross]

Really? Then how did she know which one was him/her? :P
