I’ve got a jar
Full of little slips of paper
Little happy moments
All the good things
I write down
On purple slips of paper
And put them in this jar
And save’em for a rainy day

I wish it didn’t look so
Empty
Wish there wouldn’t be so
Much Rain

I kinda wish I had you
Written on a purple
Slip of paper
I kinda wish
I didn’t wish so much

You could probably fill the open space
And make my jar look full
You could probably sit quite comfortably
In a sea of happy notes

But I fear the color purple
May grow dull and sad
For it isn't a pretty color
When it’s the only one

I fear you’re not a fish
Happy in a glass bowl
I fear I cannot keep you
In a jar just for me

For while the sun
Hides in the rain
You will glow just fine
But who would I be
To keep the sun mine

So I kinda wish...
I kinda wish…
I didn’t wish…
This on you

So I guess I’ll write your name
On a different card
And hang it in the outside
Let the world greet you
And not keep you all to me

I’ll keep on writing purple notes
And fill my jar
And maybe when I need you less
You’ll want to come inside
