Rock in This Pocket is obviously a reference to the biblical story of David, but in this song she’s making a sly reference to having a secret “in her pocket” that could “cause your fall”. You get the sense, though, that the song is more personal, since the “David” in the song is talking to someone...
[Verse 1]
Excuse me
If I may
Turn your attention
My way
One moment
I won't plead
It isn't much
It's what I need
[Chorus]
And what's so small to you
Is so large to me
If it's the last thing I do
I'll make you see
[Verse 2]
If you turn from me
You darken my sun
You snap that thin thread
I call my horizon
And I'd like to remind you
Of something small
That the rock in this pocket
Could cause your fall
[Chorus]
And what's so small to you
Is so large to me
If it's the last thing I do
I'll make you see
So small to you
And so large to me
If it's the last thing I do
I'll make you see
[Verse 3]
I might be out like a light
Extinguished in the throw
But I'll hit my mark
And you'll know
'Cause I'm really well acquainted
With the span of your brow
If you didn't know me then
You'll know me now
You'll know me now
[Chorus]
And what's so small to you
Is so large to me
If it's the last thing I do
I'll make you see
So small to you
And so large to me
If it's the last thing I do
I'll make you see
Make you see
Make you see
