Cover art for Wallet lyrics by Regina Spektor

I've heard the recording (and I think it's THAT one) when she says: "This is a silent request from my mom, I could feel it burning into the back of my head". And somehow I get the feeling, from that statement, that the owner of the wallet is her father... It's probably just my wild imagination but just as well as she could have gotten the idea from finding the wallet herself, it could have been her dad that lost the wallet. I base this strictly on one line that goes: "You had been born in 1953" I don't even know if Reginas father was born in 1953 or not but it would sound better -loosly rhyming on "...dark brown"- if the number was 1951... I know what every one's thinking, and I will be checking into a mental hospital soon but still, I could very well be on to someting.
