[Verse 1]
Hit the food court
Sneakers squeak
Coffee in one hand
Paycheck on the brink
Best friend lagging with a rolling cart
“I’m just looking” but I’m lying from the start
Blind box heaven on the third floor wing
Tiny little faces in a plastic ring
Clerk says “Last drop
They’re almost gone”
Heart in my throat
Yeah I’m already done
[Chorus]
I blew my paycheck at the mall on Popmart
Tiny idols
Giant hole in my heart
Tote bag stuffed
But my will fell apart
Guess I’m living off ramen and art
I blew my paycheck at the mall on Popmart
Stacking shelves like a shrine in the dark
Rent’s a rumor
But I needed that charm
Yeah
I lost my mind in the toy aisle arms (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Scan that code
Watch the numbers climb
Every little box feels like winning time
Double of the rare? Trade it with a grin
“Just one more try” turns to “run it back again”
Phone at 3%
Bank at 2
Group chat screaming
“That one looks like you!”
Cashier laughing
“You were just here”
I say “Last round” but my last round’s never near
[Chorus]
I blew my paycheck at the mall on Popmart
Tiny idols
Giant hole in my heart
Tote bag stuffed
But my will fell apart
Guess I’m living off ramen and art
I blew my paycheck at the mall on Popmart
Stacking shelves like a shrine in the dark
Rent’s a rumor
But I needed that charm
Yeah
I lost my mind in the toy aisle arms
[Bridge]
[Drums drop to toms
Crowd clap]
I’ll be fine
I’ll be fine
I’ll be fine (will I?)
Who needs savings when the shelf looks this divine?
I’ll be fine
I’ll be fine
I’ll be fine (right now)
Payday’s just a countdown line
[Chorus]
I blew my paycheck at the mall on Popmart
Tiny idols
Giant hole in my heart
Tote bag stuffed
But my will fell apart
Guess I’m living off ramen and art
I blew my paycheck at the mall on Popmart
Photo wall with the tags on the box
Broke and happy in the parking lot glow
Yeah
I’d do it all again
You already know (oh yeah)
