[Verse 1]
Plastic tray
line moving slow
She looks up
“Hey, what do you want though?”
Fluorescent buzz
her eyes still shine
I joke, “maybe Sprite?”
she laughs, “okay, that’s fine”
[Chorus]
Sprite in the canteen
first time that she paid for me
Tiny green can
felt like some big destiny
One little sip
heart doing flips in my seat
Sprite in the canteen
turned my whole day sweet
[Verse 2]
She taps the card
like it’s nothing at all
Says, “grab a table”
I’m pretending I’m calm
Bubbles rise
I’m losing my cool
Her hand on the straw
and I’m gone, like a fool
[Chorus]
Sprite in the canteen
first time that she paid for me
Tiny green can
felt like some big destiny
One little sip
heart doing flips in my seat
Sprite in the canteen
turned my whole day sweet
[Bridge]
Maybe it’s silly
falling this fast
From a drink and a smile
in a lunchroom that’s bland
But I keep that taste
on the tip of my tongue
First time she bought me something
first time I came undone
[Chorus]
Sprite in the canteen
first time that she paid for me
Tiny green can
felt like some big destiny
One little sip
heart doing flips in my seat
Sprite in the canteen
oh, girl, you got me beat
