B7

Verse 1

I put a dollar in the universe

It gave me back a paper curse

Said: “Out of stock on what you’re worth”

Try again in March

I laughed so hard I almost cried

Bought a soda just to feel alive

There’s carbonation in my eyes

And sugar in my scars

Pre-Chorus

If love’s a game I lost the cheat code

I’m stuck between the snack rows

Press B7, watch my hopes fall slow

Chorus

I left my heart in the vending machine

It’s spinning in circles behind the glass screen

You can see it but you can’t quite reach

Story of me

And I shake and I shake

But it won’t come free

Guess some things are stuck permanently

If you want my love

Bring quarters and a crowbar, please

Verse 2

The clerk said life’s a lottery

But I’ve been scratching apathy

Every ticket says: “Try therapy”

Or move to Tennessee

There’s a sale on artificial smiles

Buy one, get one: denial

I’ve been wearing mine a while

It matches everything

Pre-Chorus

If hope’s a drink I spilled it all

Slipping on the tiled floor

Press B7, hear my spirit call

Chorus

I left my heart in the vending machine

It’s spinning in circles behind the glass screen

You can see it but you can’t quite reach

Story of me

And I shake and I shake

But it won’t come free

Guess some things are stuck permanently

If you want my love

Bring quarters and a crowbar, please

Bridge (weird breakdown)

Maybe I like it there

Safe behind fluorescent prayer

No fingerprints

No repair

Maybe broken things look cute

In a perfectly lit display booth

I wave at it

It waves back too

Final Chorus (big + playful)

I left my heart in the vending machine

But it looks kinda good in the in-between

Like a museum piece

Of who I used to be

And I shake and I shake

Now I’m laughing at me

Turns out I was never empty

I had change in my pocket

The whole time, secretly
