Lyrics
[Verse]
I walked into the shop with a pocket full of hope
The walls were lined with treasures
My wallet couldn't cope
Charizards were shining
Oh they called my name
A little cardboard fortune
But the price was insane
[Prechorus]
Plastic sleeves and promises
They whispered in my ear
A gamble on nostalgia
My savings disappeared
[Chorus]
Cardboard dreams
Tearing at the seams
I spent it all for a holographic gleam
Cardboard dreams
They’re not what they seem
Now I'm broke but my binder’s supreme
[Verse 2]
The checkout line was heavy
My heart began to race
Felt like Ash in Pallet Town
But I’m losing this chase
Pulled a Squirtle
Pulled a Pikachu
But not the golden prize
I’m chasing rainbows in a booster pack disguise
[Chorus]
Cardboard dreams
Tearing at the seams
I spent it all for a holographic gleam
Cardboard dreams
They’re not what they seem
Now I'm broke but my binder’s supreme
[Bridge]
Oh
Every card’s a memory
Every foil a thrill
But my credit card is crying
And I can’t pay the bills
I wanted magic in my hands
To feel like a kid
But I’m drowning in regret for everything I did
