Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hand-me-down bike
Crooked handlebars
Knees all scarred
Chasing after cards
Met you by the swings
Pockets full of trades
Rubber band stacks
Corners all frayed
You had that shiny I’d been dreaming of
I had three rares and a clumsy crush
Laid them on the bench like treasure on the deck
You laughed and said
“You’ll regret that bet” (hey!)
[Chorus]
Sleeves full of Pokémon cards
Tiny lessons in a plastic guard
Learned what it means when something’s hard to keep
Trust gets bent like the edges we’d crease
Before the jobs
Before broken hearts
We priced our worth in those cartoon stars
World felt big in that tiny schoolyard
With sleeves full of Pokémon cards
[Verse 2]
Principal’s voice on the intercom
“Trading’s banned
” like they banned our fun
Still we dealt behind the jungle gym
Secrets folded in a sandwich tin
You swore you’d trade it back next week
Then moved away down another street
Found out things don’t always get returned
Some cards are gone
Some bridges burn (woah)
[Chorus]
Sleeves full of Pokémon cards
Tiny lessons in a plastic guard
Learned about loss with a binder ring
How value shifts when you outgrow things
Before the rent
Before late-night bars
We staked our trust on those cartoon stars
World felt safe in that chalk-drawn yard
With sleeves full of Pokémon cards
[Bridge]
Now it’s boxes in my old room closet
Dust on the decks like a quiet promise
Flip through the faces
Remember your name
How a simple swap changed the way I play the game
[Chorus]
Sleeves full of Pokémon cards
Tiny lessons in a plastic guard
Learning to hold
Learning when to part
From cardboard prints to a beating heart
Before the calls
Before grown-up scars
We learned our worth under fading stars
I still feel ten in that schoolyard
With sleeves full of Pokémon cards (oh yeah)
