Label-bright noon; cap hisses yes. Fizz scouts my tongue for rumours of doubt. Two straws, one laugh at the corner shop, coins clinking like tiny parades. If you’re flat, pass the bottle— I’ve learnt the pull of joy. We tune the dark to neon, palms sticky and grinning. Turn: even silence bubbles when we shake it kindly. We sip till the meet-me spot sings— cherry stain on the lip, small victory— and under the streetlamp the shop’s red pin glows on our jackets.
Alternative version
Sun on the pavement, ice in my cup; label-bright smile—I’m bubbling up. Secret in a red-striped straw— sip of backbone; that’s my law. Each step a sparkle, each glance a spark; turn the dial to neon—wake the dark. If you’re feeling flat, I’ve got the drop: pass the vibe; twist the top—psst—spurt. My soda pop—fizz won’t quit; sugar taps time—drip-tick. Turn it up; let the bubbles talk; cherry on the crown—watch the crosswalk rock. Hearts go wow—meet-me spot. Sip-sip, boom, to the last bright dot— I’m lighting up the sidewalk: my soda pop. Rainbow kicks, jacket with a glaze; playlist shuffles fire through haze. No coins—tap-to-play neon sings; two straws, one laugh; the chorus springs. When the world goes quiet, I’ll bring the hiss— little spark factory—that’s this. Count it—three, two—glass brim full; midnight parade when the bubbles pull.
Lyrics
One, two, pop the top, here we go. Sun on the pavement, **ice in my cup**, Smile like a label, yeah I’m bubbling up. Sweet little secret in a red-striped straw, Sip of confidence, mmm, that’s my law. Every step a sparkle, every glance a spark, Turn the dial to neon, light up the dark. If you’re feeling flat, I got the drop, Pass the vibe, twist the top. **Psst—pop!** My soda pop, fizz don’t stop—**now**, Sugar on the beat and it goes drip-drop. Turn it up loud, let the bubbles talk, Cherry on the crown, watch the city rock. My soda pop, hearts go pop—**wow**, Dancing on the corner of the meet-me spot. Sip-sip, boom, till the last little drop, I’m sparking up the sidewalk, my soda pop. Kicks in a rainbow, jacket with a shine, Playlist on shuffle like a sign-of-the-times. Coins in the jukebox, we’re a nickel of flame, Two straws, one laugh, put my name in the game. Every step a sparkle, every glance a spark, Turn the dial to neon, light up the dark. If you’re feeling flat, I got the drop, Pass the vibe, twist the top. My soda pop, fizz don’t stop—**now**, Sugar on the beat and it goes drip-drop. Turn it up loud, let the bubbles talk, Cherry on the crown, watch the city rock. My soda pop, hearts go pop—**wow**, Dancing on the corner of the meet-me spot. Sip-sip, boom, till the last little drop, I’m sparking up the sidewalk, my soda pop. Twist, tip, tiny sip, feel that lift. When the world goes quiet, I’ll bring the fizz, Little spark factory, that’s what this is. Count it in, three, two, glass to the top, We’re a midnight parade when the bubbles pop. My soda pop, fizz don’t stop—**now**, Sugar on the beat and it goes drip-drop. Turn it up loud, let the bubbles talk, Cherry on the crown, watch the city rock. My soda pop, hearts go pop—**wow**, Dancing on the corner of the meet-me spot. Sip-sip, boom, till the last little drop, I’m sparking up the sidewalk, my soda pop. x2 Pop, pop, my soda pop, Pop, pop, never stop.
