Slice in My Pocket

[Verse 1]
You walked in with your lunchbox
Goldfish crackers
Carton drink
I pull out my secret weapon
You just freeze and blink
Little plastic triangle
Snap-lid
Bright lime green
You said
“What is that thing?”
Coolest thing you’ve ever seen

[Chorus]
Got my triangular cheese slice holder
Keeps my cheddar safe and clean
Pocket-sized piece of order
In a world that melts the dream
You can keep your crumpled wrappers
I’ll keep this tiny throne
For every slice I carry
I got a perfect little home (yeah)

[Verse 2]
Bus ride
Bumpy after classes
Someone’s snack bag hits the floor
You’re staring at the mess and
Glancing at my drawer
I flip it open
There’s a triangle
Shining like a prize
You say
“One day I’ll get one too”
I see it in your eyes

[Chorus]
Got my triangular cheese slice holder
Keeps my cheddar safe and clean
Pocket-sized piece of order
In a world that melts the dream
You can chase the latest gadget
I’ll guard this simple gold
Every snack-sized little moment
In this funny plastic mold (oh)

[Bridge]
Maybe I’m just holding on
To something small that makes me grin
But when the day feels out of shape
This little wedge still fits right in (fits right in)

[Chorus]
Got my triangular cheese slice holder
Keeps my cheddar safe and clean
Pocket-sized piece of order
In a world that melts the dream
If life’s a giant puzzle
And everything slides out of place
I’ll save one perfect corner
For a slice in its own case
