[Verse 1]
Cracked can on the curb
Purple foam on my tongue
Your laugh hits harder
Than the weekend ever does
Gas station halo
Sticky ring on the hood
I wear it on my hoodie
Yeah, I wear it like I should
[Pre-Chorus]
One sip, I’m gone
Back when we were wild
Purple on my teeth
And trouble in our smile
[Chorus]
Grape soda, grape soda
Crush me, then I’m fine
Grape soda, grape soda
You taste like summer time
Pop, pop, pop
Let it burn in my throat
Grape soda, grape soda
Don’t let it go
[Verse 2]
Flat top, cheap stereo
Handprints on the glass
We stole our little chaos
And we made it last
I still chase that flavor
When the day turns gray
Every cracked-open bottle
Pulls the hurt away
[Pre-Chorus]
One sip, I’m gone
Back when we were loud
Purple on my lips
And nowhere to be found
[Chorus]
Grape soda, grape soda
Crush me, then I’m fine
Grape soda, grape soda
You taste like summer time
Pop, pop, pop
Let it burn in my throat
Grape soda, grape soda
Don’t let it go
[Bridge]
[Breakdown]
If I’m honest
I miss that mess
The sugar rush
The purple stain on my chest
We were young
We were mean
We were better
In between
[Final Chorus]
Grape soda, grape soda
Crush me, then I’m fine
Grape soda, grape soda
You taste like summer time
Pop, pop, pop
Let it burn in my throat
Grape soda, grape soda
Don’t let it go
Cracked can on the curb
Purple foam on my tongue
Your laugh hits harder
Than the weekend ever does
Gas station halo
Sticky ring on the hood
I wear it on my hoodie
Yeah, I wear it like I should
[Pre-Chorus]
One sip, I’m gone
Back when we were wild
Purple on my teeth
And trouble in our smile
[Chorus]
Grape soda, grape soda
Crush me, then I’m fine
Grape soda, grape soda
You taste like summer time
Pop, pop, pop
Let it burn in my throat
Grape soda, grape soda
Don’t let it go
[Verse 2]
Flat top, cheap stereo
Handprints on the glass
We stole our little chaos
And we made it last
I still chase that flavor
When the day turns gray
Every cracked-open bottle
Pulls the hurt away
[Pre-Chorus]
One sip, I’m gone
Back when we were loud
Purple on my lips
And nowhere to be found
[Chorus]
Grape soda, grape soda
Crush me, then I’m fine
Grape soda, grape soda
You taste like summer time
Pop, pop, pop
Let it burn in my throat
Grape soda, grape soda
Don’t let it go
[Bridge]
[Breakdown]
If I’m honest
I miss that mess
The sugar rush
The purple stain on my chest
We were young
We were mean
We were better

[Final Chorus]
Grape soda, grape soda
Crush me, then I’m fine
Grape soda, grape soda
You taste like summer time
Pop, pop, pop
Let it burn in my throat
Grape soda, grape soda
Don’t let it go
Musikstyle
Pop punk rock with brisk driving drums, bright palm-muted guitars, and a jumping bass line; verse rides tight and conversational, pre-chorus opens into gang-shouted lift, chorus hits with full downstroke power and stacked gang vocals. Vocal is scratchy lead with doubled hooks, shouted ad-libs, and a couple of quick harmony bumps. Ear candy: can-chime pickups, snapped claps before choruses, and a short feedback swell into the last hook. Mix is loud, bright, and fizzy with punchy mids., pop punk, rock
