Frici

[Verse 1]
You wrote “frici” on the paper cup
A little crooked, then you circled it up
I asked what it meant, you just shrugged and grinned
Like a secret door with a key tucked in

[Pre-Chorus]
One small word, and the room feels new
I say it once, now I’m saying it too

[Chorus]
Frici, frici, rolling off my tongue
Tiny little spark with a skip in its run
Frici, frici, keep it close today
A pocket-sized joke that won’t go away

[Verse 2]
On the bus you drew it beside the route
On the back of a list, then you crossed it out
Still there in the corner, plain as can be
A private bright mark that you left for me

[Pre-Chorus]
One small word, and the room feels new
I say it once, now I’m saying it too

[Chorus]
Frici, frici, rolling off my tongue
Tiny little spark with a skip in its run
Frici, frici, keep it close today
A pocket-sized joke that won’t go away

[Bridge]
Maybe it’s a place, maybe it’s a name
Maybe it just sounds good all the same
You tap the table, I answer in kind
Now we’ve got a word that is yours and mine

[Final Chorus]
Frici, frici, rolling off my tongue
Tiny little spark with a skip in its run
Frici, frici, keep it close today
A pocket-sized joke that won’t go away

[Outro]
Frici, frici—there it goes again
Folded in a note from a favorite friend
