[Verse 1] I fed the box my last two bucks It blinked at me, then locked up A candy bar sat like a king Behind the glass, just out of reach I kicked the side, it clanged back hard A lonely wish in a plastic yard Then you laughed and said, “Try one more time” Like fate was hiding in the dime [Pre-Chorus] I shook the door It shook my pride That little light Stayed red inside But you leaned in close With that brave grin Like every lost thing Could still begin [Chorus] Quarter stuck, quarter stuck Tell me luck, where you at? (where you at?) Quarter stuck, quarter stuck Still I smile right back at that (right back at that) One small spin One small prayer Quarter stuck I’m still here [Verse 2] The snack machine hummed through the floor Like it knew my name before You pressed my palm to the chrome And said, “Come on, let’s bring it home” It dropped at last with a thunder crack A paper moon in a wrapper bag We split the prize with dusty hands Like we’d just robbed the summer stand [Pre-Chorus] I heard that thunk I felt the spark A tiny win In a tiny dark You said, “See? It always moves” And all my bad luck Started to bruise [Chorus] Quarter stuck, quarter stuck Tell me luck, where you at? (where you at?) Quarter stuck, quarter stuck Still I smile right back at that (right back at that) One small spin One small prayer Quarter stuck I’m still here [Bridge] If the day jams up And the world won’t bend I’ll shake that thing And try again Not every door Has to swing wide Sometimes the prize Is staying by my side [Final Chorus] Quarter stuck, quarter stuck Tell me luck, where you at? (where you at?) Quarter stuck, quarter stuck Still I smile right back at that (right back at that) One small spin One small prayer Quarter stuck I’m still here Quarter stuck, quarter stuck Funny how we made it through Quarter stuck, quarter stuck I was lost until I found you
