Sprite
Coin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sunrise in orbit
I still can't tell the truth
Why do I play the fool when
Your eyes were never blue

But as the time rolls by
I will be on your side
Oh, and the heart don't lie
I've been gone for so long
I don't remember why

Don't lose me again
Oh, I-I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I wanna see you again
I don't know where to go
So I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I just wanna start again
Start again
Oh, I'm just out of touch
And I've just about had enough

Sunrise in Harlem
There's no pudding
But here's the proof

But as the time goes by
I will be on your side

Don't lose me again
Oh, I-I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I wanna see you again
I don't know where to go
So I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I just wanna start again
Start again
Oh, I'm just out of touch
And I've just about had enough

I just wanna start again
Start again




Oh, I'm just out of touch
And I've just about had enough

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Sprite" by Coin are wistful and nostalgic, as the singer reminisces about a lost love and expresses a desire to start over. The opening lines create a dreamy, other-worldly atmosphere with the mention of "sunrise in orbit," which contrasts with the singer's admission that they "can't tell the truth." This suggests a disconnect between the singer's inner feelings and their outward behavior, perhaps related to the failure of their relationship. They reflect on their former lover's eyes, which were never actually blue, indicating that they may have been deceiving themselves or projecting their desires onto the other person.


Despite this confusion and lack of clarity, the singer remains hopeful and committed to reconciling with their former partner. They affirm that "the heart don't lie" and express a willingness to be on their ex-lover's side "as time rolls by." The repeated refrain of "I'm coming home" underscores this desire for reconciliation, as the singer acknowledges feeling lost and out of touch but also determined to find their way back to their former love. The lines "I just wanna start again/Start again" encapsulate this longing for a fresh start and a chance to make things right.


Overall, "Sprite" is an emotionally charged song about the complexities of love and relationships, and the power of hope and perseverance in the face of heartbreak.

As time passes
