Lyrics

Verse 1

Walked into Costco Iwilei...
Just for bananas...
That's what I'd say.
Then I saw
That checkout wahine...
Forgot my list...
Right away.
How'd you fit it in one cart?
You smiled across the lane...
I forgot why I came in...
And bought half the store again.

Pre-Chorus

Asked me if I wanted two carts...
I just shook my head...
Who's gonna push the second one?
I was seeing you instead.

Chorus

Costco Kine Crush...
Standing by the line...
Every time I see your smile...
I lose my mind.
Cart piled way too high...
Don't know what I got...
Long as you're working checkout...
I'm giving it my best shot.

Verse 2

Fifty pounds a rice...
Paper towels stacked high...
Triple pack a ketchup...
Don't even know why.
Dog food in the cart...
Don't even got a dog...
Kept throwing stuff inside...
Trying to catch her eye.
You smiled and said,
"Find everything okay?"
I said,
"I think so..."
Then looked away.

Bridge

Cart stacked so high...
Couldn't see ahead...
Kept bumping everyone...
Every couple steps.
Everybody laughing...
Couldn't stop the show...
You just smiled and said...
"See you next time, though."

Final Chorus

Costco Kine Crush...
Standing by the line...
Every time I see your smile...
I lose my mind.
Walked in for bananas...
Left with half the store...
Couldn't stop smiling...
Walking out the door.

Outro

Receipt in my pocket...
Trunk don't want to close...
See you next week...
Hope you're smiling...
When I get there.
