lyrics

Video Game

Like the end of an old teenage movie
Where the cast all go home to bed
And they lay down in their bedrooms
With the stars glowing above

It’s like a video game
A 90’s video game
A fuzzy memory dying over again

Before they sold the house and moved
You hid more letters inside the walls
You swore you’d never share your secrets
Oh if only walls could talk

It’s like a video game
A 90’s video game
A fuzzy memory dying over again

Fuzzy memory dying over and over again

Remember in the clearing darling
You dropped your lighter onto the grass
You lit that fire that kept burning brighter
And you ran and you ran

It’s like a video game
A 90’s video game
A fuzzy memory dying over again
