[Verse 1] Met you on a loading screen Friday night Blue glow on my face Told my friends I’d be out by ten Then the sun showed up I lost the race Energy drinks Empty cans Heartbeat buzzing with the fans Every level Every map Feels like coming home Then it snaps [Chorus] Gaming is my first love Hits me like a crit to the chest High score heartbeat Every win feels better than rest But when I say “one more round” And I’m still here watching the dawn Yeah Gaming is my first love And it cuts me when I can’t log off [Verse 2] You tell me “hey Just pause that thing” I laugh it off “it doesn’t work that way” Half my brain inside the match Half of me watching you walk away Trash talk ringing in my ears Tilted hands White-knuckle fear I chase that rush That comeback dream But I’m losing lives off-screen [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] XP climbing Social life sliding Promised I’d quit after this fight Block out the calls Ignore the timing Pixel paradise Real-life decline [whispered vocals] I say I’m fine I say I’m fine But I’m stuck in queue Stuck in my mind [crescendo] [Chorus]
