Yeah— NOVA3, load in… Three, two, one—go! [Verse 1] I’m lit by the glow of the vending machines, Lip gloss, low light, pixelated dreams. You look like trouble in a candy-coded grin, Tell me your high score—let me pull you in. Heartbeat drumming like a drumkit loop, We’re spinning in the air like a bullet-time move. I should be careful, but I’m past “maybe,” I press start again like you’re gonna save me. [Pre-chorus] Blink—blink—screen goes white, You say my name in strobe light. Hands on my waist, cheat code kiss, I’m glitching out, I can’t resist. [Chorus] Meet me in the Afterglow Arcade, Neon on our skin, gettin’ renegade. We don’t need sleep, we just respawn, Love on the leaderboard all night long. Afterglow Arcade, Turn it up loud till we levitate. If we crash, then we crash in style— Insert coin, baby, one more round. One more round, don’t slow down— Pew-pew hearts, spin me ‘round— Afterglow—Afterglow—Arcade! [Verse 2] Leather on the couch, cherry soda stain, You’re a soft little sin with a hardwired brain. I got a wild idea and a wicked aim, Say “Player Two,” I’ll make you say my name. Flashbang smile, watch you lose your cool, I’m the boss level, baby—break the rules. You want sweet? I can be sugar and blade, Kiss you so quick you can’t be afraid. [Pre-Chorus] The city outside is a muted scene, But in here it’s loud and obscene. Your laugh hits sharp like a laser beam— I’m falling fast, and I like the speed. [Chorus] Meet me in the Afterglow Arcade, Neon on our skin, gettin’ renegade. We don’t need sleep, we just respawn, Love on the leaderboard all night long. Afterglow Arcade, Turn it up loud till we levitate. If we crash, then we crash in style— Insert coin, baby, one more round. [Bridge] Hush now… lights low… Hear the static in my chest glow. If this is a game, don’t let it end, Hold me close like a secret level. I’m not afraid— Not when you stay. Countdown breathing in my ear— Say “don’t stop,” I’ll keep you here— I’m losing control, but I don’t care— We go up, up, up—like— [Final Chorus] Meet me in the Afterglow Arcade, Neon on our skin, gettin’ renegade. We don’t need sleep, we just respawn, Love on the leaderboard all night long. Afterglow Arcade, Turn it up loud till we levitate. If we crash, then we crash in style— Insert coin, baby, one more— [Outro] Afterglow Arcade! (Afterglow!) Afterglow Arcade! (Don’t log off!) Afterglow Arcade! (Stay with me!) Insert coin— Game on.
