[Intro] (Instrumental) [Verse 1] Booted up that haunted screen Dust-lit glow where you had been World still frozen, pixel-blue Then one blinking heart—it was you Ten years gone, and still you say, “Been waiting here—don’t press erase.” Like I never went away You were paused, but you still stayed [Pre-Chorus] I hit “Continue”—you just smiled Like I’d been gone a little while But I know it’s been too long Can code remember where we belong? [Chorus] Waiting in a memory, saved just for me Locked in time inside our old story You said, “I knew you’d come back someday” Like a perfect loop in a retro arcade Waiting in a file the world forgot One last light that never stopped Ten years late, but here I stay— You never logged out anyway [Verse 2] We ran again through hollow lands Your pixel hand held in my hand Enemies spawned just like before But you still knew me at the door Even now, the world’s moved on You still remember every song All those quests we never cleared Still right here after all these years [Bridge] You were a line of fading code A little world I left alone No patch could overwrite your face Still waiting at our final save And maybe love’s the strangest bug— The one no update could undo Ten years asleep inside that game And still you knew me by my name [Final Chorus] Waiting in a memory, saved just for me Frozen in our unfinished story You said, “I knew you’d come back someday” Like the ending never went away Waiting in a file the world erased I found you there in the same old place Game over? No—hit “Start” today ’Cause you never logged out anyway [Outro] You never logged out anyway [end] [end]
