[Verse 1] Back when the couch felt huge And my whole world fit in a screen I had a plastic controller And a pocket full of dreams Dust on the old cartridge Blow it clean, hold my breath One red button, one green light And I was gone again [Pre-Chorus] I still see that loading glow On a rainy Sunday floor Mom calling me for dinner But I played one stage more [Chorus] Take me back, take me back To the games we had Pixel hearts and candy crush In a world so small Take me back, take me back I still hear that call One more life, one more try I was never done at all [Verse 2] Late night in the old house Bare feet on the carpet seam I knew every hidden tunnel Every boss, every beam Friends passed the pad around Laughing when we lost our turn Cheeks lit by the blue screen That kind of love you learn [Pre-Chorus] I still see that loading glow On a rainy Sunday floor Mom calling me for dinner But I played one stage more [Chorus] Take me back, take me back To the games we had Pixel hearts and candy crush In a world so small Take me back, take me back I still hear that call One more life, one more try I was never done at all [Bridge] Now the box sits in the closet But it never left my head Every saved file, every secret Every level that I bled And when life gets too heavy I hear that tiny song In a blinking little moment I was young and strong [Chorus] Take me back, take me back To the games we had Pixel hearts and candy crush In a world so small Take me back, take me back I still hear that call One more life, one more try I was never done at all
