“roller rink” is the first song in dempsey hope’s “the dempsey hope project.” Its a bouncy tone and light vocals mirror the youthful nostalgia behind the song lyrics, where dempsey chases his childhood crush, whom he associates most with a roller rink from their juvenility.
[Chrous]
This remind me of the roller rink
Icy cold soda drinks
Sittin' in the booth seats
Hopin' she would notice
Skating right in front of her
DJ play my favorite song
I gotta put on a show
Hopefully she play along
Baby, roll the dice
You looking as cold as ice
Skating with the real blades
Hoping you would notice
Playing arcade games
Coming up with nicknames
And texting on our flip phones
If I had the minutes
[Verse 1]
Baby, I bet you get this a lot
But I just wanna take you to your favorite spot
I don't know where it is yet
But I'm 'bout to find out
Wonder if you'll give me this dance
And she crackin' a smile
Yeah, she crackin' a grin
I'm back at it again
To be honest baby
We should be way more than friends
The disco ball above keeps on spinning
We're way too young to be thinking so independent
We never wanna take the time to really sit and listen
But girl, you seem different
I don't get it
But I'll admit it
[Chorus]
This remind me of the roller rink
Icy cold soda drinks
Sittin' in the booth seats
Hopin' she would notice
Skating right in front of her
DJ play my favorite song
I gotta put on a show
Hopefully she play along
Baby, roll the dice
You lookin' as cold as ice
Skating with the real blades
Hoping you would notice
Playing arcade games
Coming up with nicknames
And texting on our flip phones
If I had the minutes
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Every Friday night
I would wait in line
And try to catch your eye
But you'd never pay me any mind
So, why do I try?
'Cause every single time
That I had a chance
To finally get that dance
I would always lose it to some other guy
So, why do I try?
I won't lie, you got a hold on me
I hope that you won't
Leave me here on the ground
I tend to lose my feet
Then there's no one around
And our eyes meet
I was lost 'til you found me
[Chorus]
This remind me of the roller rink
Icy cold soda drinks
Sittin' in the booth seats
Hopin' she would notice
Skating right in front of her
DJ play my favorite song
I gotta put on a show
Hopefully she play along
Baby, roll the dice
You looking as cold as ice
Skating with the real blades
Hoping you would notice
Playing arcade games
Coming up with nicknames
And texting onour flip phones
If I had the minutes
Yeah
[Outro]
This remind me of the roller rink
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
This remind me of the roller rink
