Arcade Desire

[Intro]
Yeah!

[Refrain]
Baby, our love’s like an NES:
An 8-bit game, and a soundtrack we can dance to

[Verse 1]
This love is probably in my head, and it’s a long shot
But if there’s any hope I’m right, babe, I can’t stop
They’re in my head, the things you said, they put me on top
But you keep leaving me guessing if this thing’s real or not
And, well, I’m the kinda guy, on the fly, to wait in line for your hand
I read mixed messages, tell my friends, all of them shake their heads
And maybe I’m crazy, probably, but I believe it’s true
These eyes of ours say words we’d only speak in silent rooms

[Bridge]
And I don’t need a secret power-up to get to your heart
Fire a hidden weapon, or a GameShark
It’s the final battle, it don’t matter how many times
Yeah, I’ll save and reload, save and reload ‘til you're mine

[Chorus]
Baby, your love is an adventure
And it’s all mine at the end of the game
Don’t matter how many levels, it’s just a matter of time
'Til I’m in your sight
Are you ready to play?
Because baby, baby, we’ll go out with a bang
Storm that castle and set it on fire
And I’ll reset, reset, before it’s Game Over
Oh, you are my arcade desire

[Refrain]
Baby, our love’s like an NES:
An 8-bit game, and a soundtrack we can dance to

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I wish love was a level in an arcade
With a control stick and the buttons I know how to play
And like a pro, I'd stop and start again, and save my place
But there’s no player’s guide out there ‘bout how to beat your game
And, well, I’m the kinda guy with a mind that never tried keeping calm
I lose sleep tryna keep this belief that you’re thinking ‘bout me
Maybe I’m crazy, probably, but I believe it’s true
These eyes of ours say words we’d only speak in silent rooms

[Bridge]
And I don’t need a secret power-up to get to your heart
Fire a hidden weapon, or a GameShark
It’s the final battle, it don’t matter how many times
Yeah, I’ll save and reload, save and reload ‘til you're mine

[Chorus]
Baby, your love is an adventure
And it’s all mine at the end of the game
Don’t matter how many levels, it’s just a matter of time
'Til I’m in your sight
Are you ready to play?
Because baby, baby, we’ll go out with a bang
Storm that castle and set it on fire
And I’ll reset, reset, before it’s Game Over
Oh, you are my arcade desire (Yeah!)

[Bridge]
Because baby, your love is an adventure
And it’s all mine at the end of the game
Don’t matter how many levels, it’s just a matter of time
'Til I’m in your sight
Are you ready to play?

[Chorus]
Because baby, baby, we’ll go out with a bang
Storm that castle and set it on fire
And I’ll reset, reset, before it’s Game Over
Oh, you are my arcade desire
Because baby, your love is an adventure
And it’s all mine at the end of the game
Don’t matter how many levels, it’s just a matter of time
'Til I’m in your sight
Are you ready to play?
Because baby, baby, we’ll go out with a bang
Storm that castle and set it on fire
And I’ll reset, reset, before it’s Game Over
Oh, you are my arcade desire
