“Kiss Cam” is the sixth track off of Arkells' album Michigan Left.
The song explores the feelings of a new relationship, and how new experiences (like sharing a kiss on a kiss cam) can change your view of a person.
[Verse 1]
This campfire won't last forever
The Hip have only wrote so many songs
And we can sort of harmonize together
You hold my hand, as you try to hold on
[Verse 2]
We can't stay up north for the summer
Head back to the city and find a job
I know my family loves you like their daughter
But I know you feel like I strung you along
[Chorus]
At a time you were kissing me
The camera found chemistry
Cheering for us in the cheap seats
Driving home I can see you stare at me differently
We're stuck in the nosebleeds baby
[Verse 3]
True love never needed luxury
Our love never needed any pretty scenery
We embraced the summer heat
And those walks that took forever through suburban streets
[Chorus]
At a time you were kissing me
The camera found chemistry
Cheering for us in cheap seats
Driving home I can see you stare at me differently
We're stuck in the nosebleeds baby (Yeah)
[Post-Chorus]
(True love)
Oh if you want to leave me, baby
If you want to leave
(True love)
Oh if you want to leave
(Leave me, baby)
[Bridge]
True love is always complicated
Your friends never liked me much at all
There'd be times that I'd come home almost crying
But she never knew it was always my fault
[Chorus]
At a time you were kissing me
The camera found chemistry
Cheering for us in cheap seats
Driving home I can see you stare at me differently
We're stuck in the nosebleeds baby
[Outro]
At a time you were kissing me
The camera found chemistry
Cheering for us in cheap seats
Now you look at me differently
You're seeing things differently
Stuck in the nosebleeds baby
At a time you were kissing me
Now if you want to leave me, baby
You're not even listening
Oh, oh oh oh
You got me feeling mad cheap, baby
Oh baby now
