Borrowed Glory

歌词

[Verse 1] Quarter in the cabinet, blue light on my face You pick the little red ship, I choose the safer lane A pocket full of tokens and a map behind the screen We trade our lives for bonus time and chase the hidden key [Pre-Chorus] You say, “Take the left door” I say, “Trust the sound” The level keeps on changing But you’re still around [Chorus] Meet me where the pixels turn to gold Where every boss has one more trick to hold We’ll save the game before the morning train Then start it up and lose ourselves again No final score can tell the whole story Two players sharing borrowed glory [Verse 2] A castle made of cardboard, a dragon made of smoke Your careful little strategy goes up in one bad roll We laugh beside the loading bar, then try a different route The world may end in thirty seconds, but we’re not logging out [Bridge] When the screen goes dark And the room comes back I can still hear your footsteps On the same old track One more round, one more chance One more coin into the machine [Chorus] Meet me where the pixels turn to gold Where every boss has one more trick to hold We’ll save the game before the morning train Then start it up and lose ourselves again No final score can tell the whole story Two players sharing borrowed glory [Outro] The credits roll, the coffee’s cold Your high score shines in silver gold Press start, my friend, the night’s not done New stage loading, three, two, one
