From the recording Resonance Works Vol. I
Lyrics
Halos in the pouring rain
Quarter dreams still whisper my name
CRT reflections on the floor
But nobody waits outside the door
Plastic stars beneath our feet
Summer nights on repeat
Every high score fades away
Like yesterday inside the gray
Passionate hearts don’t ever die
They’re just hiding in the sky
Welcome to The Last Arcade
Where every memory still gets played
Pixel hearts in violet light
Holding onto one more night
Welcome to The Last Arcade
Where yesterday never fades
If tomorrow slips too far away
Meet me in The Last Arcade
Ghosts are dancing through the screens
Living inside forgotten dreams
Cassette echoes fill the air
Like you were always waiting there
Polaroid horizons glow
In a world we’ll never know
Time keeps scrolling out of frame
But love still loads the same
One more token…
One more chance…
Freeze this moment…
In the afterglance…
If the city’s lights all disappear
I’ll find you where the pixels cheer
Welcome to The Last Arcade
Where every heartbeat’s been replayed
Fantasy skies forever shine
Frozen somewhere out of time
Welcome to The Last Arcade
Our little universe never fades
Even when the daylight breaks
I’ll still be there…
Inside The Last Arcade.
