Lyrics

Midnight falling through my screen
Pulsing colors in between
Static whispers call your name
Nothing ever feels the same.

Old cassette dreams rewind tonight
Fading into purple light
Like a memory lost in time
Somehow you still feel like mine.

We’re frozen in a photograph,
Playing back what couldn’t last.

Pixel romance in the evening glow
Lost between the places only dreamers know
Your silhouette still dances in the rain
Loading love that I can never save again.

Pixel romance, forever out of reach
Written in the spaces that the night won’t teach
You’re every faded color that I can’t erase
A beautiful mistake inside my favorite place.

Arcade hearts and far away skies
Hidden worlds behind your eyes
Like an old forgotten song
You’ve been here all along.

Every frame begins to blur
Still I keep returning here
Holding onto yesterday
Though it slowly fades away.

If I could press rewind once more
I’d meet you standing at that door
A thousand stars in shades of blue
Waiting in a world we never knew.

Pixel romance in electric light
Somewhere we’re still dancing through the night
Though time keeps moving like the ocean waves
Our little universe remains.

Pixel romance…never really gone
Playing softly like our favorite song.
