Press Restart

[Intro]
Coins on the counter
Glitch in my heart
New night
Same player
Ready to start (hey!)
[Verse 1]
Walk in
Health bar half-full
Nerves on red
Still I roll
Say "hi" to the girl in gold shoes
She laughs
Says
"you're kinda old-school"
Next one
Sipping cherry on ice
I freeze
Can’t load a good line
Words lag
Lips just buffer and stall
She smiles
Then she’s gone through the wall
[Chorus]
Press restart
Same bar
Same mission
Losing lives with every conversation
Game over on every heart
Still I press restart
Restart
Press restart
New level
New vision
Take the hit but I stay on a rhythm
Every “no” just plays its part
‘Til I press restart
Restart
[Verse 2]
Combo fail at the jukebox
Trip up
Spill a little on my socks
She shrugs
Says
"you’re kinda cute though"
Her friend pulls her out to go
High score board over my head
Zero wins in neon red
Friends cheer
"just talk
Don’t plan"
I spam jokes
They all crash on land
[Chorus]
Press restart
Same bar
Same mission
Losing lives with every conversation
Game over on every heart
Still I press restart
Restart
Press restart
New level
New vision
Take the hit but I stay on a rhythm
Every “no” just plays its part
‘Til I press restart
Restart
[Bridge]
She’s there by the old arcade
One drink
Hair falling in her face
I say
"you just beat my high shame score"
She laughs so hard she wants more (oh yeah)
[breakdown backing vocals] (press restart) [chips arpeggiating]
We trade glitches
Failed dates
Bad nights
She says
"you feel like my kind"
Two shy geeks in this crowded room
Suddenly the whole place blooms
[Chorus]
Press restart
Same bar
New mission
Found a spark in all this pixel vision
Game saved somewhere in her heart
When we press restart
Restart
Press restart
Two players
One rhythm
Every loss just led me here with her in
Linked lives
One flashing heart
Now we press restart
Restart

Chiptune pop banger built from crunchy 8-bit arps and square-wave leads, mid-tempo bounce. Male vocals playful and self-deprecating; verses stay tight over minimal blippy bass, chorus explodes with stacked octave hooks and bright synth chords. Bridge adds key-change lift, glittery game FX, and call-and-response ad-libs as the “spark” hits, then a final triumphant chorus with extra harmonies.
