Verse 1
Green light glowing in the dark
Midnight hum, we’re about to start
Controller buzzing in my hands
Escaping everything I am
TV low so I don’t get caught
“One more match,” that’s what I thought
Headset on, I’m feeling brave
In a world that we helped make
---
Pre-Chorus
One click and I’m not here
Static laughs inside my ear
---
Chorus
One little button, I’m gone tonight
Into another world, green and white
Different planets, gamer tags
Staying up just to make it last
Making friends I never knew
Laughing loud till the sky turned blue
In this whole other place, I’m more
I could be me, I could be sure
---
Verse 2
Lobby waits, we’re killing time
Trash-talk jokes, crossing every line
Winning felt like we could fly
Lost a round, yeah I slammed it—fine
Still got mad but we laughed it off
Queued right back like nothing’s wrong
Didn’t matter where you stayed
Different states, same escape
---
Pre-Chorus
No faces, but I knew your voice
Every night felt like a choice
---
Chorus
One little button, I’m gone tonight
Into another world, green and white
Different planets, gamer tags
Staying up just to make it last
Making friends I never knew
Laughing loud till the sky turned blue
In this whole other place, I’m more
I could be me, I could be sure
---
Bridge (light drop, feel-good reflective)
Now the servers feel quieter
But those nights still feel brighter
Growing up came way too fast
Didn’t know we were building the past
If I close my eyes, I’m back again
Loading bars, my old best friends
Just kids thinking this would never end
---
Final Chorus
One little button, late-night drive
Neon memories racing by
Different planets, same old flame
Still hear you calling my name
If I could stay just one more night
In that pixel-glow paradise
In this whole other place, I’m more
I was me like never before
---
Outro
Green light fades
Still feels like home
