[Verse 1]
Headset hair
Midnight glare
You load in
I’m already laughing
Glitchy floor
Pixel door
Same old chaos
Same old magic
Stupid avatars
Inside jokes
I forget the hours we’re stacking
Real world’s heavy
Heart off-balance
You drag me back from the static
[Chorus]
You’re more than avatars on my screen
You’re the loud
Loud part of my heartbeat
In a broken world that cuts too deep
You log on
And I can finally breathe
Yeah
My VR friends
Feel closer than the room I’m in
Lag spikes and lifelines
Every night again
You’re my people to the end
[Verse 2]
Mute my mic
You still know
When I’m fading
When I’m hiding
You spam “you good?”
I type “I’m fine”
You don’t buy it
You keep trying
We crash worlds
Climb fake cliffs
Fall off
Still call it a win
I hit quit
You hit me with
“Same time
Same place
You in?”
[Chorus]
You’re more than avatars on my screen
You’re the loud
Loud part of my heartbeat
In a broken world that cuts too deep
You log on
And I can finally breathe
Yeah
My VR friends
Feel closer than the room I’m in
Lag spikes and lifelines
Every night again
You’re my people to the end
[Bridge]
Maybe someday
We’ll share the same air
But if we don’t
I swear
You’re still right there (hey!)
Every rough day
Every cracked smile
You stayed
Mile after mile
[Chorus]
You’re more than avatars on my screen
You’re the loud
Loud part of my heartbeat
In a broken world that cuts too deep
You log on
And I can finally breathe
Yeah
My VR friends
Feel closer than the room I’m in
Lag spikes and lifelines
Every night again
You’re my people to the end
(Yeah, my people to the end)
