Side Quest & Sleepovers

[Verse 1]
Couch cushions as armor
Snack wrappers on the floor
Blue light on your glasses
Your mom yelling from the door
Score screens and bad pizza
High-fives that miss our hands
Glitching through a school week
We made kingdoms from these plans
[Chorus]
Side quest & sleepovers
We were saving tiny worlds
With the volume way too loud
Inside joke hangover
Laughing till the sun unfurled
We were legends on that couch
Forever felt like Friday
In your basement
Wide awake
Side quest & sleepovers
We had everything to stake
[Verse 2]
Stickered-up controllers
Names sharpied on the cups
Trading half-true secrets
As the loading screen crawled up
Paused just for the gossip
Unpaused just to escape
Every fear we never named
Got a silly code name
[Chorus]
Side quest & sleepovers
We were saving tiny worlds
With the volume way too loud
Inside joke hangover
Laughing till the sun unfurled
We were legends on that couch
Forever felt like Friday
In your basement
Wide awake
Side quest & sleepovers
We had everything to stake
[Bridge]
[Drums drop to tom groove
Crowd “whoa”s]
If this is growing up
Can we keep the cheat codes?
Save file in our heads
Same house
Same road
One more round
One more story (one more)
Let the credits never roll (hey!)
We were broke
We were immortal
Sharing earbuds
Sharing souls
[Chorus]
Side quest & sleepovers
We were saving tiny worlds
With the volume way too loud
Inside joke hangover
Laughing till the sun unfurled
We were legends on that couch
Forever felt like Friday
In your basement
Wide awake
Side quest & sleepovers
We had everything at stake
