Lyrics: Klara Haugen
Music: Klara Haugen
Dust on the screens
Names on the high score
Faded initials
I don't know yours
Carpet still sticky
From some other year
Ticket booth crooked
Like an inside joke in here
Abandoned arcade
All the ghosts still play
I can hear our laughter
Two tokens away
Abandoned arcade
Every light half-dead
But I keep coming back
To the last thing we said
Prize shelf is empty
But your prize was me
Wristband still tied
On the back of my seat
Photo strip corners
Curled up in my hand
Blink and you're gone
Before the flash could land
Abandoned arcade
All the ghosts still play
I can hear our laughter
Two tokens away
Abandoned arcade
Every light half-dead
But I keep coming back
To the last thing we said
Did you grow up
Or just walk out
Left me here
With the echo of your shout (hey!)
I've got pockets full of change
Nowhere left to spend
Keep feeding every memory
That says "insert again"
Abandoned arcade
All the ghosts still play
I can hear our laughter
Two tokens away
Abandoned arcade
Every light half-dead
But I keep standing here
Where you turned your head
