Lyrics: Klara Haugen
Music: Klara Haugen
I boot up the memory
Dust on the loading screen
Your name flickers once
Then blurs at the edges
Error code heartache
All of our firsts gone blank
I scroll for the moment
Where you first reached for my hand
Corrupted save-file
I can’t reload us
All our checkpoints
Lost in the static of trust
I hit continue
But it’s all white noise
Corrupted save-file
And I can’t get back to your voice
Fragments of summer
Out of order
Out of frame
You’re laughing in silence
Mouth moving
No sound
No name
I mash every button
Like I can force time to bend
Glitched-out confession
Right before “more than friends”
Corrupted save-file
I can’t reload us
All our checkpoints
Lost in the static of trust
I hit continue
But it’s all white noise
Corrupted save-file
And I can’t get back to your voice
What if I’d backed you up
Some place safe
Some hidden drive
Would we still be here tonight
Or was this love built to die? (oh)
Corrupted save-file
I can’t reload us
All our checkpoints
Lost in the static of trust
I hit continue
But it’s all white noise
Corrupted save-file
You fade out
I’m stuck on pause
