[Verse 1]
Used to play on easy mode
Quit the match when it got hard
Every heart I tried to hold
Turned into a falling star
High score written in my head
Game over on repeat
Told myself I’d never let
Anyone get that close to me
[Pre-Chorus]
Then you laughed across the room
Something in my armor moved
I was scared to press restart
You were reaching for my heart
[Chorus]
New game
I’m pressing start with you tonight
I’m not running from the fight
I’m done hiding from the flame
New game
I’ll take the risk
I’ll take the fall
If it means I get it all
Say my name
I’ll do the same
With you
I’m ready for a new game
[Verse 2]
You don’t ask me to be brave
You just stand there
Hand in mine
Suddenly the ghosts I made
Fade into the background light
Every level we unlock
Feels like places I’ve not been
I don’t need a secret cheat
If I get to lose and win
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been counting all my scars
You’ve been tracing them like art
I was stuck in yesterday
You just showed me “continue” changed
[Chorus]
New game
I’m pressing start with you tonight
I’m not running from the fight
I’m done hiding from the flame
New game
I’ll take the risk
I’ll take the fall
If it means I get it all
Say my name
I’ll do the same
With you
I’m ready for a new game
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to pulsing synth
Soft vocal]
If I lose
I lose with you (that’s okay)
If I win
I win with you (either way)
Every choice
Every move
Feels like magic breaking through (oh)
[Chorus]
New game
I’m pressing start with you tonight
I’m not running from the fight
I’m done hiding from the flame
New game
I’ll take the risk
I’ll take the fall
If it means I get it all
Say my name
I’ll do the same
With you
I’m ready for a new game (new game)
With you
I’m ready for a new game
