[Verse 1]
You walked in
Token on your tongue
High score glow
Heart already won
Joystick laugh
Button-mashing grin
Saw “insert coin”
Felt my life begin
[Pre-Chorus]
Every boss fight
Feels lighter with you
Every graveyard
Looks like a level select screen too
[Chorus]
Be my player two
Hit start
Sit close
Share this tiny screen
Share my highs and lows
Got one life left
I’m saving it for you
Press A on forever
Be my player two (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Late night raids
Stacks of empty cans
Lag spike love
Still we hold the plan
You heal my heart
When I’m out of potions
Side-quest eyes
Full of secret oceans
[Pre-Chorus]
Every bad run
You laugh and we stay
Even game over
Just means we’ll try again someday
[Chorus]
Be my player two
Hit start
Sit close
Share this tiny screen
Share my highs and lows
Got one life left
I’m saving it for you
Press A on forever
Be my player two
[Bridge]
[8-bit drum fill
Chiptune lead break]
I’ve got a ring
In this velvet case
Like a hidden chest
In a hidden place
I pause the world
Turn to you and say
“Will you co-op
Every single day?” (woah)
[Chorus]
Be my player two
Hit start
Say “yes”
We’ll unlock worlds
Build our secret nest
Got one life each
Let’s link them
Me and you
Press A on forever
Be my player two
[Outro]
[Softly
Half-spoken]
Hit start with me
New game
Just us two
Unskippable intro
I say “I choose you”
