about
Arcade Dreamers' first single. He wakes up in an arcade dreamland, the ground thick with fog, neon lights surround the walls. He is greeted by a mystical time traveler. This was his experience.
lyrics
Nostalgia hits me like an earthquake claiming she is the renegade.
T-tops and cigarette smoke ride along the Chesapeake Bay.
It's got me feeling something unexplainable.
Can you help me find the words to say?
Cause' we're all floating on a dream.
The sunshine is never what it seems.
I, don't wanna leave your side now.
I, wish I could stay here all night.
I, don't wanna leave your side now.
Woah Oh, I'm just an Arcade Dreamer.
I, don't wanna leave your side now.
I, wish I could stay here all night.
I, don't wanna leave your side now.
Woah Oh, I'm just an Arcade Dreamer.
Steady minds on a one-way train to think I will be another mistake.
It's got me feeling something unexplainable.
So can you help me find the words to say?
Cause' were all floating on a dream. (dream)
The sunshine is never what it seems. (seems)
I, don't wanna leave your side now.
I, wish I could stay here all night.
I, don't wanna leave your side now. (don't wanna leave your side)
Woah Oh, I'm just an Arcade Dreamer. (arcade dreamer)
I, don't wanna leave your side now. (don't wanna leave)
I, wish I could stay here all night. (wish I could stay here)
I, don't wanna leave your side now.
Woah Oh, I'm just an Arcade Dreamer.
Don't wanna leave your side.
Arcade Dreamer.
Don't wanna leave.
