@InfinityTiiime
think this is more about complacency and stagnation than romance
she says all this heady stuff about excitement and love and effort and he's drinking a beer and playing video games, engaging in a roleplaying fantasy medium while she repeatedly asks about his likes, his dislikes, for dynamic social experiences, etc.
we don't know much about him except that she insists she loves him, that society places value on that love, and on that basis she has concluded he loves her too.
this ain't a reciprocal, healthy relationship. it's one person seeking companionship, putting forth effort, and projecting while the other one neglects their desires until they both start playing video games (maybe together? it's not actually specified).
there're probably less depressing songs to walk down the aisle to is what I'm saying, but you do you
@hHir0ki-ish
Swinging in the backyard
Pull up in your fast car
Whistling my name
Open up a beer
And you say, "Get over here
And play a video game"
I'm in his favourite sundress
Watchin' me get undressed
Take that body downtown
I say, "You the bestest"
Lean in for a big kiss
Put his favourite perfume on
Go play your video game
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
And, baby, now you do
Singin' in the old bars
Swingin' with the old stars
Livin' for the fame
Kissin' in the blue dark
Playin' pool and wild darts
Video games
He holds me in his big arms
Drunk and I am seeing stars
This is all I think of
Watchin' all our friends fall
In and out of Old Paul's
This is my idea of fun
Playin' video games
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
And, baby, now you do
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
And, baby, now you do
Hmm, hmm, hmm
(Now you do)
(Now you do)
Now you do
(Now, now you do)
(Now you do)
(Now you do)
