Mouth's Cradle - Video Game lyrics

I jump around keep making mistakes I fall on my face Oh but it doesn't hurt cause I'm in the TV And I keep thinking I should call you But what I should do Is a new concept that is terrifying me Like facing hordes of scary monsters To quest for wonders That go away as soon as I get up to stretch But I was having a good time, babe I hope that I saved Because I'd hate to find that I got nothing left I hole myself up in my basement Cause I can't face it Because I never know just what will happen next I never use none of those cheat codes I'm packing heat, though That doesn't mean I'm necessarily correct But it could mean that I'm a winner Or a beginner But probability says somewhere in between I hope that you don't pick the phone up Cause I'll get choked up Cause I can never say exactly what I mean I wish that love was like a video game And that no matter how I played it it would turn out the same but I'll grab my helmet and get back in my car Went for whatever I could get but didn't get very far and [Hook] You know that I would turn 'em off You know that I would turn 'em off If I could have you back again I duck and cover like I'm dodging To flee the watchmen Who patrol the city that I gotta save But I can't hide from accusations So please be patient Or else I'll send myself into an early grave From all the worrying I'm doing Okay so you win I'm not a liar - I admire your technique Cause all my favorite games are violent But you're just silent And still could quite easily knock me off my feet I wish that love was like a videogame And that no matter how I played it it would turn out the same but I'll take my tunic off and pocket the sword Because the stuff I found exciting is just making me bored and [Hook] And won't you come into my world And won't you let me be your toy And won't you play me like a fool Your half-robotic boy I think that I've come to my senses And my defenses Don't have a need to be on anything but low It wasn't nice of me to restart Or play with your heart No Oh but I think I learned my lesson So keep me guessing Because I've come to like that spontaneity And so I'll take you out this evening My face is beaming Oh, what's become of me? I'm glad that love ain't like a video game Because no matter how I played it it would turn out the same and It's nice to go outside and look at the sun And realize I made my living out of just having fun and You know that I would turn 'em off [x4] If I could have you back again
