I only used to play with you when we were kids;
after the funeral, the smell of incense still lingered
The days will go on regardless,
and with no goals in mind, I close my eyes...
At 2 AM in my day-to-day apartment life,
your ghost popped out at my bedside
"Boo, I'm not bitter, and I'm not gonna curse you."
You gave a translucent grin...
"Remember that game we always played? I lent it to you, but you never gave it back."
"Well, I never got a chance to beat it."
"And I won't in the afterlife..."
So...
I'm here with spectral you, gaming with bleeps and bloops,
and we're just as sucky as ever...
I wonder, why do things never go well for us?
Why does my guy always die so quickly?
Lululu...
Seeing through you, it's a floating controller;
to make you feel at home, we've got French fries and cola
But I look aside from those things,
thinking about next month's rent...
We never studied much, but traded games back and forth;
I meant to give it back, honest,
but we were suddenly distant...
So...
On these extra days, with buttons clacking, let's play;
playing co-op sure brings me back...
I wonder, why do I always get so into this?
Why am I the only one who still has lives?
Wandering spirits float and pass us by,
pointing fingers at us and laughing...
Easily-predictable gimmicks make predictable us their victims,
but soon we learn the patterns, and we're finally at the last boss
After we beat the game, we know not to hope for a sequel;
and the save data we've written
will someday be overwritten...
But...
I'm here with spectral you, gaming with bleeps and bloops,
and it may be sad, but I have to do it...
We arrive exhausted at the end credits,
full of names we don't know...
And...
We celebrate with a high-five - it passes through, we guffaw;
it's already morning outside...
"We kept messing up like always, but still, it was lots of fun."
And with a goofy face, you vanished...
The sleepless night dimly dawns, my head numb;
I faintly smell memories that really are trivial
And the truth was, you'd haunted the console,
though you still haven't noticed...
The adapter is still warm...
