REPLAY! Lyrics – Cookiebittlez

[Intro]
Woke up in the evening
No sun in my face
Only tears from last night’s party
Let’s get it started, another Friday
(R-R-Reaper on the beat)
This time, I’ll make sure you stay

[Chorus]
Woke up in the evening
No sun in my face
Only tears from last night’s party

Let’s get it started, another Friday
This time, I’ll make sure you stay

[Verse 1]
Saw you dancing in the spotlight
And everything’s alright, said you had something to say
Oh no, you say it’s over
Yeah, my feelings were hurt, so I just pressed replay
Oh-oh-oh, let’s do it again
Forget the pain, we can make amends
Oh-oh-oh, in the flashing lights
Make sure you relive this a hundred times
Oh, I’ve got no more friends
I just live inside my VR headset
Oh, live my life with regret
Over digital love, I obsess

[Chorus]
Woke up in the evening
No sun in my face
Only tears from last night’s party
Let’s get it started, another Friday
This time, I’ll make sure you stay

[Verse 2]

You saw me crying in the spotlight
You asked me if I’m alright
I said, “I wanna press replay”
Oh no, over and over
Wanna escape from the world
And let my body decay
Oh-oh-oh, I’ll do it again
Mess up my life, lose all of my friends
Oh-oh-oh, it’s just me in the end
In my sad virtual world, with my virtual friends
Oh, I need you again, a real human being to hold my hand
Oh, no more fake friends
Just you and me, no more playing pretend

[Chorus]
Woke up in the evening
No sun in my face
Only tears from last night’s party, ‘ty-ty-ty
Started, ‘ed-ed-ed, Friday, ‘ay-ay-ay
Ma-make sure-‘ure you stay

[Intro]
The intro sets a scene of melancholy and reflection. Waking up late, the speaker faces the aftermath of a party—no daylight, just remnants of a night they wish they could redo. They’re determined to change things this time around, signaled by the resolve to ensure someone stays.

[Chorus (1st occurrence)]
Repeated from the intro, the chorus emphasizes the speaker’s emotional state upon waking—an evening devoid of sunlight, marked by tears from the previous night’s events. They’re ready to kickstart another Friday with a determination not to let go this time.

[Verse 1]
In this verse, the speaker recalls seeing their love interest dancing under the spotlight. Initially hopeful, they’re devastated when the person declares it’s over. Feeling hurt, the speaker wishes they could rewind time (“press replay”) to erase the pain and mend things. They confess to living virtually, consumed by regret over a digital love affair that leaves them isolated and friendless.

[Verse 2]
Here, the speaker recounts being seen in distress under the spotlight. Asked if they’re okay, they yearn to replay their life—to escape reality’s pain and let themselves deteriorate.

The verse ends on a plea for genuine human connection, rejecting fake friendships for something real and enduring.
