Wave 1: Echoes track 02

Glitch in My Heart (Piano Version)

The pixels fade and the nerves remain: a softer version that turns the song inward and gives the relationship tension more room to breathe.

Lyrics

The timer counts down, do you want to continue? The loading screen sound plays out all around you

Even though we crash, we keep playing on But now we’re low on lives, something feels wrong Pixels blur, can’t hit restart Eject the game, try and blow in the cart

But every now and then I feel a glitch in my heart Like the screen starts to freeze and we’re falling apart You were my player two, now I don’t know who you are But every now and then I feel a glitch in my heart (I feel a glitch in my heart)

Now you’re not here, and the screen’s gone black The echoes of laughter, they won’t come back

Even though we crash, we keep playing on But now we’re low on lives, something feels wrong Pixels blur, can’t hit restart Eject the game, try and blow in the cart

But every now and then I feel a glitch in my heart Like the screen starts to freeze and we’re falling apart You were my player two, now I don’t know who you are But every now and then I feel a glitch in my heart (I feel a glitch in my heart)(I feel a glitch in my heart)(I feel a glitch in my heart)

I’m stuck on pause, holding on But maybe this connection’s gone Trying to reboot, but it’s not the same Do we quit or keep playing this game?

But every now and then I feel a glitch in my heart Like the screen starts to freeze and we’re falling apart You were my player two, now I don’t know who you are But every now and then I feel a glitch in my heart

But every time I pause, I feel the pain restart Like the levels we lost, tearing us apart You were my player two, now I don’t know who you are But every now and then I feel a glitch in my heart (a glitch in my heart)(a glitch in my heart)The timer counts down, do you want to continue?

About this song

The pixels fade and the nerves remain: a softer version that turns the song inward and gives the relationship tension more room to breathe.

The piano version is stripped back and more intimate—a quiet moment between two people who’ve been together for a long time. The noise falls away, the beat slows down, and what’s left is something more raw: the feeling of doubt that sometimes creeps in, even in the strongest connections.
