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 favorite sun dress
Watching me get undressed
Take that body downtown
I say, "You the bestest."
Lean in for a big kiss
Put his favorite perfume on
Go play a 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 want to 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
Baby, now you do
Singing in the old bars
Swinging with the old stars
Living for the fame
Kissing in the blue dark
Playing 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
Watching all our friends fall
In and out of Old Paul's
This is my idea of fun
Playing 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 want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew

First of all, it's not even a new song and Lana Del Rey has been in music industry since 2005. I first listened to this song quite some time ago, not long after Born to Die (the album) was released but I didn't pay that much attention - honestly until the past week. I only managed to catch Video Games, Blue Jeans, and Born to Die (the song) - maybe because I am particularly interested in anything sung in husky lower voice and gloomy/apocalypse ambience, but for the past week, Video Games haunts me the most.
It may happen because of how strangely engrossing melodies that she renders. This song depicts female vulnerability and naivete that make you almost weep, unapologetically delicate tale of infatuation that closely wraps her sadness and desperation. I am not sure contentment is what she feels at the moment, as the boyfriend here looks incapacitated and insolent (let's see, this guy doesn't even pay attention to details as much as she does), but she nonetheless keeps on clinging.
It's like a hidden depression of what looks like regular dating - and it makes you kinda sad. Intimidating and sad. Lana Del Rey indeed does a very good job to meticulously interpret her emotions.

Of course I didn't post this in SongMeanings because it will be so lame.
This kind of emotional love song has always been my weak points. *wiping tears* *hoekk*
