I'm going to give my opinion on video games, and I've probably listened to the song over a hundred times. When the song first came out I remember reading an interview or article where Lana explains how it's about two people. One guy she's actually currently in a relationship with. The other is an old relationship that she's obviously still thinking about the guy, and wishing things had turned out differently. She went onto say that the verses are about how it actually was with the one guy and then the chorus is how she actually wished it had been with the previous relationship. From the lyrics you can grasp that the current relationship is kind of becoming tedious. But if you actually pay attention to the lyrics you will pick up that she uses two different possessive adjectives "his" and "your". With that in mind if you look at the lyrics it makes sense because even though she's with one guy everything she's doing subconsciously is for the other.
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
(This is what actually happened.. "your")
I'm in his favorite sun dress
Watching me get undressed take that body downtown
(She's in his, meaning the other guys favorite sundress)
I say you the bestest
Lean in for a big kiss put his favorite perfume on
(She says he's the best and is putting on a facade of total happiness, yet she still puts the other guys favorite perfume on)
Like previously stated the chorus is about the old relationship and how she wished it had been. It correlates with how she referenced it in the verses, how she's doing things for the other guy even though she's in a relationship with the one. She's putting on his favorite sundress and perfume.
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
Even though she's in one relationship, she's still doing everything for the old one.
