Silverball Lyrics
Roll around
And I stare at you
Your lights and the sound
Am I scared of you?
You could take me down
Like you’re set to do
But hear me now
I’ll take care of you
CHORUS:
Light me up and knock me down
I’m free-game whenever you’re around
So lock me in, we’re special-bound
‘Cause you’re my Silverball
Had it all
There and back again
I destroyed the ring
On the attack again
The multi-ball
Was on track again
But I watched it fall
Through the center drain
[CHORUS x1]
BRIDGE:
Silence is fine
But you won’t play me blind
Drops in a line
But reset every time
I’ll change your mind
If I hurt you, oh so carefully
Setting up
Hitting shots again
Getting tough
Making locks again
If you’ve seen one
Then they’re all the same
Just shoot the lights
And avoid outlanes
[CHORUS x2]
And I stare at you
Your lights and the sound
Am I scared of you?
Like you’re set to do
But hear me now
I’ll take care of you
Light me up and knock me down
I’m free-game whenever you’re around
So lock me in, we’re special-bound
‘Cause you’re my Silverball
There and back again
I destroyed the ring
On the attack again
The multi-ball
Was on track again
But I watched it fall
Through the center drain
Silence is fine
But you won’t play me blind
Drops in a line
But reset every time
I’ll change your mind
If I hurt you, oh so carefully
Hitting shots again
Getting tough
Making locks again
If you’ve seen one
Then they’re all the same
Just shoot the lights
And avoid outlanes

I think this is somebody comparing there love of pinball machines (cough cough Ed) to the person he loves and wanting to ask them to go on a date or marry him (Verse 1) It also says am I scared of you and 'you could take me down' and 'light me up, knock me down' referring to the ups and downs to a conversation.
