[Verse 1]
I didn't want to be the one to 

 I thought of everything I'd never   

 A little time with you is all that I   

 That’s all we need because it's all we can take

One thing I never see the same when your 'round
I don’t believe in him—his lips on the ground
I wanna take you to that place in a rush
But no one gives us any time anymore

You used me once, you fled, looking, it was dark
You made an offer for it, then you ran off
I got this picture of us kids in my head
And all I hear is the last thing that you   

[Pre Chorus]
"I listened to your 

 Now listen to mine"
I didn't want to anymore, oh oh oh

[Chorus]
And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a   

 Can I give it up or give it away
Now I thought about what I wanna say
But I never really know where to   

 So I chained myself to a  

  'Cause I know it unlocks like a door

And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a   

 Can I give it up or give it away
Now I thought about what I wanna say
But I never really know where to
So I chained myself to a
Some more again

[Verse 2]
It didn't matter what they wanted to   

He thought he saw someone that looked just like me
The summer memory that just never dies
We worked too long and hard to give it no   

He sees right through me, it's so easy with lies
Cracks in the road that I would try and   

 He runs his scissors at the seam in the wall
He cannot break it down or else he would fall
One thousand lonely stars hiding in the
Take it, I don't wanna sing anymore

[Pre Chorus]
"I listened to your  

  Now listen to mine"
I didn't want to anymore, oh oh oh

[Chorus]
And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a   

 Can I give it up or give it away
Now I thought about what I wanna say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a   

 'Cause I know it unlocks like a door

And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a   

 Can I give it up or give it away
Now I thought about what I wanna say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a  

  'Cause I know it unlocks like a door...

I don't understand, don't get upset
I'm not with you
We’re swinging around,
It's all I do, when I'm with you

[Chorus]
And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a   

 Can I give it up or give it away
Now I thought about what I wanna say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a   

 'Cause I know it unlocks like a door

And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a   

Can I give it up or give it away
Now I thought about what I wanna say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a
'Cause I know it unlocks like a door

Warren Fu directed the music video for "Instant Crush" with production by Daft Arts. He was previously responsible for the album artwork of Random Access Memories, and co-directed the video for "Lose Yourself to Dance". Tony Gardner and Alterian, Inc. designed character effects for "Instant Crush" and created statues from wax and fiberglass. Gardner previously directed Daft Punk's music video for "The Prime Time of Your Life" and was involved in the feature film Daft Punk's Electroma as well as the Alive 2006/2007 tour. Clips from the "Instant Crush" video were released exclusively on French news channel BFM TV on December 5, 2013. The full music video was released on Vevo the following day.

The music video has a 4:3 aspect ratio and has a film-like effect. It involves the love story of two wax figures on display at an exhibition hall: a French soldier who bears a resemblance to Casablancas, and a female peasant on display across him. The video is interspersed with shots of Casablancas singing. The two figures are later put into a storage room where a fire starts, causing them to fall over beside each other and hold hands as they melt. "Instant Crush" contains a brief appearance of the Daft Punk robot helmets, which were originally engineered by Gardner and Alterian. The video was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" as well as The Twilight Zone television series.
