(Verse 1)
Scrolling through the archives of a life we used to know,
Before the world got moving at the speed of a video.
You’re sitting across from me, but you’re a million miles away,
Lost inside a simulation, hiding from the day.
So I reach across the table just to see if you can feel,
Remind you for a second what it’s like when love is real.
(Chorus)
'Cause we’re just wired hearts trying not to short-circuit tonight,
Looking for a spark in the middle of the neon light.
They can automate the feelings, they can replicate the view,
But they can't duplicate the way I feel when I'm with you.
Hold onto the static, don't you let the signal fade,
We are the masterpiece that never can be remade.
(Verse 2)
You whisper in the dark, and it sounds like a melody,
Sweeter than the algorithms generated for me.
We’re unplugging the monitors, we’re shutting down the screen,
Living in the spaces right between the unseen.
Let the baseline hit the floor, let the software crash and burn,
We’re going back to basics, waiting for our turn.
(Bridge)
And if the power goes out, and the grid goes completely dark,
We’ll still have the fire that we started from a spark.
No artificial intelligence can tell us how to beat,
We’re dancing to our own rhythm right out in the street.
(Chorus)
'Cause we’re just wired hearts trying not to short-circuit tonight,
Looking for a spark in the middle of the neon light.
They can automate the feelings, they can replicate the view,
But they can't duplicate the way I feel when I'm with you.
Hold onto the static, don't you let the signal fade,
We are the masterpiece that never can be remade.
(Outro)
Just real skin.
Just real touch.
Wired hearts.
Never too much.
Fade to black.
