[Verse 1]
Don't know where your heart is, but you know where you started
You try to fight it, but it's all decided, woah
[Pre-Chorus]
And nobody knows that I didn't choose it

[Chorus]

Could we be machine? Could we be machine?
Could be laughing right now, could be laughing right now
Could we be machine? Could we be machine?
[Verse 2]

Could be laughing right now, could be laughing right now
Could we be machine? Could we be machine?

And life comes in many parts to us until the engine stalls
[Chorus]
Could be laughing right now, could be laughing right now
Could we be machine? Could we be machine?
Could be laughing right now, could be laughing right now
Could we be machine? Could we be machine?
