[Verse 1]
Lost out in the machinery
Lifeless, slow and cold
[Verse 2]
Alone at home, alone too long
Walk around the complex
No visitors, no oxygen

[Chorus]
Please let that be you
Knocking on my door so loud
Just like you do
Bringing a message or two
You know, you are my fave
And I love you
[Verse 3]
Empty, everything's technical
Sterile, and endless

Observe and obsess
[Chorus]
Please let that be you

You know, you are my fave
And I love you
[Bridge]
You are my fave and I love you
Stand by my side, always be true
You are my fave and I love you
I'll raise my right hand and swear it's true
You are my fave
You are my fave
You are my fave
You are my fave
[Chorus]
Please let that be you
Singing my song so nice sounding like you do
Just humming along to your tune
You know, you are my fave
And I love you
