In the city lights, high in the digital glow
You know that I feel it (oh yeah, you’re real, I need it)
Heartbeat racing, chasing codes in the night
You know that I’m lost in (oh yeah, you’re real, I need it)

Running on hope, out of signal
I’m always dreaming of you in a world so digital
Sirens start to scream, systems go offline
What doesn’t break me pulls me to your light

And it’s real, the spark in the static
Surreal, the rush when we touch
And it’s ooh, whoa-oh
It’s Love Code 3000
“We’re safe,” that’s what you told me
No rules in digital lightning
But ooh, whoa-oh
It’s Love Code 3000 with you (yeah, yeah)

Hide your face low in the glow of the circuit screen
I’m not lying (oh yeah, you’re right, I need it)
You say love can’t survive in a world like this
We’re still fighting (oh yeah, you’re right, I need it)

So cut the screen light, hide from the fight
I’m always waiting for you, though I know it’s not right
Hearts break in code, angels turn away
And if I shatter, you’ll be the last to know, oh

And it’s real, the spark in the static
Surreal, the rush when we touch
And it’s ooh, whoa-oh
It’s Love Code 3000
“We’re safe,” that’s what you told me
No rules in digital lightning
But ooh, whoa-oh
It’s Love Code 3000 with you (yeah, yeah)

I'm lost in the code of your eyes
And I broke down like a glitch in the night (oh)
Said, "I’m fine," but I’m drowning inside
I can’t hide the secrets I try to fight

I sneaked through the wires, met you at dawn
Every day that year, just to keep holding on (oh)
And I whispered, "For whatever it's worth
I need you, ain't that the hardest truth I've ever heard?"

You look back, smirking like a ghost.
And it’s real, the spark in the static
Surreal, the rush when we touch
And it’s ooh, whoa-oh
It’s Love Code 3000
“We’re safe,” that’s what you told me
No rules in digital lightning
But ooh, whoa-oh
It’s Love Code 3000 with you (yeah, yeah)

I'm lost in the code of your eyes
And I broke down like a glitch in the night (oh)
Said, "I’m fine," but I’m drowning inside
I can’t hide the secrets I try to fight

I sneaked through the wires, met you at dawn
Every day that year, just to keep holding on (oh)
And I whispered, "For whatever it's worth
I need you, ain't that the hardest truth I've ever heard?"
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Maybe I am a robot, no really, hear me out.
Perhaps all this time I’ve always known
that in existence there was room to doubt
this fleshy simulation, I call my own.

What if, to fulfil my dreadful curiosity,
I tear away my soft and pudgy outer shell
to find a mesh of moving parts and circuitry
instead of living, breathing cells.

Maybe I’d shed a tear at the realisation,
With a hint of shock, horror and/or dismay.
One moment calm, then launched into frustration .
All quite possible, but I couldn’t really say.

I just hope that you’d
still love me -

anyways...
Composed thinking about You

I love you more
Than numbers can count,
Though we keep them climbing higher.
I wonder if we reach 3.000
Before you know what it means.
You make me feel invincible,
Earthquake powerful

All that he says is
I love you three thousand
And I am in tears.

Three thousand miles of continent
soil
dirt
grass
gravel

Three thousand miles of people
busy
tired
drama
life

Three thousand miles of need
love
lust
touch
taste

Three thousand miles away from you
is
slowly
killing
me

— The End —
