lyrics

V1

In this world, you and I are strangers who just sat near each other on a train.
We will never even speak and not because I’m meek but
You are tired of fighting off the weirdos down on Main.
And I have lots of empathy for that kind of pain.
Even though we should be together.


Chorus

There’s an alternate reality where I love you and you love me.
We have a home on a piece of land and all the friends that we can stand.
There’s never war or blistered feet and everyone gets enough to eat.
And I love you and you love me in an alternate reality.


V2

AR number 146 is ruled with an iron fist by a raving demagogue named Barmus Prime
And while living there would not be great there’s always 748
Where you and I have vowed to love each other for all time
And that world is completely free of crime.
And I know that we should be together.


Repeat Chorus


Bridge

I’m working on a machine
To take me to a place
Where you and I are together


Repeat Chorus

Outro
Where’s my alternate reality?
I’m coming for you.
I know there ain’t no such thing as meant to be.
But there’s an alternate reality for me.
