(Verse 1) I ran all the data, cross-referenced the feeds Scrolled through every profile looking for what I need. The algorithm promised a 99 percent fix, Said our flaws would cancel out, said we'd transcend the tricks. I showed up with the best version, the one I curated hard, You showed up with the filter that broke every safety guard. We shook hands on the pre-nup of keeping our feelings low, 'Cause we both agreed that real love was canceled years ago. (Pre-Chorus) We're both scared of the failure, the inevitable crash, So we hold each other gently in this digital ash. We're just two lonely users trying to bypass the pain, Waiting for the system to tell us we're insane. (Chorus - HUGE, soaring vocal by Cody, high-energy anthemic guitars) They call this love "Loading... Perfect Match" It’s a glitch in the program, a life we can’t catch. It's not fire, it's just static, but I don't want it to end! I don't know if you're real, but I need you, my friend! We're two bugs in the code trying to build a clean patch, We're terrified of passion, so we just settle for a match! Just keep loading, keep loading, stay right where you are! I don't need a real romance, I just need a five-star! (Verse 2) We only talk in memes now, we only text in code, Anything too honest is too heavy of a load. I memorized your trigger words, the jokes that make you smile, I'm just performing closeness for a little while. And I know you're running background checks on every ex I've known, Trying to find the vulnerability I haven't shown. We're perfectly transparent, perfectly sanitized and clean, The most accurate, cold-blooded love I've ever seen. (Pre-Chorus) We're both scared of the failure, the inevitable crash, So we hold each other gently in this digital ash. We're just two lonely users trying to bypass the pain, Waiting for the system to tell us we're insane. (Chorus - HUGE, soaring vocal by Cody, high-energy anthemic guitars) They call this love "Loading... Perfect Match" It’s a glitch in the program, a life we can’t catch. It's not fire, it's just static, but I don't want it to end! I don't know if you're real, but I need you, my friend! We're two bugs in the code trying to build a clean patch, We're terrified of passion, so we just settle for a match! Just keep loading, keep loading, stay right where you are! I don't need a real romance, I just need a five-star! (Bridge) And maybe that's enough, to not feel completely numb. To have someone else here when the loneliness comes. If I turn off the screen, if I step away from the phone, Will you still be here, or will I be completely alone? (Silence, then a quick, nervous guitar strum) (Chorus - Final, Explosive Outro, with Eli joining on shouted harmonies) They call this love "Loading... Perfect Match" It’s a glitch in the program, a life we can’t catch! It's not fire, it's just static, but I don't want it to end! I don't know if you're real, but I need you, my friend! We're two bugs in the code trying to build a clean patch, We're terrified of passion, so we just settle for a match! Just keep loading, keep loading, stay right where you are! I don't need a real romance, I just need a five-star!
