Verse 1

Sat here half-alone beside my screen

People come and go,

that's how it works out here

Hope I find someone just like me

Verse 2

Talking to a stranger 'cross the world

Cereal and sweatpants, where's my girl?

Hope I find someone just like me

Chorus 1

Listen, your commander's speaking

I'm so sad to tell you this, but

There are no free agents left

We're bringing your time to an end

And this is me from out the curtain

Saying I'm not cut out for this

Quest for orange Wednesday's lover

Guess I'll never be a red lobster

Verse 3

Walking through the crowds of empty hearts

Destined for the factory as spare parts

I hope they give mine to someone sweet
