The futility of online relationships
You can get this close and yet not touch lips
Reach out for someone a half a world away
And yet not know where real desires lay
You can get attached to someone across the sea
But how close can it's-a-small-world-after-all be?
And if you finally meet but you find them a different man
Would you feel that the real world foiled your cybernetic plan?
I need to talk to someone, I gotta go online
I want to meet somebody, I think I'll go online
The advertisements say I can find a friend online
You think I could find myself a lover... online?
You can't see your lover and feel their breath
Can't smell the sex between you
Get close enough so that there are no secrets left
Fill up the space between you
