[Hook]

Screamed through your concert, saw your rhymes ignite the night

I felt your pulses beat like mine

“My flight’s tomorrow morning”, you told me at the backstage

Leaving this life behind to shoot for Hollywood


[Bridge]

You’re tequila shots by sun-lit pools

In endless radiant summers

A perfect heartbeat shaped sixteen by nine online

So I’ll chase down every party’s booze

And wade through LA’s wonders

But your silhouette is what I’ll never find

Because


[Chorus]

I’m in love with a simulation, in lovе when you simulate it

I’m in love with a simulation, I’m in lovе, I’m in love, I’m in love

I’m in love with a simulation, in love when you simulate it

I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love

The years went by but I was yet to crack the code

Why I obsessed for so long

Yet gloomy days and some ugly nervous breakdowns

Unearthed the truth I hid so long from my mind

I toiled away at a dead-end place

Just barely getting by and

Couldn’t admit I’ve chosen life’s wrong side in time

So I projected all my hopes and dreams

On you who flew away then

The night your sparkling image came alive

That’s why


[Chorus]

I’m in love with a simulation, in love when you simulate it

I’m in love with a simulation, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love

I’m in love with a simulation, in love when you simulate it

I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love


[Synth Solo]

Could it be possible

Through this ritual

That I’m drifting close

Closer to where you shot for

Time’s ticking down

Fading through dusk and dawn

It calls me to an escape

Where no days go to waste

But looking outside

I see the same dead sight

So when tomorrow comes

I’ll be in love with a simulation, I know


[Chorus]

I’m in love with a simulation, in love when you simulate it

I’m in love with a simulation, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love

I’m in love with a simulation, in love when you simulate it

I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love
