[Verse 1]

Everyone's sleeping, he gets up for work in the same shirt

He puts on a bag filled with words written by other people

I wonder sometimes if he has his own people to write for

And nobody asks him and everyone just wants to small talk

[Pre-Chorus]

The kid in the window at 42 smiles

You give him a letter and ruin his life

You never know whose heart it could break

A birthday card or a funeral date

[Chorus]

If you're replaced by a robot

And suddenly nobody talks

If you're replaced by a robot

I'll need you still, I'll need you still, I'll need you still

[Verse 2]

You sent yourself a hello in the post but it got lost

Either that or someone else got a card with no context

You hate February 'cause your bags heaviest on the 14th

And you always hope that there'll be one addressed to your street

[Pre-Chorus]

The man in the window at 42 tries

You give him a letter and ruined his life

You drop off your last in the late afternoon

Overdue rent or a get well soon

[Chorus]

If you're replaced by a robot

And suddenly nobody talks

If you're replaced by a robot

I'll need you still, I'll need you still, I'll need you still

If you're replaced by a robot

And suddenly nobody talks

If you're replaced by a robot

I'll need you still, I'll need you still, I'll need you still

[Outro]

If you're replaced by a robot

And suddenly nobody talks

If you're replaced by a robot

I'll need you still, I'll need you still, I'll need you still
