Her kisses are metallic and her touch is firm but cold.
And I don't thinks she sleeps at night, but plugs into the wall.
And we have a great relationship,
Based on things that can't be said.
And she has a great relationship with our television set.

And, yeah, I'm in love with an android, but so what?
Stranger things have happened,
Stranger things have been loved.

The neighbors are an odd bunch and they're too inquisitive.
They don't like heavy metal,
Or the type she shacks up with.
But I swore I'm done with humans
And I like to keep my word.
And she beeps for me every time it's time to go water the fern.

And, yeah, I'm in love with an android, but so what?
Stranger things have happened,
Stranger things have been loved.

And, yeah, I'm in love with an android, but so what?
Stranger things have happened,
Stranger things have been loved.

    This song is just so romantic. I think Android/human love is beautiful. This is my favorite song so far that I've heard from Ferocious Mopes. It's low key and slow, something Say Hi to Your Mom can totally nail.

    oh, this song is soooo great... but it's still got that bittersweetness to it, like humans are too painful (as well as unpredictable) and loving one can get you in all sorts of trouble. plus, i think when the remark is made "stranger things have been loved" i think it is meant that stranger things have gotten in the way of love (money, greed, pettiness, etc. etc.) or been used as a distraction to make someone forget about love (money, drugs, etc. etc.). this song is so great.

    Perfect explanation. He needs something more stable and 'firm'. Humans cause too much grief.

    This song is so cute. I love Say Hi to Your Mom. They make me feel happy!

    this song is amazing, i love it. usually i don't like slow songs like this, but this one is just incredible. i love the meaning;

    i think, though, it may have some meaning in the way of that humans are too painful to love, so he loves the android just so he's not alone, not necessarily because they are soul mates.

    this song made me cry when I first heard it, it was so sweet. I think it's like he loves a girl who is different, but he doesn't care. because he loves her. no matter what.

    This song could also be a sarcastic reply to someone's criticism (prob an ex...). mostly because of the "yeah" in the title and the "so what" thing.

    just my 2 cents... lol

In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
