Maybe someday, saved by zero,
I'll be more together.
Stretched by fewer thoughts that leave me.
Chasing after my dreams; disown me, loaded with danger.
 
So maybe I'll win. (Saved by zero.)
Maybe I'll win.  (Saved by zero.)
Holding onto words that teach me.
I will conquer space around me.
 
So maybe I'll win. (Saved by zero.)
Maybe I'll win.  (Saved by zero.)
Maybe I'll win.  (Saved by zero.)
Maybe I'll win.  (Saved by zero.)
Saved by, saved by, saved by zero.
Saved by, saved by, saved by zero.
Saved by, saved by, saved by zero.
