An Alternate Reality

After recording this, I realized that it doesn't have a bassline. It's not bad, even without, as alternative pop songs go, but I think a bassline might help with the otherwise high pitches in the chorus. But I'm no expert.
Anyway, I'm particularly proud of the lyrics in the second verse because I think I'm clever even if no one else does.
------------------------------------------------------------
V1
In this world, you and I are strangers who just sat near each other on a train.
We will never even speak and not because I’m meek but
You are tired of fighting off the weirdos down on Main.
And I have lots of empathy for that kind of pain.
Even though we should be together.
Chorus
There’s an alternate reality where I love you and you love me.
We have a home on a piece of land and all the friends that we can stand.
There’s never war or blistered feet and everyone gets enough to eat.
And I love you and you love me in an alternate reality.
V2
AR number 146 is ruled with an iron fist by a raving demagogue named Barmus Prime
And while living there would not be great there’s always 748
Where you and I have vowed to love each other for all time
And that world is completely free of crime.
And I know that we should be together.
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
I’m working on a machine
To take me to a place
Where you and I are together
Repeat Chorus
Outro
Where’s my alternate reality?
I’m coming for you.
I know there ain’t no such thing as meant to be.
But there’s an alternate reality for me.
