Lyrics
Modern Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I know when to go out
And when to stay in
Get things done
I catch a paper boy
But things don't really change
I'm standing in the wind
But I never wave bye-bye
But I try, I try
It's not really work
It's just the power to charm
I'm lying in the wind
But I never wave bye bye
But I try, I try
Never gonna fall for
Walks beside me
Walks on by
Gets me to the church on time
Terrifies me
Makes me party
Puts my trust in god and man
No confessions
No religion
Don't believe in modern love
It's not really work
It's just the power to charm
I'm still standing in the wind
But I never wave bye bye
But I try, I try
Modern love, modern love
Modern love, modern love, walks beside me
Modern love, modern love, walks on by
