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.
We got style and we got grace
We run wild and never dance alone
In this town she's fucking famous
But this town will never be her home
The Sun sets on a promise kept
And I try but I don't need
This modern love, this modern love
Oh it always lets me down
This modern love, this modern love
Oh it always lets me down
The popularity trap strikes again
You don't need this fools cause you're incroyable
(Which is French for incredible)
We found solace at the star and garter
No malice, I can feel you coming alive
Ignore the warning signs
And we try but I don't need this
This modern love, this modern love
Oh it always lets me down
This modern love, this modern love
Oh it always lets me down
A bare mattress
A lot close door, two Whittington hearts on Pique Assiette floor
Give me back those awkward exchanges
The fumbles on bathtubs, when we were just strangers
We talk about your graduation
And the realization that we might not be together forever and ever
Amen
Wide eyed and up all night
This could be good, but I don't want to shy away
I hear them say: Romance is dead
And I don't need this
This modern love, this modern love
Oh it always lets me down
This modern love, this modern love
Oh it always lets me down
