Modern Love

She said this talking

Kind of wears me out

And all these salesmen

Baby, make me tired

They're no good, to tell you the truth, she said

I've been gettin' used to liars

They send me love songs, with store bought words

They make promises, like politicians

We stumble

And disconnect

Over and over again

This modern love is not enough

She said, watch your back

I'm nobody's girlfriend

This modern love is not enough

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

They said one big exhale never did me no, good

I'd let em in, I

Oh man, I'd let em win

I'd burn my house down

Just to hear them scream my name

I've carried hopes

And heavy daydreams she said

But I'm done with sleeping

Take the phone calls

Take this circus

Take the drama, cause baby it's worthless

This modern love is not enough

She said, watch your back

I'm nobody's girlfriend

This modern love is not enough

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

They said one big exhale never did me no, good

One big exhale never did me no good

And the bright light shines

And we ache and we break and we try

Stage light shines

And they blind our eyes

To it all

Still we ache and we break and we just can't get it right

This modern love is not enough

She said, watch your back

I'm nobody's girlfriend

This modern love is not enough

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh this modern love is a taco truck

Come on take the phone calls baby

I'll take all the silence

This modern love is not enough

Oh oh oh oh oh

One big exhale never did me no good

One exhale

One big exhale

Yeah one exhale never did me no good

Never did me no good
