Modern Love Songtext
von Matt Nathanson

She said this talking
Kind of wears me out
All these salesmen
Babe, they make me tired

They′re no good, to tell you the truth, she said
I've been getting used to liars

They sing me love songs with store bought words
They make promises like politicians

So we stumble
And we 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 'em 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 just 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
Still we ache and we break and we try
Stage light shines
And they blind our eyes to it all, 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
Oh yeah, 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
