Modern Love Lyrics

by Matt Nathanson

she said this talking
kind of wears me out
and all these salesmen
baby, make me tired

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e47922-matt_nathanson~modern_love_lyrics.html ]
they're no good, to tell you the truth, she said
I've been getting used to liars

they send me love songs, with store bought words
they make me 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 nobodies 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 hope
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 nobodies 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 nobodies girlfriend
this modern love is not enough
oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh this modern love is just 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
