Modern Life Lyrics

See you looking down

At the bus stop baby

Feeling lonely blue

In a world gone crazy

Reflecting off a screen

All the misery it brings

Is this modern life

This our modern life

Never looking into

Each other's eyes

Caught up in the glitter

Of a shimmering time

Feeding us the message

That we're never enough

We watch each other

As they learn from us

If you wanted to

You could look right through

The curtain of a life

That you barely knew

So if you couldn't win

Why put up a fight

Is this modern life

This our modern life

So give yourself

The kind of love

That's good enough

For the one

That you could only

Dream of

Don't pull the punch

Get drunk on love

Our medicine

Is face to face

And skin to skin

Now let it in

Gaze into the layers

Of each other's eyes

Put the screen away

While we're spending time

Lock into this moment

And breathe in as we own it

This is modern life

This our modern life

I can stop

I can hold

You in my hands

Flick the thumb

Pinch the nails

Bad medicine

I can't live

I can't breathe

Without you near

Is this love

Is this how

Supposed to feel

Give yourself

The kind of love

That's good enough

For the one

That you could only

Dream of

Don't pull the punch

Get drunk on love

Our medicine

Is face to face

And skin to skin

Now let it in

Gaze into the layers

Of each other's eyes

Put the screen away

While we're spending time

Lock into this moment

And breathe in as we own it

This is modern life

This our modern life
