Matt Nathanson Modern Love lyrics

She said this talking kind of wears me out
All these salesmen, baby, make me tired
They're no good, to tell you the truth, she said
I've been getting used to liars

They send me love songs, oh, 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 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 them in, I, oh man, I'd let them 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 just 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 still we ache and we break and we try
The stage lights shine and they blind our eyes to it all, oh
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 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 yeah

One big exhale never did me no good
One exhale, one big exhale
Yeah, one exhale never did me no good
Oh no, never did me no good
