Matt Nathanson - Modern Love lyrics

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 getting used to liars
These silly 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 let em in, I oh man, I 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 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
Still we ache and we break and we try
Stage light shines and they blind our eyes
To it all, oh 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, yeah
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
No, it never did me no good
