Falling in and out of love has changed drastically with the advent of social platforms like Tinder. They affect the way we interact and meet people, whether we’re looking for relationships or just a chance to fool around. This is a song about this new age of ‘Modern Love’.
[Verse 1]
Sunlight, no sound
Seek shade until we touch the ground
Rough night, hard floor
Gotta promise you an open door
[Verse 2]
Blissed out, cut loose
Can’t remember walking back with you
Skin burns, blood flows
Now we’ve got a place to call our own
[Chorus]
This modern love
Was always gonna fade away
This modern love
And now we’re gonna start again
[Breakdown]
This modern love, this modern love
(Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)
I can hear you calling out
(Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)
Echoes of a distant sound
[Verse 2]
Still high, for now
Walk home and try to figure it out
Heart beats, so slow
Now we’re living in the afterglow
[Chorus]
This modern love
Was always gonna fade away
This modern love
And now we’re gonna start again
[Breakdown]
This modern love, this modern love
(Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)
I can hear you calling out
(Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)
Echoes of a distant sound
[Bridge]
I just wanna stay strong
Been waiting for your love so long
I just wanna stay strong
Been waiting for your touch
(Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)
I can hear you calling out
(Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)
Echoes of a distant sound
[Chorus]
This modern love
Was always gonna fade away
This modern love
And now we’re gonna start again
[Breakdown]
This modern love, this modern love
(Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)
I can hear you calling out
(Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)
Echoes of a distant sound
